Resplendent Royals - Jarl's Court NPC Overhaul

A total rework for the visuals of Skyrim's upper crust with an immersive, lore-friendly approach. The Jarls of every hold, as well as their housecarls, court wizards, & stewards have all been covered. My goal was to visually enhance each NPC in a way that wouldn't look too out of place in the vanilla game yet still be unique & reflective of their personality/background. I've also made a few modifications in the form of special equipment & more appropriate attire according to an NPC's station or cultural background. To see an in-depth list of these changes, click HERE. I've also included a stripped down, "appearance only" version without any of these added features for those that want it.

REQUIREMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS

This mod has no hard requirements other than USSEP. However, facegen was generated using Expressive Facegen Morphs so Expressive Facial Animations (Male & Female) could be considered a soft requirement. NPCs will use whatever textures you have installed, but if you'd like your followers to look exactly like the screenshots, I highly recommend Tempered Skins (Male & Female), Mild Complexions, Brows, Beards, & True Faces.

COMPATIBILTY & OTHER INFO

It should go without saying, but this mod is generally incompatible with other mods that edit the same NPCs, whether or not they modify appearances. Most issues can be resolved via proper load order, but some problems may require a different solution. For more information, please read below.

Q: "Can this be flagged as an ESL to save myself a plugin slot?"

A: Possibly. You can use xEdit to compact the FormIDs & add an ESL flag if you want, but I'll leave that up to you.

Q: "Is this compatible with AE?"

A: As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issues. This mod was built/tested in SE & only affects the included NPCs. There are no other edits that should be impacted by the Anniversary Edition.

Q: "I have the gray/dark face bug!"

A: If you have an issue with dark faces, it's likely due to a conflict in your load order. To be safe, run LOOT & make sure my mod's loose files & esp are placed below any others that affect NPC visuals. You should also be aware that any mods which edit NPC records, even without changing their appearance, may also cause the dark face bug & need to be patched. If you're still having issues, please check out THIS article on how to solve mod conflicts before leaving a comment or bug report.

Q: "Some NPCs have invisible hair!"
