Vanilla NPCs are a few edits away from being pretty attractive, so my philosophy is that I will simply do that. I use vanilla parts where possible, get rid of the ugliness and preserve the uniqueness of each character.

This is the first of many smaller modular character overhauls using the same philosophy.

Installation

Install into Vortex/MO2 like any other mod. High Poly Head is required for the high poly version. The low poly version has no requirements. Flagged as ESP-FE so it won’t take up a plugin slot.

Why the High Poly Head requirement? Back when I worked on my old mod Enhanced Men of Skyrim, I packed all the assets into my own mod. That was very tedious and made modding highly unenjoyable and I had to stop working on it.

I figure if I’m going to be sticking to vanilla parts anyway, I might as well make it smaller and redo some NPCs, so I can FINISH a set of NPCs and move on , and have a low poly version for people who don’t care about poly counts. With some good textures you won’t even notice. And if you are a high poly snob like me, you already have it installed.

Compatibility 

Compatible with all texture mods. 

Not compatible with any other NPC overhauls that touch these characters. I will not be providing patches as I don’t know what else you use. If you want to merge several NPC overhauls, I highly suggest the excellent tool EasyNPC.

I use this mod with Authentic Post-War Followers SE - Recruit Hadvar or Ralof. I have included a patch for this mod in the optional files.
