📋 About This Mod
ABOUT
Clearly the men of Skyrim needed some more attention, so here are another 60 overhauled male NPCs. As usual I have kept it lightweight by having the NPCs use the skin and body mods you have installed and I have left the NPC weights untouched for increased compatiblity with other mods.
IMPORTANT! The skin textures you have installed will drastically change the appearance of any NPC, so they might not look the same in your game as in my screenshots. Below are comparison images of an NPC using 5 different skin textures to show just how much of an impact skin textures have on your game. What you choose is up to you, just know it will greatly affect how male NPCs look. I use Vitruvia but you can of course use whatever you want.
LEGENDARY EDITION
COMPATIBILITY
My overhauls can safely be used together with other replacers as long as the mods are loaded correctly. This mod is also perfectly fine to merge with other non-conflicting mods if you want to save a plugin slot.
INSTALLATION & REQUIREMENTS
The mod comes in a FOMOD installer so I highly recommend installing this with a mod manager of your choice. Manual installation is not recommended unless you know what you're doing. Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch is required for the USLEEP version of this mod.

Q: Is this mod compatible with (insert body mod here)?
A: Yes, this mod only edits NPCs from the neck up.
Q: This NPC is naked!
A: That happens if you install this mod on an existing save due to a few NPC outfits being changed. It's easily fixed by opening the console, targeting the naked NPC and using the resetinventory command. To avoid this "problem" entirely, install this before starting a new playthrough.
Q: The NPCs don't look like in your pictures!
A: I get comments like this a lot, and 9/10 times it's related to th
