📋 About This Mod
I like Aela as my companion sometimes. But i need her style more aggressive, charming, pretty but not cute like waifu. This is my taste about Aela. I hope you like it.
I reduced her tattoo opacity. You still can see her tattoo especially under normal lighting to darker one. I like her tattoo but i don't want that tattoo ruin my Aela face because i like see her expression and natural skin. Her body now sporty too like true hunter and aggressive warrior.
Put my mod ( folder and esp ) lowest order please or after any Aela overhaul. I tried this mod with 4 Aela overhaul and i don't see blackface. If you not reading my instruction and experience blackface, i will not answer.
CBBE USERS :
This mod using your default body meshes but bijin skin for UNP body. I separated folder for skin and other assets such brow, eyes, ect. If happen you need cbbe version, all you have to do just put all your cbbe skin inside my skin folder and replace them all from diffuse,normal map, subsurface and specular ( Face,body, Hand ).
I also include patch for standalone body. Replace my esp and everything with that patch and you can use whatever body meshes you like. CBBE or UNP compatible with standalone body patch.
ESP Flagged as esl so it will not take your actual esp space.
