📋 About This Mod
Pride of Skyrim 9
Small Town Men
So, yeah. This makes my 8th installment of male NPCs (Yes, it says 9 because my first was a mod of presets). My Pride of Skyrim men, I think, has helped beautify my Skyrim world. After this mod, I have created 253 male NPCs. Let me reiterate: 253 MALE NPCs. And I still have Falreath, Whiterun, and Riverwood to do. By the time I'm done, I will have created well over 300 male NPCs. It's been a LOT of work and I hope people are enjoying my effort, though I've exhausted myself for my own personal benefit and enjoyment despite it becoming nearly a non-paying job lol. Anyhoo, without further ado, on to my long list of ordering you all about.
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 Rorikstead, Ivarstead, Morthal, and Dawnstar. 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,
Pride of Skyrim 9 is a cosmetic NPC overhaul that improves the appearance of male NPCs in Skyrim's small towns. It is part of a series that has updated 253 male NPCs total. The mod requires a separate skin texture mod and recommends High Poly Head animations for best results.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 580 endorsements and over 9k downloads
- Part of a massive series that's overhauled 253 male NPCs so far
- Works with any skin texture mod, so you can customize the look
⚠️ Cons
- Requires separate skin mods or NPCs will look vanilla
- High Poly Head animations are recommended to avoid clipping and weird eyes
- Compatibility risk with other NPC overhauls that touch the same characters
For Skyrim players who want more attractive male NPCs in small towns without changing gameplay. If you're already using a comprehensive NPC overhaul, this might conflict, so check your load order. Skip if you prefer vanilla looks or don't want to bother with additional mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install a skin texture mod like SkySight Skins or Tempered Skins for best results, as this mod doesn't include textures.
- If you see beard clipping or weird eyes, install Expressive Facegen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animation Male as recommended.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily manage and uninstall this mod if needed.
