📋 About This Mod

Since this is mostly just a head preset, it should work with any body that is compatible with COTR (including vanilla and nevernude options), but without some effort on my part (or the user's) the appearance of the body may turn out differently. I've made SAM and HIMBO versions.

If you would like to use this preset in a follower mod, or NPC replacer, feel free; as long as there's some thanks/credit, I don't mind. At the end of the day this is just a preset. It's the result of much more serious modding efforts made by much more serious mod authors. All I did was spend a handful of hours in a menu moving sliders.

That said, that doesn't give anyone permission to re-upload this preset as-is, or after changing minor colors, details, or slider values. If you use it as a base for your own publicly shared presets, actually make it your own first. Thanks.

Hard Requirements (3):

For customizing your character with extended sliders and improved UI.

COTR - HQ Characters Creation Addon for RM

For the head/face. This preset won't work at all without this.

The SAM Patch in the downloads for COTR is redundant/not required for this preset.

Just choose the base version for CBBE or UNP.

Note: High Poly Head and COTR can be used at the same time.

COTR uses custom copies of vanilla races, so it is completely standalone and will not conflict with mods that affect the vanilla races.

Charmers of the Reach (COTR) - Custom Male Body Patch and Addons

The main file, COR Custom Male Patch. Without this, you will have a really ugly neck-seam.

For HIMBO version, you need (+3):

The New Gentleman

(SOS is effectively redundant and out of date.)

+

Tempered Skins for Males - Vanilla and SOS Versions

Or any other body texture w/ a COTR patch.

These days, I more highly recommend BnP - Male Skin and BnP - CotR Faces.

  • If you're using a mod manager, install this preset through it to keep your load order clean.
