What mods to use

[deltarno]

Hey there all!  Got a new computer a while back, and that means that I need to reinstall Skyrim.  But seeing how this is a new and improved rig, I decided to forgo the old setup and try something new, something better looking.

First I tried Skyrim: The Journey, a mod collection that looked beautiful and ran like silk, but could not have our type of mods added to it.  Alas, it was tuned to a razor edge, and ignored anything that wasn't core built.

So, back to the basics!  Uninstalled and burned down everything, and starting from the ground up.  Still wanting the game to look lovely, so I'm trying some graphics mods.  Sadly, they seem to be about improving the environment, not so much the people.  So I had to ask;

 

What mods should I use to make the most beautiful people?  Both PC's and NPC's.

 

I plan on other mods as well, of course, but aside from the quest and enhancement (heh) mods, I believe I have all the adult mods I need.  The problem now is making everything look good, getting the ladies to bounce (Always have trouble with this, although many thanks to Mr. Juggler to the tips), and getting everything to load.  So, you know, the basic new Skyrim installation problems.

 

Any tips for mods for lovely people will be appreciated.

For males I reommend Better males - Beautiful nudes and faces.

For females Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Edition. 

Both can be found on Nexusmods.

If you want preetier faces just use the search function with the word: face.

all replacer mods for vanilla NPCs. Makes most of the unique NPCs really pretty.

 

As for PC its really up to your own taste and how much lore-friendly you want your game to be.

I really like these:

Better Makeup for SKSE

Better Vampire Fangs and Eyes

Freckle Mania

KS Hairdos

Natural Eyes

Ethereal Elven Overhaul

Most of the time I use a HDT hairstyle, adorable face, fair skin complexion and ECE with Serenity ENB. I turned off the SSAO and DOF though, as I'm playing on a laptop and they causes more FPS loss than I'm willing to deal with. I would say the result suits my taste and looks pretty good considering my rig...ENB is important for both environment and character to look good.
