📋 About This Mod
Simple replacers for NPCs added in the Great Village of Kynesgrove / Mixwater Mill / Old Hroldan's Inn by Archinatic (aka soldierofwar).
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.
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 community backing with 186 endorsements and 38k downloads
- Targets a specific niche—enhancing Archinatic's village mods
- Recent update as of December 2024 shows active maintenance
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you have the original village mods installed—no standalone value
- Limited to three villages; doesn't touch other NPCs
- Compatibility risk with other NPC overhauls that modify the same characters
For Skyrim players who use Archinatic's Great Village mods and want fresh faces for the NPCs there. If you're not using those village mods, this is useless. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original village mods installed first, or this replacer won't work.
- Load this mod after the village mods in your load order to ensure the NPC changes apply.
- If you use other NPC overhauls, check for conflicts and consider a bashed patch.
