Vanhal Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 What would you recommend as best visual replacer for NPC looks? Immersion and lore-friendliness not required at all. Although i would like matching body and face textures.
doan77 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 What would you recommend as best visual replacer for NPC looks? Immersion and lore-friendliness not required at all. Although i would like matching body and face textures. Surely not the best, but something i found recently Unique Everytthing on Nexus. Allow you to use different meshes/textures/skeletons by race. -great potential but need a lot of test-   BTRH Waifu, change the appearance of some main female - greatly done in my opinion http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53152/?  Inhabitans of Skyrim. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23755/? Change appearance of every named character. 2 patch, one using Apachy skyhair, the other using basic hair Lorefriendly. Keep the vanilla touch of NPC.
gvman3670 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Inhabitants of Skyrim is the most complete makeover, although it does have a few necessary mods for it to work. I wanted something lighter. So I use these.... Â http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13746/? Â http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37861/? Â I have SBF overwriting the followers that are changed by the other (they're a little more attractive). This changes all the named female NPCs in the game and only requires Apachii hair. Â I've tried SAM to make the males more realistic and have more physical variety as well. It works and functions fine in conjunction with SL mods, too.
Vanhal Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks. Although i hoped for something more in spirit of Oblivion's Xeo. Inhabitants looks not bad, but is not even quarter-way in right direction, its way too much immersive and lore friendly. Beautiful followers are more like it, but only touch followers.
Killing Joke Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 You also have NPC 85, I like how it looks but not lore-friendly at all, and it's a women only overhaul. 2
Vanhal Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 You also have NPC 85, I like how it looks but not lore-friendly at all, and it's a women only overhaul. Â Almost exactly what i needed, many thanks. And it don't even have that annoying dark face issue every other npc overhaul seems to have. And lore-friendliness and immersivness are much overrated, in fact i would prefer straight anime-type mod. No such thing unfortunately, instead we have that, for example: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60846/? I can appreciate the thoughts and works behind this, but why take mod that don't change much and painstakingly modify it, so it change even less? 1
mosmos Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 From Vanhal last post "lore-friendliness and immersivness are much overrated, in fact i would prefer straight anime-type mod. No such thing unfortunately" you and me think alike  So i've been using these  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34935/?  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50396/?  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51302/?  and these don't replace anything they add more intresting looking npc  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60625/?  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51189/?     2
dTd Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015  Got a DL link for that naver mod?  Untitled.jpg   Thanks yeah but it requires a username and password and that I don't have
katsurada Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Is there any good overhauls for men only?I recently uninstalled "Ultimate NPC Overhaul" which by me is really, really good. But it doesnt play well at all when using UNPBO and their body textures. Most female actors gets a lighter face than the body.

I can appreciate the thoughts and works behind this, but why take mod that don't change much and painstakingly modify it, so it change even less? Â You're welcome. And I agree with you, if you want to stay lore-friendly no need for an NPC overhaul, I consider that a good selection of bodies/heads/normal maps/textures is already enough. Â Â Thanks yeah but it requires a username and password and that I don't have Click links tagged "PC" not those on the far right.
guk Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Is that NPC 85 mod in english or korean? Â Also the description says something about requiring ECE.
Killing Joke Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 English. I don't have ECE and as far as I can tell it works.
guk Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 English. I don't have ECE and as far as I can tell it works. K so i just tested this, most of them are absolutely hot. Many unique looking characters, unlike mods like Bijin Warmaidens where they all look 90% identical. There are 2 problems with this mod: Many of them have a head seam - either head exported at wrong size or the ECE head missing? In the pictures in the Naver blog you can see Astrid, but she is definitely not in the NPC85 download when you merge it with the fix0331 update. The mod is also called "NPC 54" instead of "85" inside the main download.
Killing Joke Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 1. Weird, because then the problem should appear on all NPCs if the issue is the missing ECE's head? But this weekend I'm gonna try with ECE installed to see if I get this issue. 2. I have NPC 54 mod too but the archive is smaller than NPC 85 (54 = 26.8MB, 85 = 43.5MB). So I don't know what to tell you. TBH I haven't tested this mod thoroughly, lack of time and already have 2 other MO profiles to keep me busy. Â Edit: just spawned Astrid at me, she's overhauled as shown on the blog's screenshot.
guk Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 No no... i don't have ECE installed, but the Naver page says you need ECE 1.2. I only understood something about "elven ears" though with google translate. Â Now look closely at this picture - i guess 99% of all players don't notice, but the head is made for a larger body weight: I painted red along the seam, and the arrows indicate where you can see the gap/seam clearly. You can compare this effect when you import a head in RaceMenu on a 0 weight body that was exported at anything higher. Â It is like that on about every third NPC i spawned through the console. So i'd say it is great artwork, but poor craftsmanship. Â Â Oh and i just saw Astrid in tes5edit, must have missed her before.
vrevenge0 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 How do i download NPC85 i don't see any links
Killing Joke Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 @guk: Indeed I also have what you show although it's very subtle on my end, I have to stop and take a close look at it to see it - surely depends of the ENB preset used, when disabled it's more apparent -. I also have the dark face bug with some NPC like Saffir. I tried on a profile with ECE installed: it doesn't change anything, these issues are still there, so yeah, it's a head export problem.
Vanhal Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Checking once more there is indeed npc54 and not 85 (whatever the difference is).
hater34 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 so the npc 85 only does certain women, and not all of them?
guk Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 so the npc 85 only does certain women, and not all of them? It covers a huge amount of female townsfolk, but no followers at all (not sure if Karliah and DBinitiate2 are real followers). Either way you can load it after mods like "Inhabitants of Skyrim", and then add any follower overhauls before or after it. Just make sure that the resource files in MO are in the same order like the plugins. Â I guess this would be a pretty much high-end candidate for users of SexLab Amorous Adventures, if there wasn't this stupid neck seam problem. Maybe someone here on LL can communicate in korean and request an updated version from the author? ... so hot =)
Killing Joke Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 This reminds me, in case you didn't browse much the blog there are also other female overhauls by the same author (therefore with the same issues ) Female Bandits Dawnguard Thalmor Forsworn And for a mod called Populated Skyrim Civil War http://blog.naver.com/sidearmf93/90189411188 All of this combined with Feminized Level Lists make Skyrim a better place to be, definitely. 3
guk Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Yep checked them all, but that's too much beauty for me - can't stand seeing all these topmodels getting killed

Heh I got all those. So dark elves are not effected. Alright time to look for one for them
