📋 About This Mod
Overview
As with my NPC Makeover, I got fed up with the appearance of the Forsworn females in Skyrim. The main issue was the war paint that was put on so heavily you couldn't even tell the females' age or whether they were at all comely under all that paint. And underneath it all, the dirt. Don't women in Skyrim ever wash themselves?
This is my solution to these issues. I've removed war paint, blemishes, wrinkles, and dirt from all the Forsworn females and hope the result is still more or less lore-friendly. And even if it's not, they sure look pretty now. :)
Version 2. 0 (ESPFE) available!
I've decided to convert all my mods to ESPFE (ESL-flagged) versions wherever possible. This means these mods will no longer take up a slot in your load order. Please follow the instructions in the sticky post in the Posts section if you wish to update during a running game. If you're starting a new game, just install and enjoy.
I've also decided to only offer BSA versions from now on. If you need or want a version with loose files, download the Bethesda Archive Extractor and just extract the files from the BSA.
Requirements
This mod requires both the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (version 4. 1. 9 or later) and KS Hairdos (version 1. 61F or later). It will NOT work without them!
Installation
This mod is best used with a new game so the NPCs and their inventory are initialized correctly. If inventory is missing or NPCs are running around naked, try opening the console, click on the offending NPC, and type ResetInventory.
I've uploaded a BSA version and a version with loose files. Most users will want to download the BSA version. The version with loose files is mainly for modders who use MO2. Just click the "Mod Manager Download" button and let your preferred mod manager do the work for you. If you insist on doing it manually, please use the BSA version and install it in the Data folder of your Skyrim SE installation.
Uninstallation
To uninstall, again please use your mod manager. If you're doing it manually (really?), delete the BSA and ESP files from your Data folder. If you were using the loose files version and wish to uninstall manually, good luck!
