About this mod

The time has come for all your favorite ladies to be in one place.

Requirements
Permissions and credits

This mod is a LE backport of Shaysjhyar/Allison Wade's SSE mod with her permission . Description below is copied from original SE modpage.

An overhaul of some female NPCs that combines my previous replacers and other new entries.

This is intended as a lore-friendly and complete overhaul of the ladies, to improve their looks in a believable way, and make some minor adjustments and bug fixes for a better gaming experience.

Full list of NPCs, with their IDs and instructions on how to remove the unwanted ones, can be found in the Articles tab.
(Or just look at the pictures).

>> Requires MAW Asset version 1.1 or later <<

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

General info:
- All NPCs have a new, smooth, and polished high poly head 
- KS and HG hairdos included. If you already have KS hair installed get only the main FOMOD.
If you don't have KS hairdos, you need to download the optional file with the hair textures.
I didn't include it in the fomod to spare you from downloading another 100+ MB of data you don't need.
- FOMOD with alternate tintmasks for war paint and no war paint versions and a few alternate eyes and hairstyles.
- No body or skin included: they will use your default ones for max compatibility with your outfits.
- ESP flagged light
- Compatible with any version of Skyrim SE/AE

What's new?
I converted all my previous female replacers to high poly and tweaked them a bit more for the best final look.
I changed some hairstyles to better fit the character or resolve clipping issues.
I added new NPCs I hadn't done before, and probably will add more in the near future.
Some minor changes to the NPCs to fix vanilla bugs, some outfits/spells/perks, consistency with the USSEP (not required), leveled NPCs and factions:
- Housecarls are now flagged essential
- Removed the opposite gender animation because it looked weird on the female body (except orcs since it's baked into the race)
- Potential followers and spouses are flagged Protected (which means only you can kill them)
- Added follower or marriage factions where it made sense to me and the voice type allowed it
(You can now marry Adelaisa, Carlotta, Idgrod the Younger, Illdi, Illia, Eola, Jonna, Karita, Lisette, Lynly, Nyria, Olfina, Sapphire, Vivienne Onis - while Camilla, Dravynea, Lisette, Sapphire are also potential followers*)
- Followers and other NPCs that level with the player are now capped at 100 so they can still be useful later in the game
- Added the Light Foot perk to the followers so they won't step on traps like dumbasses
- Some more specific adjustments to some of the ladies based on info found on the wiki (on top of those already done in my previous mods): Illia is now a unique NPC and not just a template, Legate Rikke has now one face and doesn't change eye color during the Civil War; Thaena wears fine clothes as the wife of a Jarl should; Removed some hats/helmets so you can see the NPC's face (what's the point to make them pretty if you can't see them? LOL); added Alteration spells and perks to Dravynea since she's supposed to be a mage.

* The addition to the follower (and in some case marriage) faction doesn't make the NPCs automatically become followers (or marriageable), you'll have to get a relationship rank of at least 2 with them in order to get the dialogue to show up, this is not always the case with vanilla quests (or some NPCs might not have a quest), so you might need some mods that work with the NPCs favors and can raise your ranks like "Side quests of Skyrim".
(I might do a patch at some point to make this happen via a simple quest). Or open the console, click the NPC, and type setrelationshiprank player 2
Also this might not work with some NPCs that have weird AI packages so you might still need to force-recruit them with mods.

===============

Can you change this thing or this NPC face or hair or eye color etc.?
This is how I see the ladies, and my overhaul is meant to be as close as possible to their vanilla characteristics.
At the moment I don't have time for more customization, since everyone's vision is different and I can't make everyone happy. There are so many other wonderful female replacers out there that you just have to pick the ones you like best.
I might change some things along the way, but in general, the only updates will be to fix bugs and other visual problems.

Can you do single replacers of X, Y, or Z?
Not at the moment. I made this all in one first of all for convenience and avoid doing the same work twice.
If I'll do single replacers in the future, they will be alternate looks that are not as close to the original.

Can you add X,Y, Z NPCs?
I'm planning on adding more in the future, so if you have someone you'd like to see in the bunch let me know in the comments.

Can I haz Racemenu presets?
Yes, I already posted some of them, you just have to dig a bit in my mod list. Others will be posted in the future.
Let me know if you miss some of them.

Can you do a patch for X mod?
See below for compatibility info and already provided patches.
If it's something simple I might be able to do it, but I'm not that good with patches. 
Please don't ask me to do patches for mods outside of Nexus, especially if they are on paid websites.
Otherwise, permissions are open and anyone is free to make all the patches they want.

============

Compatibility, conflicts with other replacers, and how to solve them.
This mod is incompatible with other mods that change the same NPCs in some way, this includes not only visual replacers but also: NPC stats, class, spells, inventory, factions, AI packages. You might not even know but some mods that don't touch the face will still edit the NPC and so cause dark face bug if the load order is not correct.
Easiest way to solve is to load my mod as low as possible, it should be the last one and overwrite everything else.
Of course this will require patches.
Let me know if you have issues and I'll see what I can do, but I'm not as good at patching stuff so I can only do simple things.
I would suggest you use SPIDified mods instead or mods that add changes via scripts or quests to avoid conflicts.

If you're using other NPC replacers. Your options:
- Chose which one should win and place it last in your load order (if you use Vortex you might need to create a specific rule in the plugins section).
- Remove unwanted NPCs: open my plugin with SSEEdit, delete the NPC you don't need, then go to the facegeom and facetint folders and delete the corresponding files (the IDs and full instructions in the file linked above).
- Use a mod like Easy NPCs to pick and choose the ones you want.

If after all of the above you still notice some purple textures or neck seams let me know.
I kept the same weights as vanilla so you shouldn't have issues unless you used a previous replacer that changes the weight and causes a neck gap. (This requires to change the NPC weight back to vanilla, in case let me know and I'll give you the right numbers).
Also some characters might be naked in old saves due to the change of a few outfits. The easiest way to solve this is to open the console, click on the NPC and type "resetinventory" (without quotes).
Or you can use this mod: Save unbaker (this should solve all the issues above)

Tl;dr

- Dark face or bald NPC = fix your load order
- Purple hair or face = missing textures (if you already have the KS textures and the problem persists let me know)
- Neck gap = NPC weight doesn't match, unbake your save or set the vanilla npc weight via console (let me know I'll give you the right numbers)
- Neck seam or face color different from body = probably my mistake, let me know and I'll fix it
- NPC is naked: open console, click on NPC, type resetinventory

============

Compatible mods and patches:

Serana Dialogue Addon: compatible without patches
Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia: patch available in the optional files
AI Overhaul SSE: compatible only with the "lite" version (the one that doesn't edit the NPCs directly)
