Description
This replacer was highly requested. I know there are already a lot of them, but I figured I would go ahead and toss mine out there too.
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
- ESPFE plugin to save your load order slots.
- 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 will result in zero black faces for the NPCs in this pack. Again, no records for the NPCs are touched, and in fact no face meshes or face textures of the original NPC are overwritten by this mod. All meshes and textures come from my own path away from the originals.
- The FOMOD allows you to choose Soft or Muscular body.
- The FOMOD allows you to choose the original SMP hair or my own choice of SMP Hair for my replacer.
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.
If you like this mod please consider endorsing it. Thank you!
About The Barcode Skin
The original mod has a special texture with lines and a barcode. For my own vision of this replacer, I didn't really want to do this. Technically it means I can't use my own skin unless I draw my own barcodes and lines on my skin, but for my own immersion I didn't feel she fit how I would want her in my own game with something like that on her skin. If that is a show stopper for you, then consider another replacer with my well wishes. Thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How are you doing this without an black faces or conflicts with other mods?
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 NPC 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. Can I use Ashe'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 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.
