About this mod
My own HPH interpretation of these notorious lads and lasses with custom assets. ESPFE Plugin.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Initially I was just going to replace Cicero as he was my other favorite vanilla follower after Illia, but after some consideration I thought why not the whole cast? Here you have what is weeks worth of work and consideration for each member of the Dark Brotherhood and how I think a more realistic version of them would look. I've given some of them custom textures and assets to help really elevate their personality and appearances. And I totally didn't play favorites when taking those screenshots, no siree!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them, I am especially proud of how Cicero came out! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Feel free to upload your own screenshots, I'd love to see how they'll look in other setups and if you enjoy it feel free to leave a kind comment and endorse. Thank you for downloading!

Technical things
- Did not include a USSEP patch since there are so many versions people use nowadays and I don't know which ones to support. I suggest patching for the USSEP version you use for your version of Skyrim. Regardless nothing broke during my testing without one, only AI package edits would have to be forwarded.
- Changed Ciceros height from 1.0 to 0.9, I love a short king. Why'd you make him taller beth!?
-Edited outfit data directly therefore you would have to patch for mods that also edit their outfits. SPID should work fine AFAIK. I did not touch some of the actual outfit records though in case any other mods reference them. The only one I did directly touch however was Astrids "DBOutfitNoHood" due to a script being attached to it. I was not willing to edit that script and potentially break mods that reference it.
For non-directly touched records, I created new outfit records that are "MDs_-" and made them use that outfit set instead. For example if for some reason someone needs to use the "DBJesterOutfit" or "DBRedguardOutfit" they can use it without Ciceros earrings/hat with hair mesh showing up or Nazirs earring appearing on the NPC with this mod installed.
-Because Cicero now has a unique hat mesh, I added his vanilla version to his inventory. Dirty I know but it's the only way to safely guarantee that those who kill him still get to have the original hat since people actually wear it I guess. His unique hat with hair is marked unplayable. Unless there is a better way, it stays there.
-Did not remove Gabriellas hood since I think she looks pretty wicked with it and that's neat. Also really like Nazirs hood so that stayed too.

FAQ:
Outfit?
The retextures they are wearing in my screenshots is Rustic Armor and Weapons, and Cicero is using Rustic Clothing. Highly recommend either these textures or more vanilla respecting ones as I designed their items around these color schemes.
ENB?
An earlier Discord version of Cabbage ENB/LUX
Texture Specs?
Default
"- Body, hands, head are in 4K. Genitals are 2K, where applicable. - Tint masks (makeup & dirt masks) are compressed (DXT1) in 2K resolution."
Their tintmasks have been exported in 4k resolution(where applicable since some overlays come in lower resolution) as well since I prefer my NPCs to be high res :)
If you want lower resolution, I suggest you fire up Cathedral Assets Optimizer and unpack the BSA, lower your textures, and then repack. When repacking, make sure the BSA keeps the same name otherwise my assets won't show in game.
FOMOD?
No.
Help! I have the dark face bug!
This plugin was made with the newest version of the Creation Kit, if you're
running an older version of the game I highly recommend installing BEES.
Can you make a version without the skin?
No, I want them to look exactly as they do in my game and Nifskope meshes. NO other skins are allowed. Yes, I know BnP is based on Khisartins Alt skins. No need to remind me :)
Can you remove the outfit edits?
No, part of the fun for me when making these is sprucing up their outfits and adding personality through little details. I love when NPC authors include custom assets, this was done from my love and inspiration from such mods.
Babbette/Veezara?
Hell nah! Use Children of the North, highly recommend. As for Veezara, highly recommend Children of the Hist, it's excellent and lore friendly, trust me, the Veezara I make will look nowhere near as amazing(and for the love of gods PLEASE be nice to her, she deserves better).
Initiates?
They're so bland and generic I have zero interest in doing them. Sorry, just don't care for them and can't muster the motivation to overhaul them. Never use them as followers, especially when Cicero is right there 
...
Maybe I'll update in the future if I ever do have a change of heart but as of now, no.
Can you do a replacer for female Cicero too!?
Can you make it a standalone follower/replacer for a different NPC?
Absolutely not. I made this preset specifically with these characters in mind and ONLY these characters! I will NOT use ANY of these for another NPC.
Presets?
No. Please respect this, I will not upload it no matter how much you beg.
ASTRID NO MAKE PP HARD!!!! HOW DARE YOU RUIN PORN GAME!!!
Download something else, do you seriously think the leader of a group of assassins would have porcelain smooth skin? I made her with the idea that she's been in her fair share of scraps throughout her career or has gone through some hard times before finally being able to live a more comfortable life. I like to make my NPCs with their writing in mind and this is such a case. Since Gabriella is a mage I imagine she has an easier time avoiding close quarter combat. No I won't remove her nor Gabriella in xedit, do that yourself.
Can you make the face 100% symmetrical? Their eyes are kind of uneven and-
NO. Not only is it a standard mesh issue with HPH, but no one in real life
has a perfectly symmetrical face, this is the biggest thing to notice if
you're aiming for realism. ABSOLUTELY no one's face is perfectly
symmetrical and if you think this touch grass.
Could you remove this or add that-
No.
Pretty pleeeasse???? If you do I'll download and endorse!
NO.
They're ugly or nose is too big and jaws and chins needs to be thinner, I
prefer less realism or I think Cicero should be a twink like-
