Like it says above, this is a mod that changes Bandits, Forsworn, Reavers, Stormcloaks, Thalmor, Warlocks, and Vigilants of Stendarr into dudes. NOTE NO OTHER FEMALE NPCS ARE TOUCHED, ONLY THE ONES LISTED.
Each of these listed factions has his own module, so if you want some to remain as female you may pick and choose.
Other than that, this mod is 100% cosmetic only. No other changes have been made to stats, locations, placement, etc.
[UPDATE 1/22/2024] - Part 2 of this mod coming soon! I just have to finish the drawings for the thumbnails! Thank you for your patience :3

Q&A
Q - Why did you make this mod?
Killing women in video games makes me uncomfortable - also banditry and vagrancy doesn't sound like a life choice women would make IRL.
Q - Wait, so you made a mod that REMOVES women from the game? You must HATE WOMEN!
Tommyleejonesnewspapermeme.jpeg ... seriously, don't be this person.
Q - How many characters are affected?
There are like 350 + custom faces, each one I made from scratch. So Skyrim will have a lot of variety now! For instance, Bandits are from all walks of life, Necromancers favor white skull face paint and blanked out eyes, Pyromancers may have a lot of red hair, etc. I tried to match the model to what they do, which makes for some really interesting cosmetic changes you may find later in the game. SPOILER IF YOU WANT TO KNOW NOW AND NOT LATER: for instance, one of the master conjurers speaks like a dremora. Again, stats are not changed, this is purely cosmetic but I felt like a conjurer becoming possessed by a daedra would be cool. So i threw that in. This is the most substantial change, everything else remains the same.
Q - Wait a minute ... there are still CHICKS you fraud!
Some npcs are still female, such as vampires and wandering NPCs. The latter I ... simply forgot about. The former I wanted to change but then I realized: if all the men are out and the women are at home, who are the vampires most likely to feed on and transform?
Q - Does this break anything?
Some conversations are broken. Ralof in Helgen will just stare at the black haired dude, just bump into him and dialogue will continue as usual. Another is that valtheim towers bandit who you must bribe to cross. Dont worry, it doesn't lock the game it takes a couple seconds. Also, the two vigilants chasing a vampire (since they are now men) will not comment with that "good job dude!" bit of dialogue.
Q - Hold on, what about ...
Anska, The Caller, and the Bandit Woman Chief at mistwatch are all still women. I had to make custom models for all three, but I tested all three missions and they should remain unaffected by this mod.
Q - I found something!
Sorry, then I missed it. :| My bad.
Feel free to use and port this mod anywhere you wish. After I finish uploading the rest of these mods I am basically retiring from Skyrim and never going to log in to this account again.
Have fun! :)
