NOTE:
This replacer uses your installed body & face texture, along with your installed body shape.

BHUNP users:
A BHUNP version with standalone skin and body textures and meshes has been included because that is what I am using.

CBBE users:
If you are using CBBE, just use the "user body" version.
If you want to match the look in the screenshots, download and install Tempered Skin for Males and Bijin Skin (links in the credits).


Please direct requests to the comment section, but read the F.A.Q first.

Q: I have encountered a bug.
A: All bugs are to go into the BUG SECTION. State all the replacer mods you are using that affect these NPCs.
If it's a visual bug, post a screenshot so I can do better guesswork. If you post a bug in the comment section, I will assume you did not read the F.A.Q. Don't expect me to read what you type if you don't read what I type.


Q: I want a no-sweat version / nude males / less muscles / less hair etc. version...
A: Requests are on a case-by-case basis.

Q: The face is messed up.
A: Disable all your vanilla hair replacers; they conflict with all NPC / follower mods with custom head sculpts.

Q: Neck seam / hand seam / body seam etc
A: My mod installation files must be paired with my plugin file. If you mix and match with other replacers, put my plugin as low as possible in your load order and make sure my files overwrite all other replacers to ensure you get the appearance in my screenshots.

The replacers use the NPCs' vanilla weights. If you have a neck seam, it's because you used another replacer that changed the NPC's weight and it got stuck into your save file. Check the image section for the default weight of the NPC, then select the NPC in your console, use "setnpcweight xx" to set the weight correctly, "disable" and then "enable". The NPC should disappear and reappear with the correct weight and no neck seam. Save the game.

Q: I only want 1 replacer out of the 6...
A: Use SSEedit to delete the NPC forms of this plugin, and delete the head mesh and facetint file in my mod's facegeom and facetint folder. If that sounds like rocket science to you, try reading my guide. If you're completely hopeless in this department, you may ask in the comment section nicely and I'll see what I can do.


Q: What about the rest of the Companions?
A: I don't do dead people and extremely old people (sounds wrong), but again, you can request if you really want it.

  • If you plan to install both Tempered Skin for Males and Bijin Skin, try to make sure Bijin Skin overwrites Tempered Skin. Reason being the "blankdetailmap.dds" for Bijin Skin is needed to prevent neck seams for females, while Tempered Skin is not affected as much.
  • All versions of all my mods are extensively tested on new games with no other mods. I will assist in troubleshooting your problems as and when I can, but 99% of the troubleshooting I've done so far for my mod releases have not been related to my mod.
  • Aela's a Hircine-worshipping huntress of the night who enjoys ripping enemies in half and eating their hearts without blinking. My sincerest apologies to those expecting a "glamazon" or Victoria's Secret model for her face replacer.
  • I did not want to do Athis and Torvar (I've never brought them along on my runs), but I did it for completion's sake. All of the Companions who are eligible followers are now covered in this overhaul.
  • I made Ria slightly more attractive because she seems nice in-game. At least she's the least rude of the Companions outside of the Circle.
  • Do me a favour and punch Njada in the face a few times. Upload your screenshots of it so we can share some mutual pleasure.
