📋 About This Mod

Pride of Skyrim 10

Men of Whiterun, Falkreath, Riverwood, Dark Brotherhood and Couriers

I've decided to combine the two mods into one page since I got them both done at the same time.  This includes all men from Riverwood, Whiterun, Falkreath, Dark Brotherhood, and the five couriers.  This now makes a total of 300 NPC replacers I've done.  PHEW!  My game never looked better.

I have created a video that showcases all the men I updated and provided it below  (See below after my tedious instructions).  If you want to know who is who, just check out the image section.

Please endorse if you love this mod.  It keeps me motivated to create more.

Please read thoroughly before downloading

Seriously... DO IT

1. APPEARANCES:  There are NO skin textures attached to this mod.  That means you will have to suffer atrocious vanilla skin textures if you download.  The good news is, it will accept any skin mod you wish to use.  Please be aware that your NPCs will look a bit different than mine using different skin textures.  I also use Silent Horizons ENB and Cathedral Weathers, so your images may look different from mine.

2.  ANIMATIONS:  I am using High Poly Head Version 4 and it requires Expressive Facegen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animation Male.  High Poly Head is baked into the mod, but not the animations.  With that said, some have used this mod without them with no problems.  If you find beard clipping or weird eyes, install these mods.  If not, you should be fine.

3.  EDITING:  Please do not ask me to change appearances or remove tattoos, or ask me to remove NPCs.  I won't do it and you can't make me.  Please... just stop asking.  Thank you!

4.  LOAD ORDER:  These do NOT work with other NPC mods that change the appearance of any men from Whiterun, Riverwood, Falkreath, Dark Brotherhood, and the Couriers.  NPCs should go down towards the end of your load order.

5.  REQUIREMENTS:  You will need to have USSEEP downloaded.  Seriously, everyone should have this by now.  It just makes my life a heck of a lot simpler that I don't have to do patches and extra files.

6.  All the men in the images use Tempered Skins with SOS Light, KS Hairdos, and Apachii SkyHair.

Mods to avoid:

Same NPC overhauls - blackface issues

Mods that change the body size - neck seam issues (floating heads)

Improved Eye Reflections

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 1,140 endorsements and over 44k downloads
  • Targets key early-game areas and factions, so you'll see the changes fast
  • High poly heads give male NPCs a noticeable visual upgrade without changing their identity

⚠️ Cons

  • Only covers male NPCs; female NPCs are untouched, so you'll need other mods for them
  • Last updated in 2020, so it may not be fully compatible with newer mods or game patches
  • Potential conflicts with other NPC overhauls that touch the same characters
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a quick, lore-friendly visual boost to male NPCs in the Whiterun area and Dark Brotherhood. If you're a completionist who wants all NPCs overhauled, pair this with other Pride of Skyrim mods. Skip if you want gameplay changes or female NPC overhauls.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order easily.
  • Place this mod after other NPC overhauls in your load order to ensure its changes take effect.
  • Check for patches if you use other mods that alter the same NPCs, like USSEP or AI Overhaul.
