Obtained new permissions for various assets (listed in the description page.)
Rebuilt "Diversity" from the ground-up, incorporating every lore-friendly hairstyle from KS Hairdos and Apachii.
Added improved facial structures and skin textures
Version 2.6
Fixed the gray-face bugs from the most recent USSEP update.
Updated in accordance with the most recent Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch and Cutting Room Floor.
Better conpression, slightly smaller file size.
Version 2.5
Between 2.4 and 2.5, changed over 50 hairstyles and faces to be more lore-friendly. Fixed some textures, and added a no-Cutting Room Floor version of each mod.
Version 2.3
Added Cutting Room Floor as Diversity's master. No other changes, other than creating a version with both Khajiit/Argonian feet and one without.
Version 2.2
Same changes as 2.1, without the claws and paws. Those meshes caused compatibility issues for folks using armor mods.
Version 2.1
Obtained permission from artifex0, the author of digitigrade Khajiits and Argonian Raptor Feet to include his meshes into my mod. Paws and Claws for all! Rawr.
Cleaned out unnecessary facegendata from bsa.
Improved beard texture.
Version 2.0
Upon several developments, this mod went straight to version 2.0. Now includes face and body textures, new tintmasks, a handcrafted body replacer, and expanded character diversity.
Still to come: armor re-meshes to fit the new body (which is vanilla inspired)
Version 1.61c
More Black face fixes, additional NPC tweaks, and formated into a COMPRESSED BSA. USSEP Required.
Version 1.6
More Black face fixes, additional NPC tweaks, and formated into a BSA uncompressed. USSEP Required.
Version 1.5
Incorporated KS Hairdos, True Brows, and True Eyes into the mod, enhancing diversity even further. Cleaned up the bugs and reduced file size. Big thanks to those mod authors!
Big thanks to JimtownIrish and Kalilies!
NOTE: There is now a USSEP version and a USSEP-free version. But I may eliminate this in the long run. USSEP really is good, and I shouldn't need to do this.
Version 1.4
Fixed the errors in USSEP edition, resolving conflicts and blackface bugs. Runs smoother as well.
Version 1.3
Major update: made USSEP a master plugin.
Version 1.2
Made additional edits to characters who had hair that was too stylish/anime. Removed the "worst offenders," improving immersion.
Version 1.1
Same mod, cleaned with SSE Edit. Should be clean as a whistle!
Version 1.0
Original mod upload.
Bethesda broke new ground with TESV. Not only did they write well-developed characters, but included a great variety of them. But the sands of time have withered their once decent complexions. These low-poly remnants of a bygone era look awful by modern standards. SSE deserves better.
If you want attractive faces that steer clear of flashy anime looks, this mod is for you.
2 versions: "Diversity - A Character Overhaul" and "Diversity - Vanilla Hair Edition"
Improved facial Structures -All DLCs covered-
Lore-based changes to character's ages
Race, class, and personality-based hairstyles
Selective implementation of ApachiiSkyHair and KS Hairdos
Improved vanilla hair meshes
Refined Skin Textures, makeup, and warpaint
Vanilla Hair Edition Available, heavily inspired by WICO
STEP 1: Install my mod via Vortex (or manually). Load Diversity's assets last. STEP 2: Check your load order. If using LOOT, it will NOT yet recognize my mod. Go to your plugins. Find "Diversity - A Character Overhaul.esp" and drag it to the bottom.
STEP 3: Enjoy!
Diversity is a STANDALONE mod, including new meshes and textures. If using others, uninstall or allow Diversity to overwrite everything. It is highly recommended that you uninstall all other hair and face mods. This mod is NOT compatible with other overhauls that change FaceGenData.
