📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod covers all 125 named adults that I could find in the Rift region. Includes NPCs from the city of Riften, Thieves Guild, Ivarstead, Fort Dawnguard, several small farms, and the orcs in the Largashbur stronghold .

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 8,259 endorsements and 1.3 million downloads
- Covers every named NPC in the Rift, so you get a consistent look across the region
- High-poly faces mean sharper details and better close-ups during conversations
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2020, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods
- Only affects the Rift region, so NPCs outside that area remain untouched
For Skyrim players who want a visual overhaul of NPCs in the Rift without changing gameplay. If you're a completionist who wants every named character to look better, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for changes outside the Rift or want gameplay tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- Check for compatibility patches if you use other NPC overhauls that affect the same characters.
- Load this mod after other NPC mods to ensure its changes take priority.
