Female-Head NIF Tweak 1.0 for female human races in Skyrim Vanilla and LE: A LOOSE FILE
This NIF is intended for those who want to replace the Skyrim vanilla femalehead.nif, which has asymmetrical eyes, with a new femalehead.nif with symmetrical eyes.
This NIF is a LOOSE FILE, to be downloaded by experienced Modders DIRECTLY TO PC Desktop.
Please do not install with your Mod Manager. Also, please do not drag the folder into your mod manager.
IF you want this NIF, you can manually replace the existing femalehead.nif in your extracted Skyrim Archives with this one.
REQUIREMENTS:
1) A Legitimate installation of Skyrim LE.
2) BAE, Bethesda Archive Extractor.
3) NifSkope.
PROCESS:
4) Make a back-up copy of Skyrim (LE), plus the DLC, if you like, in the unlikely case replacing a vanilla nif in your Skyrim archives
breaks your game. (Online tutorials at Steam, Nexus Forums, and elsewhere, explain how to make zipped/compressed backup copies
of your legitimate copy of Skyrim.) This single replacement femalehead.nif did not break our game, and we tested it on 3 PC's with only
Skyrim LE enabled, and with no other mods. On one PC, we're on save number 250 with this tweak, and the Skyrim human females
all now show symmetrical eyes, though perhaps unrealistically.
5) If you are considering owning and installing this femalehead.nif tweak, you know how to use Bethesda Archive Extractor, BAE.
You may need to use Nifskope, in case you need to open our femalehead.nif and revise the texture paths.
DOWNLOAD METHOD, NOT WITH YOUR MOD MANAGER, PLEASE. DOWNLOAD OUR FILE MANUALLY TO YOUR DESKTOP.
For WHY, and other issues, please see the expanded details.
WARNINGS!
This tweak is for experienced modders/Skyrim gamers comfortable using BAE, Bethesda Archive Extractor. It is also for
modders and gamers experienced with editing nif's in NifSkope. You will wish to check or revise the texture paths on our replacement
femalehead.nif to match those in your existing setup. You will also wish to make backups of your original femalehead.nif, in
case this replacement causes issues.
