About This File

So the Original author has long abandoned his project and I decided to pick it up since he has the "WTFPL" license for his mod. :D

 

Original Mod - NPC's of Dibella
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27427/?

 

Quick Things to Mention
1. NPC's will look either better or worse depending on the body meshes/textures you've installed, usually much better. So don't rely on the pictures to see what they will look like in your game. They will look different, it's only to give them better hair and facial structure than the vanilla. They look great in my game, i'm sure they'll look good in yours.
2. All USKP changes are present in these mods, so they won't act weird by itself, OTHER MODS CAUSE THE PROBLEM.
3. This is completely compatible with most mods, as long as they don't change NPC records.
4. This is not a skimpy, whore-adding, slut-making, or waifu mod. This overhaul is just to make females look better than vanilla. That's it, nothing more, nothing less.
5. THIS ONLY MODIFIES FEMALES
Description
It's an overhaul of all female NPCs in game minus beast races. Check the Q&A section for details.

  • Tweaks virtually all females
  • Removes dirt, most age lines, rough skin and freckles
  • Replaces vanilla hair with better quality hair and more variety
  • Keeps everything else vanilla. This includes warpaint, hair color, eye color and face shape
  • Supports Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn DLCs
  • Dozens of hours spent in TES5Edit cleaning and merging to create a very stable mod


Installation
After you have the required files which you can see bellow, install the main file via any mod installer you have, overwrite when necessary.

 


Requirements
The Facegendata from NPC's of Dibella (Delete the esm and esp, you only need the meshes and textures folder installed)
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27427

 

ALL Unofficial Skyrim Patches
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19/?

All These Hair Packs (You just need the files, not the esm/esp's)


ApachiiSkyHair by Apachii
There are two hair packs you need from this mod

  • Download and install the main "ApachiiSkyHair" package
  • Download and install the optional "ApachiiSkyHairFemale" package


Cazy hairs by zzjay
There is only one hair pack you need from this mod

  • Download and install the main "Cazy Hairs" package


Ren Hair Reworked by Jay

  • Download and install from the link. It doesn't have a nexus link and the author asks that it not be uploaded to nexus.


When later versions of these mods come out, I don't see any reason there would be a compatibility issue.

 


In the end, you'll have the following esm/esp files:
ApachiiHair.esm
ApachiiHairFemales.esm
Cazy Hairs-by zzjay.esp
RenHair.esp

 

Uncheck all four of these unless you want to use one of those for your own character. This mod only requires the meshes and textures. Having too many hairs loaded into the showracemenu will cause a CTD (limitation of the game engine). "NPCs of Dibella - Resources.esm" from this mod is what includes the hair resources for the NPCs and excludes the player to keep the showracemenu from CTDing.

 

You may also want to check out ShowRaceMenu Precache Killer which seems to resolve the CTD with too many hairs.


If you do not have these requirements or complain about certain ones you don't want included that's too bad, not going to work on it.
Make sure you have the facegendata installed and overwriting any other mods. The facegendata will never change as I don't have the skill to modify NPC appearance, only the esp's NPC changes when the UKSP updates.
Questions and Answers
Which hair a NPC gets?

  • Rich people get more lush hair
  • Poor people get more rugged and plain hair
  • Guards, warriors and bandits get hair that is more pulled back (so it doesn't get in their faces in combat ofc)
  • Mages, necromancers and witches get a mix of rugged, plain and lush hair.
  • Thalmor get a mix of lush, plain and rugged hair, though more often lush.
  • Bar maids get lush hair
  • NPCs with an old hag voices keep age face maps


Why did you do this mod?
Do you use those nice skimpy armor replacers? I do. And I'm tired of seeing ugly women in a thong! ( Though mod is still great without skimpy armors :D )

 


Will this work with CBBE/UNP/UNPB/ADEC/etc?
It will work with any body mod

 

Which face texture is required?
It will work with any face texture

 

How can I help reduce the neck seam (if there is any)?
I personally use are the following mods to help keep the skin consistent looking:

 

No More Ugly Bronze Shine for consistent "_sk" textures
Dry Skin for consistent "_s" textures

 

I'll have those overwrite any base skin texture I use (Mature skin, SG, etc).

 

Is there a performance hit?
Yes. Higher quality hair meshes and a much larger number of them all equates to more intense system load. I personally only see like a 1-2FPS hit (if even that much) with a high end system that I have. Though others have seen more.

 

I'm seeing the grey head bug! What do I do!?
Load this mod's esp bellow any mod that alters NPCs. The only exception is if you have another mod that has a couple (or even just one) modded NPC(s) that you want to have overwrite mine (you'll also want to overwrite the facegen data I include in my mod for those NPCs). A common cause is UFO. ASIS is another one. Load my mod below these. I personally load my mod at the bottom of my load list with a custom BOSS rule. You also shouldn't need to export facegen data since the facegen data is under the required mods from the original. I didn't change any of the faces so it should still work.

 

Does that mean this mod isn't compatible with UFO/ASIS/etc?
It's very compatible. I use those mods personally.

 

Compatibility
Works with:

  • Any Follower Framework - Load after
  • Any body mod
  • Any skin texture
  • Any mod that has nothing to do with modifying NPCs


Notes:

  • Conflicts with any other mods that modifies the vanilla NPCs (or at least the NPCs I've edited thus far). If you have a mod that you want to have overwrite this one, then just install it after this and make sure it's esp is lower in the load order.
