DESCRIPTION:
The mods adds Triss Merigold from The Witcher 3 as a playable race for Skyrim.
Requires Race Compatibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard (and its compatible with werewolf\vampire transformation)
- Race Compatibility - LE
- Race Compatibility - SE - AE
The race features:
- Complete facial animations and emotes;
- Warpaints (freckles or tattoes);
- Make-up (tintmasks);
- Custom hairstyles (With optional HDT hair\wigs (SE));
- Custom jewelry, craftable
- Several eye textures, blue and green in various forms;
- 5 different "mouth shapes" to customize your look;
- Several complexions normalmaps with emotion wrinkles, that are only usable for screenshots that are supposed to be used in combination with emotes, for more realistic results.
You can see pictures of the "Mouth Shapes" below:
* as of version 1. 3+ the default mouth shape is number 5, as it fixes some eyelash clipping, that was affecting mouth 0 only previously. this will not in any way affect your gameplay, just the picture below will show different numbers. Default is 5, so you'll need to scroll back to 4,3,2,1 respectively to see the face shape change, and shape 0, and any above 5 will have a slight barely noticiable eyelash clipping.
Most of the pictures were taken with "mouth 3".
------------------------------
Since it uses a new headmesh, the vanilla headpats (helmets, hairs, circlets) will not fit her.
She has her own set of jewelry and earrings, that is craftable upon crafting the book:
