📋 About This Mod

TRE BROWS 2 is a collection of Eyebrow textures containing over 50 brow textures with some asymmetric variants for your character's customization, up to 4K resolution

(4K asymmetric brows and 2K symmetric brows)

.

Each eyebrow has pale, medium and dark variants, all customizable through the FOMOD installer.

This mod was made with the intention of taking eyebrow mods to the next generation, therefore every single eyebrow has it's custom normal map, for extreme quality and detail.

There is a patch for

High Poly Head in the mod's installation.

Normal Maps

TRE BROWS 2 is the first mod on Nexus to feature individual eyebrow normal maps, and also possibly the first one to actually apply custom normal maps to eyebrows.

Many eyebrow mods have at least a single new normal map. However, during my tests, these custom textures have only a placebo effect, both on the users and on the authors. Skyrim seems to not be able to apply different normal textures through TextureSets at all, so whenever authors tried doing this, they'd most likely just not noticed any difference whatsoever due to the size of the eyebrows.

I've come with a solution to this, however, through the tedious process of defining each normal map through using specific meshes for each eyebrow. So I just copy-pasted the same mesh over and over while changing the texture paths in the .nif files.

AND IT PAID OFF!

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager to easily toggle between brow variants and preview them in-game.
