📋 About This Mod
Vanilla NPCs SSE Ruhmastered by Ruhadre
(Screens from Oldrim)
Description:
Overhauls 3,024 Vanilla Skyrim and DLC facegens to incorporate Ultimate Eye Meshes Ruhmastered, Eyes AO Clipping Fix, ENB Brow Fix, BVFE - Better Vampire Fangs and Eyes, Double Sided Vertex Human Mouth Fix, and Expressive Facial Animation
Also carries forward any changes made to facegens by Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
Optional Patch to make Argonian and Khajiit NPCs have a faint glow.
Optional Patches to give Vampire NPCs glow choices.
This does NOTHING for the player character or your vampire form, only NPCs. Go to Ultimate Eye Meshes page for eye meshes for player.
Makes Invisibility Eye Glitch obsolete with Ultimate Eye Meshes + Eyes AO Clipping Fix also installed. No extra script is needed if every facegen in the game is already immune.
v2. 1 - Deleted facegen 000b289e due to bug reports
v2. 0 - Brought eye fixes up to SUEMR 3. 0/Eyes AO Clipping Fix 1. 3. Incorporated new mouth meshes. Included BVFE fangs into main file.
v2. 0 - NEW Misc Files for EFA
Practical Usage:
The purpose of this mod is NOT to be an NPC Overhaul like WICO. But rather, think of it as a baseline improvement that you can install on top of.
For instance, say you want to use all the Bijin mods and SNNR together. Sure, alot of NPCs are replaced, but hardly all. This just fills in the gaps.
However, if you are using Expressive Facial Animation, then you NEED the MISC files here in order for NPCs to use EFA's tris effectively. All the bug reports point to one thing... NPCs with vanilla teeth in their facegens attempting to use the tris ment for a different mesh. Solution: Apply EFA teeth to all NPC facgens
If you want to use Expressive Facial Animation by Niroku, YOU MUST USE the MISC files.
Installation:
1.) Install Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch. You absolutely MUST have it installed. Seriously. No exceptions.
Next, Install the main file from here.
2.) If you want to use the optional Beast Race Glow file, install it after the main file here and allow it to overwrite.
3.) If you want to use one of the optional Vampire files, install it after the main file here and allow it to overwrite.
*If installing with BVFE: Allow these facegens to overwrite BVFE's.
4.) If you want to use the Misc Files for EFA, install the "Main" Misc

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge coverage: touches over 3,000 NPCs, so you get a consistent face overhaul across the whole game
- Community-approved with 1,626 endorsements and nearly 490k downloads — clearly a go-to for many players
- Bundles multiple popular fixes into one package, saving you from juggling separate mods
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2019 — might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other mods
- Requires other mods (SUEMR, etc.) to be installed separately, which adds setup complexity
For Skyrim players who want a comprehensive NPC face overhaul without manually combining multiple fix mods. If you're already using those individual mods, this might be redundant. Skip if you prefer gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle the file placement and avoid overwriting issues.
- Check the mod's posts section for any known compatibility patches with popular overhauls like USSEP or other face mods.
- Make sure to install the required mods (SUEMR, etc.) in the correct order as listed in the description.
