About this mod
I always have hated the skeleton model by UserExists and have been annoyed by the large amount of mods that use it. This little add-on aims to replace the model with a vanilla styled skeleton.

I always have hated the skeleton model by UserExists and have been annoyed by the large amount of mods that use it. This little add-on aims to replace the model with a vanilla styled skeleton for Venombyte's Lichcraft mod.
You'll obviously need this mod because this replacer is for it.
Lichcraft 2 By Venombyte
What this File Contains
Because I couldn't be bothered with removing the other stuff, it contains an entire reissue of the Lichcraft mod's model directory, but with the skeleton body meshes replaced with Vanilla styled body parts, plus two more body parts which had to be added to complete the vanilla skeleton. I have also included a plugin that adds these two body parts into the CS data. It should be used alongside the standard Lichcraft plugin(s).
Mod Recommendations
Bags O Bones by Fallen One
Why am I recommending this race mod? Well it's not exactly for the race mod itself (though that's pretty cool too) but for the Lich Robes add-on that comes with it. The add-on adds Lich robes like the ones liches wear in Tribunal. if you intend to use the Lich Robes mod, you should use the Lichcraft2_alt.esp. Note that changing the ESP on a save file already running one of the ESP's will not change how your Lich works (at least when I tried it) so if you're using the regular version, you won't be able to equip the robe in Lich Form.
Darknut's hi res creature textures
The skeleton model and the Lich Robes both use vanilla textures so I recommend using Darknuts' texture replacers for the skeleton and Lich Robe for the best results.

Pimp out dat Lich with my collection of differently colored robes, eye jewels, and crowns. You can even dress up as Tamriel Rebuilt's Greater Lich!
Other Requirements
Obviously you'll need Tribunal and possibly Bloodmoon (can't remember if I made bloodmoon a requirement or not because I actually made this add-on ages ago for personal use.)
Known issues
-Because of how the body parts work with this, they may disappear when certain articles of clothing are put on. I'm sorry about this and will try and address the issue in the future.
-The Lich Robe will have some minor clipping issues. nothing too serious, it's mostly around the pelvic area and is caused by the robe being equipped as a shirt rather than a robe. (don't ask me why Fallen One did this, I honestly don't know.)
-The Lich Robes add-on won't work properly with the standard Lichcraft plugin because it will force unequip it every time. instead, use the Alt version of the ESP.
-The Lich Crowns don't exactly fit over the skull quite right. I'm going to hopefully also address this issue in the future.
-Better bodies clothing and armor won't exactly work quite right. Thankfully, it's only in the leg area, and if you're using Tamriel Rebuilt or some other mods, you'll have a lot more options for your skeleton, despite better bodies since these mods use standard body type clothing and armor. Robes should work fine however.
If you have any problems installing this mod, let me know in the comments. Also, if you would like to contribute any screenshots (still need a comparison shot of both skeletons side by side) feel free.
Possible Future Additions
-Fix Lichcraft's crown models so they fit on the skull of the vanilla skeleton skull mesh and include them in these files
-Fix the neck vertebrae so it doesn't disappear when a piece of headwear or a shirt is worn.
-figure out how to solve the clipping issue on the back of the head with open helmets.
Please if you like this mod and have used it, let me know what you think in the comments. I appreciate feedback and would like to know how I can improve this replacer to better suit player needs. Thank you.
