About this mod

A vanilla visual overhaul of 44 male citizens in Whiterun Hold.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Continuing on my project to make Skyrim men more beautiful using vanilla assets, this time covers all 44 citizens in Whiterun Hold (Whiterun, Riverwood and Rorikstead) according to UESP. This mod uses all vanilla assets so don't expect any high poly stuff. If you want your NPCs to look more beautiful while still looking vanilla, this mod is for you. I also incorporated NPCs' heights from Heights of Skyrim so now many of them have distinct height and I adjusted the weights of NPCs myself. You can combine this mod with other skin/asset retextures like Total Character Makeover (highly recommended) and SkySight Skins (haven't test it yet) to make them look better. This mod doesn't include elder characters like Vignar and Jouane and also no Hadvar and Ralof as they will be covered in the Civil War part. All my files are ESLified.

Whiterun NPCs included: Amren, Andurs, Anoriath, Avulstein, Balgruuf, Belethor, Bjorlam, Brenuin, Brill, Caius, Eimar, Elrindir, Eorlund, Farengar, Gloth, Heimskr, Hrongar, Idolaf, Jenssen, Jervar, Jon, Kodlak, Maurice (technically not citizen but UESP included him so why not), Mikael, Nazeem, Olfrid, Proventus, Sabjorn, Severio, Sigurd, Sinmir, Skjor, Skulvar, Ulfberth, Wilmuth
Riverwood NPCs included: Alvor, Embry, Hod, Lucan, Orgnar
Rorikstead NPCs included: Ennis, Lemkil, Miralki, Rorik

Farkas, Vilkas, Torvar and Athis are included in 
Vanilla Male Follower And Spouse Overhaul and Mallus is covered in Men of Guiles



Requirements
-Dawnguard
-Hearthfires
-Dragonborn
-USSEP




Installation: use MO2 or Vortex. Use LOOT afterwards.

Conflicts: Not compatible with other NPC replacers and any record that changes the NPCs. If the NPC have blackface, it means there are plugins that are overwriting my esp. Either make a patch using SSEEDIT or use LOOT to manually load my esp after the plugins. Face Discoloration Fix may help as well.

If you dislike any records I made with certain NPCs, delete the NPC records in the esp with SSEEDIT then delete the facegen data in /meshes and /textures associated with their baseID (e.g. with Belethor, his baseID is 00013BA1 so delete both 00013BA1.nif and 00013BA1.dds)



Patches
-Guards Armor Replacer by DanielUA
-Cloaks of Skyrim by Nazenn


Recommendations
-Total Character Makeover (makes NPCs look much better without losing the vanilla flavor. I adjusted the NPCs with this in mind. If you don't install this, the NPCs will still look better than vanilla but not as good as shown in photos)
-Tempered Skins for Males
-Heights of Skyrim
-Vanilla Hair - Salt and Wind
-Realistic Hair Colors
-FK's Diverse Racial Skeletons
