📋 About This Mod
I tried to somewhat match the original look/vibe of the character, more or less.
Changes were done only to adults, I did not change kids at all (I use RS children patches for that).
They will use whatever body, skin or eye replacer you have installed. Below are listed mods that I highly recommend for the intended look.
The only requirement is the original mod the replacer is for.
If there are issues, please let me know.
Recommended mods:
-
[]hair retexture: Vanilla Hair - Salt and Wind by jasperthegnome and mashanen
[
]scars: Northborn scars by Northborn[]skin textures: BnP male / female by Anna and Fridam, I also highly recommend the RSV version
[]eyes: Fia's eyes by fialka
Instalation
Just use your preferred mod manager and select what you want in fomod. Load after main mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid track record with 241 endorsements and over 85k downloads.
- Fills a niche need for players who want consistent NPC visuals across Archinatic's town overhauls.
- Lightweight replacer that doesn't overhaul gameplay, just character appearance.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Great Town mods, so it's useless without them.
- Only affects NPCs from three specific towns, so limited scope.
- Potential conflicts with other NPC overhauls that touch the same characters.
For Skyrim players who use Archinatic's Great Town overhauls and want their added NPCs to look better or fit a visual theme. Skip if you don't use those mods or if you prefer a full NPC overhaul like Diversity or Pandorable's.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this after the Great Town mods so it overwrites the NPC records properly.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle load order and avoid conflicts.
- If you use other NPC overhauls, load this mod after them to ensure its changes take effect.
