Hi!
I was a bit tired of seeing flat-faced males with barely any detail on them - unless you used ten layers of makeup.
And when I’m tired of something, I usually fix it.
This mod adds high-quality male complexions for precise character customization, with 60 combinations.
It helps make characters more immersive, expressive, and definitely more unique.
No makeup. No tryharding. Just complexions.
3 Aging stages - detailed description
Spoiler:
Show
• Clean (no aging, no simulated nose AO) - this variant mainly includes eye AO and detailers. It’s a great choice for players who want to enhance their character’s face without adding any signs of aging or roughness, or who simply prefer a very soft look.
• Young - includes simulated nose AO, eye AO, and all the detailing. Best suited for characters aged around 20-35.
• Older - this version features subtle but visible wrinkles and clear signs of aging. I kept it toned down, because in my opinion, most aging complexions tend to be too strong and make different characters look too similar. Best suited for characters aged around 30–50.

5 Types of simulated eye AO - detailed description

• Default - suitable for all characters; just a simple option if you're going for a more “regular” or neutral look.
• Hunter - made with confident, striking young characters in mind. It adds a heavier effect, especially on the eyelids, creating a sharp, bold, and slightly sassy appearance.
• Tired - 3 stages of tiredness: from “I just woke up” to “Damn, I could use a break” to full-on “Where am I?” eyes. I love this one because it opens up so many possibilities: tired peasants, rough or completely broken warriors, overwhelmed thinkers, or just someone who’s had a long day… there are too many scenarios to name them all!

2 Types of details - detailed description

• Freckled - as the name suggests: subtle, natural freckles. Nothing overwhelming, softly blended into the skin to add charm without stealing the spotlight.
• Pimples - speaks for itself: light, realistic pimples. Scattered mostly around the cheeks, with a few on the forehead to avoid a “template” feel. Blends naturally into the face.
These are great for adding personality, flaws, or a lived-in feel to your characters - especially when you're tired of everyone looking airbrushed.

Simulated nose AO - detailed description

• Simulated nose AO is a matter of preference and point of view. To me, noses on HPH heads are very flat and almost blend into the face. In preview gifs, when switching from the version without AO to the younger or older version, you can see a big contrast change around the nose. This is intentional and works well in the game.
Notice the nostrils - they now have depth and are no longer too bright. The nose wings also have better shape and depth. The cheeks contrast better with the nose.
Overall, the face has more depth and detail, looking more natural, lively, and expressive, not plastic.

I highly recommend using this mod together with my other beauty mods, as they all work perfectly together and share the same aesthetic.

This mod doesn’t have any requirements on its own and will work just fine with the base game, but...
Because it touches race records, it would normally be incompatible with any race overhauls. I went through the trouble of patching the most popular ones and made four different versions of the mod, depending on which race overhaul you have installed - if any. Everything’s included in the FOMOD.
Full compatibility, yay!
Just make sure my mod loads after any race overhaul you’re using. Putting it last in your load order is the safest choice.
