Men of Solitude


Finally, I have finished my next installment of Male NPC's. It's a journey to beautify the world of Skyrim with handsome man-meat. Men of Solitude.   Now, before you get on me, Belrand looks nothing like himself.  Sorry... not sorry.  He was one of the worst... never mind.  He's adorable now, so...  I have also created a few from the Thalmor Embassy as well as the Emperor.  I had to rebuild my mods, so I have not been able to get to them.  They are quest dependent and can't bring them to me instead.  So, if you find they aren't working, let me know.

Note:  There are a few images where the NPCs are wearing earrings.  That was a mod I forgot to remove beforehand.  Before you ask, no there are no earrings attached to this mod or armor or clothing.

I have created a video that showcases all the men I updated and provided it below  (See below after my tedious instructions).  If you want to know who is who, just check out the image section.




Please endorse if you love this mod.  It keeps me motivated to create more.



Please read thoroughly before downloading
Seriously... DO IT

1. APPEARANCES:  There are NO skin textures attached to this mod.  That means you will have to suffer atrocious vanilla skin textures if you download.  The good news is, it will accept any skin mod you wish to use.  Please be aware that your NPCs will look a bit different than mine using different skin textures.  I also use Silent Horizons ENB and Cathedral Weathers, so images may look different from mine.

2.  ANIMATIONS:  I am using High Poly Head Version 4 and it requires Expressive Facegen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animation Male.  High Poly Head is baked into the mod, but not the animations.  With that said, some have used this mod without them with no problems.  If you find beard clipping or weird eyes, install these mods.  If not, you should be fine.

3.  EDITING:  Please do not ask me to change appearances or remove tattoos, or ask me to remove NPCs.  I won't do it and you can't make me.  Please... just stop asking.  Thank you!

4.  LOAD ORDER:  These do NOT work with other NPC mods that change the appearance of the men of the Solitude.  NPCs should go down towards the end of your load order.

5.  REQUIREMENTS:  You will need to have USSEEP downloaded.  Seriously, everyone should have this by now.  It just makes my life a heck of a lot simpler that I don't have to do patches and extra files.

6.  All the men in the images use Tempered Skins with SOS Light, KS Hairdos, Apachii Skyhair, and HC Hairdos.



Mods to avoid:

Same NPC overhauls - blackface issues
Mods that change the body size - neck seam issues (floating heads)
Improved Eye Reflections (Oldrim) - cataract looking eyes
