📋 About This Mod

Changes the two dead instances of Susanna during the "Blood on Ice" Quest (and the Sacrifice NPC outside Altar of Thrond as of 1. 1). First encounter is bloody with wounds, second encounter in Hall of the Dead is wiped from blood. Uses the body shape you have installed.

This mod is more of a modders resource as i don't have experience with body textures. It works as it is, uses fair skin complexion and is patched for vanilla and high poly head, but there are numerous skin retextures and custom facegen. For this reason i CANNOT provide patches for other skin and Susanna facegen replacer mods. Resources will be provided for diy patching.

As of 1. 1 it edits the sacrifice outside Altar of Thrond in the Dragonborn DLC.

2. 0

is SPID powered and does not contain any facegen. No more facegen patching needed!

God bless powerofthree and Sasnikol for SPID and 8Hyperplex8 for his script!

Obsolete as of 2. 0 (1 and 2, texture patching is still needed if you want to use your custom body and face textures)

Quick patching tutorial (not needed if you are using one of my provided patches):

1. Esp: Carry over the changes from my esp to the esp of the mod that changes Susanna's appearance. (xEdit)

2. Facegen Meshes: 000D2C9D.nif, 000D5810.nif need to have their diffuse texture set to SusannaHead_2.dds and SusannaHead_1.dds (Nifskope).

2. 1 If the the mod does not have these two files copy the 0001412B.nif facegen twice, rename them as the nifs in step 2 and  change their diffuse texture as per step 2.

3. Body textures: Open the textures of your choice with the texture editing program of your choice (photoshop, gimp, paint.net), add the resources as new layers, set the blending to overlay for blood and normal for the wounds and export as BC7 dds.

3. 1 Additionally i have whitened the textures a bit to simulate blood loss and made the veins a bit more prominent by using vascular textures as overlay.
