This mod improves the appearance of over 60 available spouses (including followers) in Skyrim and Hearthfires, as listed here.  It does not include Dawnguard nor Dragonborn npc's.  NPC weights were not changed to avoid neck gaps.  This will use whatever skin textures you are using.  A handful of NPCs use the over 40 skin texture, so use a skin texture that includes the older ages, as vanilla is horrid for anything over 20.  Removed hats and hoods from NPCs that were wearing them.  Some were mild tweaks, while many were complete overhauls.

In addition to vanilla marriage options, the following four NPCs have been overhauled and added to the marriage faction, which becomes available after completing their personal quest:  Erik the Slayer, Ahtar, Illia, and Aranea. If you add this to an existing game, the marriage option may not be available for one or more of these four npcs.  In that case, after completing their quest, target them in the console and type addfac 19809.

The included NPCs that are also followers have had their level cap increased to 80, no longer effect the stealth meter, and had the light foot perk added.

The following have been modified:

The Housecarls:  Argis, Calder, Gregor, Iona, Jordis, Lydia, Rayya, Valdimar
The Hirelings:  Belrand, Jenassa, Marcurio, Stenvar, Vorstag
The Companions:  Aela, Athis, Farkas, Njada, Ria, Vilkas, Torvar
Whiterun Area:  Camilla, Uthgerd, Ysolda, Erik the Slayer
Windhelm:  Aeri at Anga's Mill, Dravynea (Kynesgrove) Viola Giordano, Gilfre at Mixwater Mill, Angrenor, Quintus, Revyn Sadri, Roggi, Sondas (Darkwater)
Markarth:  Anwen, Muiri, Orla, Senna, Ainethach (Karthwasten), Cosnach, Moth, Omluag, Pavo, Ghorza, Odfel (has anyone in the history of Skyrim ever really married this guy?)
Morthal:  Benor
Riften:  Avrusa Sarethi, Mjoll, Sylgja, Temba Wide-Arm (Ivarstead), Balimund, Filnjar, Romlyn, Wilhelm (Ivarstead), Illia
Winterhold:  Brelyna, Onmund, Aranea
Solitude:  Octieve San, Sorex, Taarie, Ahtar
Orc Strongholds:  Borgakh, Ghorbash

If you have a mod you prefer that includes any of the above, just overwrite this file.

The USSEP version forwards all changes, including the sandbox packages they created that is much better than vanilla behavior.  The non-USSEP version forwards cleanup scripts and combat changes, but USSEP is not a requirement.  Since someone will inevitably ask, there's an eslified USSEP version.  It is untested; however, I'd imagine it should be fine.

Illia will now wear a hoodless black robe.  Highly recommend Lind's black robe revamp.  It's just textures so will work in Skyrim SE.
Aranea will now wear a hoodless monk robe.  Highly recommend Lind's Monk Robes revamp.  Temple of Dibella priestesses will wear this as well.
