About this mod
I\'ve tried making several High Elves, They\'ve always been hideous. Finally managed to get something I like so I figured I\'d share.

Her name is Al'viye. No one can pronounce it, and every mispronunciation is another blow to her fragile psyche. [feel free to rename her if you REALLY want to.]
I'm sharing this because making an attractive (by which I don't mean super model, or even... attractive... just something I enjoy seeing for one reason or another) Altmer is difficult and there are few around the nexus. I also made her very Un-Altmer-like, as part of her character, she's meant to be a bit of an oddball outcast in her home land, and as such very resentful of Altmer society (and high elves in general). Also just generally a little touched in the head, possibly due to the horrible facial disfigurement (she honestly thinks she's hiding it with that ridiculous hair, I know...) suffered as a child (possibly) at the hands (claws) of a particularly bloodthirsty group of swearing mudcrabs. Flesh was torn, feelings were hurt, and her estrangement from a dignified Altmer society was complete. Or so the story goes.
Other mods used in my pictures are as follows:
- Xenius Character Enhancement
- Beauty Faces for females
- Human eyes for Elves
Other Considerations:
The default Altmer height bothered me a little ways into the game so I scaled her down to 0.88 "player.setscale 0.88" (and bumped up her body weight by a few notches to compensate), if you want the optional pre-Helgen Imp/SC choice file, I suggest you make those changes when renaming her "showracemenu". Besides looking better in my opinion, the stunted growth kinda plays into the "runt" image I was going for.
