After approaching Zzyxzz about a feature for SkyPatcher to improve the delivery of my replacers, he improved upon the idea and basically created the best feature for NPC replacers I could possibly hope for. Before that, I was busy designing what I hope to be the best versions of my previous replacers. Bring those two things together and we have the Selects series of replacers.
So what is this new method of making NPC replacers and what other changes have I made to my replacers?
- Using SkyPatcher, I have basically created replacers that are compatible with ANY mod that alters NPCs (such as mods that add new voice lines and other things)
- The visual replacer does not touch the original NPC's record at all. When the game loads, it replaces the face and body without touching the NPC record
- The FOMOD installer allows you to pick which NPCs you want to install.
- There is only 1 ESPFE plugin no matter how many NPCs you install from this pack.
- No additional patches are needed to get these replacers working with mods such as AI Overhaul. Again, Selects NPC replacers are compatible with everything
- Using this replacer pack will result in zero black faces for the NPCs in this pack. Again, no records for those NPCs are touched, and in fact no face meshes or face textures of the original NPCs are overwritten by this mod. All meshes and textures come from my own path away from the originals.
- I have again redesigned some of the faces of these NPCs to suit my own preferences or faces I wasn't happy with before.
- There are additional optional addons for this mod such as the SMP Wig Pack and to put specific outfits on these NPCs (outfit mods required) using SkyPatcher
Note: There is no chance of this mod conflicting with any other NPC replacer that uses the old standard method of making them. If someone uses this method, however, the order of the SkyPatcher patch in alphabetical order will take preference. So far there aren't many authors using this method, but even if someone does, to clear conflicts it is as simple as removing the offending SkyPatcher patch (an .ini file) of the mod causing the conflict. Even with a conflict, another mod author using this method won't cause a black face - it will simply replace my own visual styles mentioned above.

6. Never worry about a black face or conflict with these NPC Replacers again!
A. Magic. Just kidding! This is all accomplished by the fantastic mod called SkyPatcher by Zzyxzz.
Q. What if another mod author releases the same NPCs in their own mod and they also use SkyPatcher?
A. This WILL cause a conflict. That said, not a black face or anything weird looking. Whatever author's ini file wins is determined by alphabetical order. If someone else's replacer wins, it will simply replace the visual appearance I have made with the other author's visual appearance for that NPC. This conflict is easily fixed by finding the offending ini file for the other mod and deleting it. If the other author did a no-no and put all the replaced NPCs in the same ini file, I would ask that mod author to separate their NPCs into individual ini files so users can fix it as easy as possible.
Furthermore, all ini files that change NPC appearance using SkyPatcher are found in SKSE\Plugins\SkyPatcher\npc. I tried to name my ini file patches to easily recognizable file names so you could make changes without difficulty. If you want to know more about SkyPatcher and what it can do, you should head over to its mod page and check out the articles tab.
Q. Will you make this into an all-in-one (AIO)?
A. Why? There is only 1 plugin in this mod for all these replacers. Everything is handled by the ini patch. All you need to run is the FOMOD one time, select all the NPCs and their body options and you are done.
Q. Can I use Aela's look and use SkyPatcher to apply it to a different NPC using SkyPatcher myself?
A. Sure, but don't publish any of your changes as a mod. Do what you like in your own game and have fun.
Q. Why do you keep making replacer mods when you have already done these characters before?
A. I'm a perfectionist. I keep doing it until I feel its perfect. Maybe this is the last time. Who knows. At least I'm still here doing it, which can't be said for every author.
Q. Why aren't these NPCs immersive? Why aren't some of them normal or ugly?
A. This is how I make NPC replacers. I actually love immersive NPC replacers that other people make, but I enjoy doing them this way. I use replacers from a lot of other mod authors in my game, but this is my own universe that I'm creating and I'll populate it how my own creativity tells me to. If these aren't your cup of tea, then I'm sure you will find many other replacers by other authors that you will enjoy.
Q. Will you add more Companions characters to this mod?
A. I might add males in the future after I do all the mods with the females first.
