UPDATE: This mod is now completely standalone! No more COTR or High Poly Head required.

If you enjoy this mod, please check out my Lucien and Serana replacers, too!




◈ Complete overhaul of all of the NPCs added with Kaidan 2.

◈ Eight hairstyles to choose from for Kaidan.

◈ Custom Kaidan body textures for SOS Full, SOS Light, or vanilla bodies. His scars will show up when fully nude. Seams between his hands, body textures, and neck should be fixed for both injured and uninjured states.

◈ New Kaidan Armor: Choose between Kaidan's vanilla armor or Evil Mastermind armor. See pictures for reference.

◈ Optional Kiai Horse Replacer with new meshes and textures.

◈ New Object Models: Female Blooded Dawn Robes, Kaidan's Bow, Rosalind's Athame and Staff, the Relic Sword, Targe Shield, Shaman's Ring, Starlight Circlet*, and the Model Ship all utilize new models/textures.

◈ While the head meshes of the NPCs have been changed and are standalone, they use the body mods/textures installed by the player. The only exception to this is Rosalind. She will use any body mod replacer, but I have edited her scars with 4K Bijin Skin to fit CBBE or UNP bodies. Pick one or the other!

*NOTE: As a forewarning, whenever you drop the Starlight Circlet into the world, the mesh glitches and stretches out, which can be annoying. However, this occurred with the original mod, KDCirclets, and I have not been able to find a fix for it. Wearing it and having it in your inventory is fine, so as long as you don't drop it into the world you're all set.






◈ Schlongs of Skyrim/HIMBO - Greatly encouraged for those more intimate moments with Kaidan. His body textures were made with these mods in mind. Visual seams or glitches may be present without SOS.

◈ CBBE/UNP - Rosalind's body textures were made with either mod in mind. Visual seams or glitches may be prevalent without having one or the other installed.

◈ Bijin Skin/Tempered Skin for Males - Cyrelian, Tarben, and Myriah will use the head and body textures installed by the player. If you want to match my screenshots, use these two skin mods.





 
◈ This is the ideal load order for your modlist when using this mod and its optional files:

 1. Schlongs of Skyrim
 2. HIMBO - Core + Refits
 3. Kaidan 2
 4.
Kaidan 2 Extended Edition Addon
 5. Kaidan 2 Immersive Features Mod
 6. Kaidan NPC Overhaul [Overwrite If Asked]
 7. Kaidan NPC Overhaul - SOS Light.esp [Overwrite If Asked]
 8. Kaidan NPC Overhaul - NPCs.esp
 9. Kaidan NPC Overhaul - NPCs - SOS Light.esp [Overwrite If Asked]
10. Kaidan NPC Overhaul - Kiai Replacer.esp
11. Kaidan NPC Overhaul - Items.esp
12. Kaidan NPC Overhaul - Evil Mastermind Armor.esp
13. Kaidan NPC Overhaul - Blooded Dawn Robes.esp






◈ As a general rule, any mods that alter the NPC head meshes (.nifs) will not be compatible with this mod. This means that you can only use one NPC replacer at a time.







◈ Major credit goes to livtempleton for creating Kaidan in the first place. This is an amazing mod that I don't think I could ever play without.

◈ Moreover, the main inspiration for using the Evil Mastermind Armor as a replacer comes from PoeticAnt44's mod found here.

◈ This mod wouldn't be possible without the hard work of these amazing mod authors and their creations!

◈ And special thanks to MaiaraZephyr for contacting me about their OC, Rennare. Without their generosity, I would not have been able to make him look just like how his creator had pictured.
