Best looking NPC overhaul

[JMKAM]

Is there any kind of mod for the Guards to look good as well? 

[BasHanada]

I've been scouring mods sites for the past week but haven't found one so far...

[Herrmannesque]

One of these JH mods by sidearmf93 is changing the female guards in my game. I'm guessing it's the Bandits mod as it changes the appearance of more than just the female Bandits in the game. I was just in game in Dawnstar and the females guards there were all cuties.

Oh wow you're right, the Dawnstar guards are good looking, although the ones in the other holds I frequent aren't

[Herrmannesque]

There is at least one female guard in Ivarstead who looks pretty cute in my game. I'm also using Omegared's armor mod so all the guards there are wearing his Ivarstead armor.

This esp just does not want to cooperate with me haha

 

Nearly all of the female vampires changed by this mod show up in my game with their hair changed by the mod but with brown faces... except for one Dark Elf Volkihar Vampire I came across in Redwater Den.

 

I moved the esp to the bottom of my load order, before my bashed patch. Now I'm moving it up so it's the first JH mod to load in that block.

 

I did some poking around as I see the same thing.  Hert is based on a template, which is based on template, which is based on a template.  The first template defines the head, but it doesn't seem to work it's way back up.  Putting the head part into Hert's record makes her look like the pictures shown here.

I also am facing the dark face bug with JH Dawguard.  I dont think its for all of the vampires but some of them do brownface (Im running deadly wenches simultaneously but I can tell the difference because the DW mod gives the enemies more eyeshadow and a particular nose different from JH mods)  LOOT says it put it near the bottom with NPC85 and that works fine but the JH Elf and JH Bandit are near the top of my load order, that might do the trick.

[Herrmannesque]

I've only come across one vampire that was actually being changed by the mod. The rest all have the same brown face and whatever hair the mod assigns to them. I haven't encountered the Dawnguard yet so I don't know if they are being changed as they should.

[Guest]

The SS on the blog post show not only DG get a makeover but the vampires as well (all race types) however I think I might run into a conflict with EEO (I should just get rid of it, but I like some of the resources involved yet all it does is mess up my load order with other NPC mods).  I plug the files into NPC editor and it sorta works (need to find what conflicts with what as Mod Organizer is less than helpful moment).

[Herrmannesque]

Yeah, I just used a different save game I have to check out the Dawnguard. Some of them were changed but Ingjard had a brown face and different hair.

 

Here are some shots I grabbed from game...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[eifrag]

activate ECE.esp, it solved all my brown face/ugly bat face problems from JH dawnguard mod.......

[Guest]

SBeise I was hoping not to have to use ECE anymore, the other files work fine without it.  Tweaking it a little more before I resort back to the that option.

[Guest]

Yeah the ECE.esp didnt do anything.  It sort of cleaned up the faces but in castle volkihar 1/3 of the vampires still had that brown face with only minor tweaks implemented and the Hestla NPC remains the only good altered before and after.  Checking the load order to see if that might do anything, also on the blog page I cannot get the hangul to translate because the author leaves some kind of regarding the elf files in game which might help in implementing this.

[dTd]

As good as racemenu is now, I still haven't seen the kind of beauty that people put out using ece, I wonder if it's even possible? Can Tania be made using racemenu only  http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58670/?  ?

[Geofizz]

Thanks it solved it for me.  As others have the said, the other files don't seem to need ECE, but this one does for me.

[Herrmannesque]

I don't want ECE in my load order. Looks like I'm going to pull the DG overhaul out of my game...

Well, you can get the morphs pretty close and probably sculpt the rest if you have a bit of an eye for that sort of thing.

Hi all, I have been reading the thread a while and from the posts on here I have intslled NPC 85 by sidearmf93 and after a little work got it all up and running great. I thought I would post some details here for those that want to run this NPC replacement mod on their systems. I'm not going to go into actually downloading and repacking the files, you can work that all out for yourself as this thread already covers most of that,

 

This mod requires the following mods to work correctly and I have used ModManager to install all the files.

 

KS Hairdos: 400

SGhair 268 by by HelloSanta :

SG Female Brows :

The Eyes of Beauty :

 

Also on the webpage it also says to have ECE 1.2 or higher installed but I don't have that and it seems to run okay.

 

Mod Installation (In this order)

 

 (NPC 54) "First post so I can post a link but its the NPC54 link at the bottom of sidearmf93's menu"

 

This is the main mod as far as I can tell as it adds  54 NPC's to the game, but I only count 53 form the pictures on the webpage so I seem to be missing one somewhere.

Then just simply ran LOOT to put the mods in order and played the game.

 

I am no means an expert on modding (still can't get SOGS V4 to play nice) but I hope this helps in some small way

[Herrmannesque]

Of all of sidearmf93's mods, the one that people seem to be having the most trouble with so far appears to be the Dawnguard replacer... i initially had trouble with NPC 85명 but resolved my problem by putting it towards the end of my load order.

 

The download for NPC 54명 comes from a googledocs link, like the Forsworn replacer. It has meshes and textures and an esp. I'm guessing that this one came first.

 

The download for NPC54명 + 16명 is literally just an esp. No meshes and textures.

 

The download for NPC 85명 has two folders with the same esp, plus meshes and textures for all the characters. One of these is for NPC 54명 but all of the characters changed by that esp are also listed in NPC 85명. The esp for NPC 85명 has all the characters you listed above.

 

So, basically, as long as you grabbed the NPC 85명 archive and put that into your load order, you would end up with all the meshes and textures you need for NPC 85명 plus the esp that changes all the characters you listed. 

 

The jh_people2.esp basically gets replaced twice if you start with NPC 54명 but there's no reason to do that if you just use the one from NPC 85명. All the meshes and textures are in that archive plus the right esp to use.

 

I've had no luck with Skyrim Of GaranSilent in my game, no matter where I put it in my load order. I'm guessing that as long as any of sidearmf93's mods are installed, there must be some kind of conflict.

That's hot

[marcob3]

for NPC 85 mod and and similar both ks hairdo and sghair  esps must be activated? or is ok just have the resources in data?

 

[yatol]

for NPC 85 mod and and similar both ks hairdo and sghair  esps must be activated? or is ok just have the resources in data?

 

you only need the textures of the hairs

but there's a problem with those esp

 

 

 

look closely at the neck

if you have the npc in your save, body weight don't upgrade

 

 

 

 

 

for dawnguard, problem is the tint mask that is missing from that esp

 

 

 

 

 

 

here's the esp i use if someone want it, that's

-ai overhaul

-uskp

-feminine female

-npc protected

-jh people, bandit, dawngard, elf, forsworn

-btrh

-serenaholic

 

count me out to make it work, it have that as master

-perkus master

-uskp

-breezhome fully upgradable

-northern_encounters2

-obis (a merge of obis and obisdg)

-collegeofwinterholdimmersive (a merge of all those esp)

-potion (a merge of dozen esp, but i think it only need revenge of the ennemies from it)

 

and if the btrh npc have a neck seam with that esp, it's normal, no custom texture in the esp, but for the head, you have to take care of that in the nif texture path

and it have the problem from above (head for weight x, and jh esp at weight 100)

AI Overhaul.7z

[Herrmannesque]

Where can I find the missing tint mask for the Dawnguard mod?

[Camila]

Thanks a ton for the NPC 85 link xD

I would have never found that myself
