This mod overhauls a total of 29 NPCs within the Volkihar Castle and Fort Dawnguard Factions with an emphasis on detailed realistic faces.
Dawnguard DLC NPCs outside of these factions and Radiant NPCs will be added to this mod over time, but they are just. so. many. But if you can't wait, BB's Dawnguard covers many of the extra NPCs in the DLC. You can load it first, then this mod, to get the most NPCs covered.

This mod is a WIP. There are more NPCs to add.

Serana is NOT in included in this mod. There is a standalone mod for her here which gives extra customization.
If you are updating from BB's Dawnguard, please read the note under "Install Instructions". This is very important info. Don't miss it!

There are no requirements for this mod - everything you need is in the installer.
There are some options in the FOMOD/download page for you to get this working properly with your set up.

• choose whether to use all NPCs, just Volkihar or Dawnguard, or just males or just females.
• compatibility for vanilla bodies, CBBE and UNP bodies
• compatibility options for RBT users
• for advanced users: replaceable vampire eyes (manual download, instructions in the main mod folder)

Everyone is welcome over on my Patreon and not all of my content is hidden by tiers, like early version of upcoming mods. ANY support is amazing. Sub for a month, or longer, or not at all - I understand that donating isn't for everyone (I myself live the broke student life), so other ways you can support me is downloading and talking about my mods, patching, translating, taking cool screenshots and sharing them here on Nexus or over on R/skyrimmods, etcetera ❤




INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

If you are downloading mid-save, please back up your save file before installing. 

Recommendation: This mod looks best with a skin texture mod. Vanilla skins don't look good.
My recommendation will always be BnP Female Skin and BnP Male Skin since NITHI series is built to work best with it.
If you PC is a potato, try the 2K textures or downscale them to 1K if you need to, using something like CAO.

• Download the FOMOD installer.
• Choose your install type and patches. 
• Check the plugins is loading late. You may have to do this manually with vortex.
• Play!
  
  

NOTE: BB's Dawnguard Users:
If you are going to update to NITHI, and you are midway through a save, please do not uninstall BB's Dawnguard. Doing this may potentially cause crashes. Instead, you should install this mod and allow it to overwrite BB's Dawnguard.

If you send me a message, please give me as much detail as possible so that I can help you.

If you want your NPCs to look like exactly like mine you will need:

• RBT (Race Based Textures)
• BnP Skin 2 or 4K for Females & males (RBT files)
• Obsidian Weathers
• Pi-Cho ENB for Obsidian Weathers
• LUX
