📋 About This Mod
Pride of Skyrim 6
Men of Winterhold
Finally, I have finished my next installment of Male NPC's. It's a journey to beautify the world of Skyrim with handsome man-meat. Men of Winterhold was a request and I aim to please because I have no life.
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 or if it's not causing insurmountable pain.
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 images may look different from mine.
2. ANIMATIONS: I created these using High Poly Head V4. It will need 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 the men of Winterhold. 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, Apachii Skyhair, and HC Hairdos.
Mods to avoid:
Same NPC overhauls - blackface issues
Mods that change the body size - neck seam issues (floating heads)
Improved Eye Reflections (Oldrim) - cataract looking eyes

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 467 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads
- Flexible with any skin texture mod, so you can customize the look to your preference
- Adds handsome man-meat to Winterhold, as the author puts it, for those who want prettier male NPCs
⚠️ Cons
- No skin textures included, so you'll see vanilla textures unless you install your own skin mod
- Requires USSEEP, which is a mandatory dependency for many mods but still an extra install step
- Not compatible with other NPC overhaul mods that change Winterhold men, so you'll need to pick one
For Skyrim players who want to beautify the male NPCs in Winterhold without changing gameplay. If you're into visual overhauls and don't mind installing a skin mod separately, this is for you. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or gritty looks, or if you don't want to deal with extra dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install USSEEP first, then this mod, and place it near the end of your load order to avoid conflicts with other NPC mods.
- If you see beard clipping or weird eyes, install Expressive Facegen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animation Male as the author recommends.
- Since the mod doesn't include skin textures, pick a skin mod you like (e.g., Tempered Skins) to get the best look.
