Welcome to my newest collection of select character replacers for Skyrim.  The designs here represent the best I have to offer in terms of lore-accurate, advanced character design, including the use of high resolution meshes & skin textures, the latest 2k-4k makeup and tattoo mods, SMP-enabled hairstyles, and out-of-the-box compatibility with other NPC replacement collections and expansion mods.  Utilizing Skypatcher, Vivante replacers are designed to install seamlessly into your load order with as few conflicts as technically possible, allowing you to individually customize the look of only the characters you wish with minimal patching.

Each design takes many hours to polish - not only by using standard Racemenu sliders, but though hand-sculpting each design in Outfit Studio to give a unique look that blends well with other character replacer collections, including Coldsun's Visions, Modpocalypse, Bijin and many, many others.  You'll find no low-poly potato-heads here.

Unlike The Taranis Collection 3, there is NO asset pack associated with these mods - they are stand-alone. This allows me the freedom to choose varying skin mods ala carte to mix-n-match assets and get the character vision realized without requiring you to download and continually update a massive asset pack.

As in the past, this collection will grow over time.  Track the page for updates!

I hope you enjoy these visual replacers in your game as much as I enjoy creating them.

Installation:

  • Install the latest version of SkyPatcher for your game (AE or SE) as well as the latest versions of it's requirements.  IMPORTANT!
  • Install the latest version of FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP and ensure it functions properly.
  • Install the replacer(s) of your choice and select you preferred body type in the FOMOD.  CBBE/3BA & UNP/BHUNP are supported.
  • Place mod files and .esp appropriately in your load order.
  • Play the game!

FAQ:

   Q:  Can I have these as a preset or as a standalone follower?
    A:   Sorry, my designs are exclusive to the characters I create them for.

   Q:  Is there an outfit list from the screenshots?
    A:   I'll create a list of outfits used in due time and sticky a post in the comments.

   Q:  Will you make non-Skypatcher versions?
    A:   This collection is committed to utilizing Skypatcher for compatibility.  Vivante mods have been successfully tested on Skypatcher 5.0.3.

   Q:  Will you make an All-in-One (AIO) download?
    A:   I may create an AIO when I feel this collection is complete.

   Q:  Can I add/swap your replacers mid-save?
    A:   Yes. Skypatcher allows Vivante mods to overwrite any other non-Skypatcher NPC replacer mod and it's safe to do so mid-game as I'm only touching visual appearance (face & body) records and nothing more.  Note:  If you're using another Skypatcher replacer mod that affects the same NPC(s), make sure you either hide or rename the NPC face & body .ini files from the replacer mod you want to override.

   Q:  The character replacer is bald in my game. Why?
    A:   If you're using Racial Skin Variance (RSV) in your mod list (e.g. Nolvus v6), you may need a patch. See the RSV mod page for patch instructions.  No support will be provided for Nolvus v6 at this time.
