Once, there was nothing but formlessness. The land held no shape, the trees did not harden into timber and bark, and the Elves themselves shifted from form to form... As Y'ffre spun the story, the Elves took the form they have today."-from The Ooze: A Fable
The Bosmer are the most numerous and adaptive of the Mer. They are known for being nimble of foot and wit, and as well as for their sometimes sharp teeth and ritual cannibalism.
My goal with this mod was to make Bosmer as distinct as Dunmer and Altmer, drawing from features other games in the series give them.
You will see Bosmer NPCs with sharpened teeth, decorative antlers, star-shaped pupils, and generally more olive and freckled complexions.
As with the other mods of this series, I've added a variety of new skin tones, hair styles and other facial features, including teeth, brows, pigment variations, and eye colors. Like the other elves, they share more prominent ears and brow bones and tilted eyes with large irises. I've taken into account social status, age, lifestyle, etc. in my design choices as well.
All NPCs use a set of new, custom textures, assigned one of 4 different ones based on their age.
Requirement
- Children of Dawn's Beauty
- BEES (if using an older version of Skyrim)
About
ESPFE
Does not edit body meshes in any way.
Will NOT use your body textures: see the Children of Dawn's Beauty page for details.
No HDT-SMP hairs.
Made with Expressive Facegen Morphs, may not animate as intended without Expressive Facial Animations.
Not strictly compatible with mods that edit the same NPC records (appearance, skills, inventories, voice type, etc.) Whatever record is loaded last will show up in game. When in doubt, use xEdit to check and be aware of what any mods that work via SKSE/other script do.
Should work fine with EasyNPC if you want to use it. You may need to edit any mod that distributes antlers to all Wood Elves.
If you are having issues, make sure no other mods editing the same NPCs in ANY way are loaded under this one. Use SSE Edit to check for conflicts. I will not be providing support if you're using Face Discoloration Fix.
Load before any retexture mods of KS Hairdos.
For more questions, here's the FAQ.
If loading midgame, use Save Unbaker or you might have gaps between bodies and necks
Available Patches:
- AI Overhaul (version 1.8.7)
- USSEP (version 4.3.3)
- Ultimate College of Winterhold/ Immersive College of Winterhold
Additionally, there is a Skypatcher in the Optional files: you do not need any other patches with it, just Skypatcher and its requirements.
This mod is the first in a series of three mods covering the three Elven races (I have already covered Orsimer.)
Coming soon:
- Children of the First - An Altmer NPC Overhaul
- Children of the Ash - A Dunmer NPC Overhaul
- and fashion mods for all three
You can check out the progress of the project here; I am posting pictures of redesigns as I go.
