📋 About This Mod
Inspired by Expanded Skyrim Presets, NVICO Presets utilizes RaceMenu to give users the same functionality without the need to patch the mod when using race overhauls. Beyond just providing presets this mod easily allows users to easily edit their favorite NPC and customize their face without losing key aspects of their appearance. I’ve posted an article with various methods for NPC face replacement to help out interested users.
The mod at the moment doesn’t contain every NPC, but does contain the most prominent ones as well as all potential followers. I’ll wait on feedback to see who to add next, but if a user leaves a comment asking for someone specifically, I’ll add them much sooner.
Inside the FOMOD, NPCs are divided by location and gender and will be located in their own folder inside the skse Preset’s folder once installed. There’s also an optional plugin that unlocks non-playable vanilla eyes and hair such as Serana and Valerica's hair with full recoloring, vampire eyes, and Karliah’s purple Dunmer Eyes. There's also another optional plugin that sets the vanilla presets to use High Poly Head parts by default, though you will have to select the High Poly Head first for it to take effect.
I think that’s all the pertinent details, so download, enjoy, and post a picture if you give an NPC a great makeover.

NVICO RaceMenu Presets of Vanilla NPCs brings over 300 vanilla NPC presets from the NVICO NPC Overhaul into a FOMOD installer for easy selection. This is a cosmetic mod for Skyrim Special Edition that lets you apply the overhauled looks to your character or NPCs via RaceMenu. With 194 endorsements and 7,091 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated tool for players who want the NVICO aesthetic without the full overhaul.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge variety with 300+ presets covering most vanilla NPCs.
- FOMOD installer makes picking specific presets a breeze.
- Community-tested with 194 endorsements and 7k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires RaceMenu and its dependencies to use the presets.
- Last updated in 2021, so may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Presets are tied to the NVICO aesthetic, which may not match other visual overhauls.
For Skyrim players who love the NVICO NPC overhaul but want to cherry-pick looks for their own character or specific NPCs. Also great for modders who want a large pool of presets to work from. Skip if you prefer a full NPC overhaul or don't use RaceMenu.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install the FOMOD and select only the presets you want.
- Make sure RaceMenu is installed and up to date before loading the presets in-game.
- If you're using other NPC overhauls, load this mod after them to avoid conflicts.
