About this mod
Adds realistic skin details to over 200 NPCs to create a more diverse, realistic look to Skyrim's people.
- Permissions and credits
This mod builds upon the HD face tints from the awesome mod Simply Original and Unadulterated People - S.O.U.P. which I highly recommend you check out.
This mod also utilizes resources from the incredible mod Lamenthia's Marks of Beauty. This mod is highly recommended so that you can add more detail to your own character's face and fit in better with the NPCs.
Screenshots were taken with BnP Skin by swefrida with an option that gives the characters very pristine, relatively unblemished skin. So when you look at the screenshots, you won't be confused by what is caused by my mod vs what is caused by the skin texture. I also included screenshots using the vanilla skin texture.
This mod affects more than 200 NPCs so far. It touches NPCs from all over Skyrim to ensure that there is not one area with more detailed looking NPCs than another. I plan on building this up over time, so if you're interested, you can track my mod to get updates. Right now I mostly focused on humans from the original base game, with a few elves thrown in there. Next I want to focus more on elves and the DLC NPCs.
Requirements:
Nothing! This mod works by itself.
Compatibility notice:
In most cases, you should let your NPC overhauls' Face Tint files overwrite these. While you can use the Face Tint from this mod on overhauled NPCs, you need to know what you're doing. If the overhaul changes the NPC's skin tone, you will have a mismatched head and body.
This mod should work with any overhaul that keeps vanilla skin tones in tact, such as Nordic Faces or Cathedral. In fact if you want an esp-less solution, you can use Nordic faces for the meshes and overwrite the face tints with those from this mod.
In the worst case scenario, if you see any NPC whose body and head don't match due to an overhaul you're using, you can just delete that NPC's face tint from this mod's files. My mod is just texture files, so you don't have to worry about removing them breaking your game.
Please understand that I made this mod for myself and I don't even expect many people to use it. So if you see an NPC whose skin details you don't like, please just delete the file instead of asking me to change it.

Credits:
Owlessa for Simply Original and Unadulterated People - S.O.U.P. whose face tint exports I built upon in my mod.
Lamenthia for Lamenthia's Marks of Beauty.
I used Octagon by saiska to ensure the textures were saved in BC7 format and had mipmaps.
The S.O.U.P face tints, which I built upon, utilized these textures and tools:
Kartoffels for SSEUT - Actors
DomainWolf for Vanilla Warpaints Absolution and Vanilla Makeup HD
Artsick for Eyes AO Clipping Fix
saiska for Octagon
Some mods I used in the pictures:
S.O.U.P.
Community Shaders
BnP Skin and Teeth
Superior Lore Friendly Hair
Skyland AIO
and a lot of other mods, so if you're wondering just ask and I'll try to figure it out!
