📋 About This Mod
A visual makeover of all female guards and soldiers, including Thalmor, Dawnguard, Vigilants of Stendarr, Hunters, and others.
Overview
As with my other visual overhauls of Skyrim's female NPCs, I've attempted to make the guards and soldiers a lot more pleasing to the eye by removing any blemishes, dirt, and warpaint. I've also modified a few warrior types in this makeover that I couldn't categorize elsewhere. These include:
-
[]Hunters
[
]Thalmor[]Dawnguard
[]Vigilants of Stendarr
- Wilderness Encounters
I also created a few more female Imperial Soldiers. There just weren't very many of them. So, in all, I've modified around 100 NPCs in this makeover.
One last thing: Since I just couldn't bear to look at her anymore, I overhauled the Farmer's Wife while I was at it. You know, the one you encounter with her husband who complains they just lost everything in a dragon attack. I think she looks a LOT nicer now (see image in spoiler below). :)
Version 3. 0 Available!
It seems the experiment with the compacted form IDs didn't work out, so I've uploaded a regular version. This should resolve all the issues everyone was having.
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. If you're using MO2 as your mod manager, MO2 will unpack the BSA for you. If you don't know how to activate this feature, then open the Settings panel > Plugins tab > Plugin sub-category and click on BSA Extractor. On the right, make sure the "Enabled" checkbox is checked. Now, whenever you install a mod with a BSA, MO2 will ask if you'd like to unpack it.
Installation/Uninstallation
As always, please use a mod manager such as Vortex to install or uninstall this mod. I prefer Mod Organizer 2. If you must install manually, then move the ESP and BSA files into the Data folder of your Skyrim SE installation. To uninstall manually, remove the ESP and BSA files from the Data folder of your Skyrim SE installation. If you used the loose files version and installed manually, good luck uninstalling them.
