📋 About This Mod
SV Beards SE
3ZUSkE6t-B4
SV Beards v. 2. 1 adds 120 new beard combos to the facial hair slider for males in Skyrim. They are made from vanilla assets, and put together differently to make new combinations. Please see above video. The styles are pretty random so you'll have to scroll thru to check them all out. (This mod only adds new beard combinations so it will work with any beard texture replacers.) To those of you who have used the oldrim version, I have added an extra 7 styles to this new Special Edition version.
I made this mod years ago, and have been using it for most of my characters/npc’s. This mod was inspired by DarkestLycan’s - Muttonchops Goatees Handlebars and Lowcut Mohawks mod here on Nexus(Go check it out!). He said he didn’t mind me releasing these a long time ago so I have had them posted up on my Tumblr Blog, but I've noticed a lot more people seem to be using it now adays so I figured I would post it here on Nexus for anyones mod needs (Hopefully he won't mind me releasing it here on Nexus after all this time). I’m sorry I didn’t have the energy to create a image layout for every beard combo. (If anyone would like to help out with screenshots that would be awesome.) (The video is for the LE version, but it's the same mod +7 new combos. You guys get the idea.)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive variety—120 new combos means you'll never run out of beard styles for your Nord or Orc.
- Community-approved with 2,259 endorsements and nearly a million downloads—this is a staple for many modded playthroughs.
- Simple slider integration—no extra menus or spells, just pick your beard in character creation.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods that alter facial hair.
- Only affects male characters—if you play females, this mod does nothing for you.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're on your own for setup.
For Skyrim players who want more beard options for their male characters without overhauling the whole game. If you're a roleplayer who loves crafting unique warrior or wizard looks, this is a must-have. Skip if you play only female characters or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- Make sure to run LOOT or check for conflicts with other mods that modify the facial hair slider, as they may overwrite each other.
- Test in character creation by opening the race menu (showracemenu) to see the new beards—if they don't appear, check your load order.
