📋 About This Mod
"Thieves Guild leathers? in Riften? Groundbreaking."
~ Maven Black Briar ~
Miranda Priestly, same difference really. She is high poly, ESL flagged, and will use whatever skin textures you have installed.
This is a completely different sculpt, different face than the Maven in my eeekie's Enhanced NPCs mod, which I also enjoy, but I've gotten a bit better at sculpting since then. Eventually I will work this version into that main mod once I'm ready to update it. In these screenshots she is using either ALT 2, or Mature Skin, or a blend of both. I suggest ALT 2 skin at DDS Workshop for the custom older normal map, however Mature Skin available here on nexus looks decent also. If you use Mature, I suggest also using This mod to fix the greenish tint that Mature seems to give some complexions. Maven's eyebrows and eye textures are from DDS workshop, and they are free!
It's never my intention to take credit for other's work, so if I have missed anything in the credits, please let me know and I will fix it right away!
Please visit and endorse their individual pages!
Thank you to all:
Vector Plexus High Poly Head and Expressive Facegen Morphs which gives character creation so many more subtle options for an even greater variety of looks.
khisartin at DDS Workshop for teeth, brows, mouth, skin, eyes, literally everything amazing.
Lamenthia's Marks of Beauty for really beautifully done face details; freckles, birthmarks, dark circles.
Female Makeup Suite Thank you to domainwolf for the best makeup suite on the Nexus.
SC- KS Hairdos Retextured - ShinglesCat really outdid herself here. This is a must-have.
KS Hairdos SSE - Thank you to Kalilies for making such an incredible hair mod!
