Trying to make a Beautiful Female...Help Please?

[StayFrosty]

Males I have nailed, but Females I am failing dismally... ...all my girls coming up looking like squashed faced anime... ...Heck! Maybe it's because I'm female and much more interested in gorgeous males than females, but I just can't seem to make a beautiful woman.

 

What I am after is a naive, doe eyed, younger looking female (early 20's years of age appearance)...the more natural and unkempt looking the better...no make up, no neat eyebrows (not overly heavy/thick, just not neat and plucked either), no beautiful/modern hair do's.. (personally for hair I like the Apachii Dreadlocks, but am not set on it). I tend to make dark skinned, dark eyed Bretons for females (Nord for males) and I would like to stay with those skin tones, eye color and race. I use the ECE and SevenBase TBBP body with the MilkDrinker/Barbarian skin/face texture (using Barbarian, I like the contrast between the innocent face and the hard woman's body)..unless someone can suggest a better face texture? The body texture is good, but not so much the face texture.

 

Anyone willing to help me please?

1. don't use better females by bella
2. pick up the ningheim race mod. Disregarding some of the extreme sliders introduced by racemenu, it's pretty impossible to make bad looking character

[StayFrosty]

Yep, I know not to touch Bella... ...was a good starting point, but is defunct and outdated now. I would prefer not to add another race, am trying to run my game as Mod light as possible at the moment, but will take another look at it...Thank you...

just pick what you want from the topic about creating characters

 

all these are breton

Ningheim + Chargen is pretty easy to make female characters with.

[StayFrosty]

Thank you Yatol...I like the girl in the Iron Armor and the last one best (just different Hair Do for last one)...I will look for those two...

 

[StayFrosty]

LaEspada...I am currently looking at the Ningheim, am thinking about it...

I saw it first in this thread: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/31614-how-do-i-get-better-at-making-my-character-look-nice/

[StayFrosty]

Thank you Dried Finger...am taking a very close look and studying it carefully...and looking through the thread, I think I will try out those Univision Textures,  they look good.

Maybe it's because I'm female and much more interested in gorgeous males than females, but I just can't seem to make a beautiful woman.

 

I think that's exactly why

[Guest Real]

I always pull up a face i think is beautiful and bring it up on my second monitor. Then I fail miserably. I can't help at all.

Ha ! It's the exact opposite for me : i'm a male and can't make a decent looking male PC. I can easilly understand you.

 

For a preset, no idea if you can use some Racemenu preset, because i'm only using it and not ECE.

[Benmc20]

Why not use Bella's?

 

Because you can find far better by now.

What do you recommend to check it?

[pringles89]

you can check out SG Renewal

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35267/?

or

Fair skin

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51602/?

 

i think both can give a younger look, although may be tough to mix/match with other body textures.

 

what do you think of the following presets? (mainly face/texture since you can switch out hair)
