While I certainly like to stay "in lore" I do not consider it as a Bible but more as guidelines. After all, if one had to respect lore 100% - NO MODS - would be allowed, so if you like the vanilla look of Skyrim or things such as wrinkles for everybody, ugly textures or greasy hair (believe it or not in medieval times they DID have soap and oils to beautify hairs) this mod is NOT for you. Besides, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but Skyrim is NOT realistic, unless you account magic, dragons, undead and stuff as something that exists in the real world; it is instead a fantasy game in an exceptionally well realized fantasy environment and in THAT way I believe lore should be respected. Why am I telling you this? Because I received criticism for my mod not to be lore friendly based on the facetexture which I use that is NOT EVEN included in this mod (it is merely suggested).
