About this mod

I've replaced the faces of Serana, Valerica, and Harkon. Giving each of them my own flair, as well as the option to have custom armor made by either DeserterX or Fuse00.

Description:
To start off, as I stated before, I replaced the faces of the Volkihar family. This mod is completely standalone, yes, that includes the armor. During installation, or through one of the (smaller) optional files, you will be able to choose if you want custom armor made by the two wonderful people, DeserterX (Serana and Valerica's armor) or Fuse00 (Harkon's armor). On top of that you will be able to choose exactly who you want installed. While this may bloat the main file a bit, I like to give the option, as I have ran into issues in the past finding specific overhauls that I preferred over another. Although in my completely objective opinion, my overhaul is the best. I took some inspiration from their vanilla models, but for the most part I tried to make faces that I found attractive. They will use whatever body/skin mods you have installed, so their looks may vary, but I will provide my recommendations later.

I have included 3BA bodyslide files for both Serana and Valerica's armor, and added some options to further customize the armor if you don't like a specific option. Harkon's armor on the other hand does not have bodyslide files if you are playing a female and choose to strip his armor off his cold bloody corpse. I have left the option for a female to wear the armor, although I did not want to, but it is the only attainable set from any of these characters. Also due to the fact that Serana and Valerica have high heels, you will also need to install Racemenu High Heels.

Why does Serana have crossbow bolts if she's been locked away for hundreds of years? You ask. Well I liked the armor is the simple answer. The better answer is that I've included the option to remove them in her bodyslide. You're welcome.

Serana and Valerica are each given HDT hair, and should not run into any issues when entering anything that automatically removes all clothes. Because of this my mod will require SMP of some sort, so keep that in mind. Harkon's armor also requires SMP, if you choose to install it. Serana's hair also has bodyslide files so you can adjust the collision to your body type (CBBE/3BA only).

This should be completely compatible with SDA, as that mod does not actually edit any of the NPC records that I touched

Requirements:
FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP
RaceMenu High Heels (Height Fixes) (Only if you download the custom armor for Serana/Valerica)

Q&A:
Q: Is it compatible with SDA
A: Yes, as far as I have looked

Q: Can I use it with X texture?
A: Yes, they will use whatever body/skin textures you have. The caveat is that their armor is only in 3BA or CBBE, so you're stuck with that, which may additionally create neck seams as UNPB textures will not work with the "body" that is in the armor.

Q: Do I need to download the armors in your screenshots?
A: No, I have included the armors in my mod in an effort to have this be entirely standalone.

Q: Why is my SMP not working?
A: Honestly I can't help you with that, I've never had any issues with it. My best advice is check you have the proper version of FSMP, SKSE, as well as make sure nothing is messing with XPMSSE. Otherwise it's on your end.

Q: Will you add [blank]?
A: Maybe. If I want to keep the customizability of the mod, I have 14 .esps I'm working with and it is extremely tedious to change things and test if they work, but who knows, I'm crazy for doing it in the first place.

Q: Can I use this with [any other NPC overhaul]?
A: You should be able to, so long as you load mine later in your load order, and let mine overwrite any files it needs to, which you will do because mine is better. Although I did run into a dark face bug with Modpocolypse NPCs, so maybe don't use that one, or do some testing on your own.

Highly Recommended Mods:
Pride of Valhalla - Super HD Skin Set for UNP-UNPB-7B-CBBE (This is what I use)
Xenius Character Enhancement Complete (If you want the same scar textures you're going to need this)
