About this mod
I carefully re-textured ALL eyes to look like those of a living person + fixed several incompatibilities and inconsistencies present in the original textures! Adds 397 NEW color options closely resembling Bethesda's original style!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
After months of setbacks I have finally done it! Eyes that look truly alive and catch the light naturally!
I liked Bethesda's work so I stayed true to the originals but made enough changes so that ALL the Diffuse, Subsurface, Environment Masks and Normal Maps work together seamlessly to create the effect of eyes that actually look back at you.
Be sure to track this mod! I will be improving and addressing issues, adding new colors as well as working to make custom patches tailored to fit your all favorite eye mods! NO MORE DEAD STARES!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will Living Eyes Replace existing textures?
A: Yes, it was intended as a full overhaul Skyrim's NPCs
Q: Does this work with LogRaam's Eyes of Beauty or other eye mods?
A: Technically yes, but what makes my mod work are my Normal Maps, Environment Maps and Subsurface Textures. Without them used together and at the same time being perfectly aligned with the Diffuse Textures provided by other mods the Living Eyes effect is lost.
Q: What does the ESP file do and Why do I need it?
A: The ESP file is what makes the Expansion possible, without it installed the additional options will not appear in game. that being said you will still need the Texture folder provided in your Data folder for the mod to work.
Q: What do the replacer options do exactly?
A: The replacer options are only the Texture folder in your the Data folder, they will overwrite Bethesda's work without the need for an ESP file.
Q: Why has your mod's description updated a bazillion times?
A: I don't actually know how to use Mod Details page so bear with me please!
Q: What is taking so long?
A: I will not settle for less than perfect!
