--- no clothing is changed by this mod, only the NPC records and facegen ---

Every female NPC has been individually adjusted to have a unique look and this was done one by one in CK not via a script (yes I am that crazy).  Pair this with your favorite male NPC overhaul (I play with Skyfem so not likely to ever provide that).  For fellow Skyfem users, go to the Skyfem fixer version of NAO

The aim here was for beauty and variety.  To improve beauty and variety I went beyond vanilla assets to include:

- high poly head (all playable-race female NPCs get this)
- high poly versions of: vanilla eyebrows + Koralina's eyebrows + SG eyebrows
- eye textures from: vanilla + Kala's + my own custom ones (including some larger iris')
- KS hair
- makeup masks from: vanilla + Koralina's makeup tweaks
* with all the above assets I was able to create way more permutations of facial variety *

- use any vanilla eye replacer you wish (or use vanilla if you'd like).  many NPCs still have eyes pointing to vanilla texture sets
- many different hair colours are used.  bright/unatural colours are used very little and mostly on bandit mages, warlocks, etc
- Elder Race has been modified to allow regular nord textures - the attempts by bethesda and modders to create "old" skin is down right offensive and rather comical.  Elder race NPCs in the overhaul have been given nord "rough" texture along with their existing elder mesh (looser skin most obvious around the neck)
- Vampires have unnatural (usually bright) eyes using lots of Kala's vampire eyes.  There are still lots pointing to vanilla texture sets so still use your favorite vamp eye replacer
- no hard rule for sure (as variety is the point), but city folk are more likely to wear makeup where bandits are less so.  

this mod goes after every female NPC (even un-named like warlocks, bandits, guards, etc). you can just use this as a better base than vanilla to add your favorite NPC replacers, just ensure that both the esps (if any) and meshes of the replacers overwrite this mod


installation: just use your favorite mod manager
important for multiple NPC replacers:  if you want to use this mod as a base and add other replacers just make sure that the esp and facegen priorities match.  ie NAO esp loads before the replacer's esp and the replacer meshes overwrite NAOs.

manual installation is not recommended for mods with hundreds or thousands of facegen meshes or you'll have trouble knowing which to remove, what has overwritten what with multiple replacers etc.  

if you use a mod that changes a vanilla or DLC NPC record a patch would be required.  an example is Theives Guild for Good Guys gives the Mallus Maccius record new packages.  a patch is in the download section
