Any mods to overhaul NPC appearance?

[Sir Noob Wulf]

Guys does anyone have any good mods to overhaul the NPC appearance? And also the hairstyle?

I am replaying skyrim again (I have lost count at this point) and I see enough ugliness in a mirror to last a lifetime. So are there any mods that would make Skyrim NPCs look better?

I have seen this one mod Botox but it only applies to female NPCs and is not my taste.

I have a section in my guide dedicated to that, "Lore Friendly NPCs" and all it's requirements:

The main mods are all by Southpawe, outstanding work I might add.

And I have quite a few in my guide as well, section 12

Yes! cfs111 uses Bijin NPCs IIRC which is excellent as well. I used it for years in my load orders. Can't go wrong with either one.

[cfs111]

Yep, I also have a few others that handles NPC the Bijin does not cover. The Men of Winter as well which covers a lot of the men in game, as well as many others.

Yeah use to use Bijin, Pandorable, The Ordinary Women, along with all the stand alone mods in all my load orders but I'm over it now lol, nowadays I'm fine with Southpawe's Northbourne series.

I did use Bijin NPCs at some point, But rn I am gonna go with Northbourne cuz I am lazy and it seems like the simpler option xD

Pretty much why I switched from using several to Northbourne (along with any standalone's). I was really into, and still am to some degree, making all my NPC's look great and I may go back to it at some point although Northbourne covers pretty much all of them.

I have been using PoeticAnt44 for the last 3-4 months. Be warned lots of esp's if you get the whole set (With patches for immersive Weapons and Immersive College of Winterhold)

Makes a nice change.

If you really want to use some you likely will need to patch it yourself since thats type of mod that usually has crazy number of mod conflicts due to games design.

if you want a extremely lazy option just mashing bunch of mods that dont use specific character editing is easiest option. If it doesnt edit any characters appearance for them specifically conflict is pretty much impossible. I did that for a while and it did decent job.

I would give more insightful advice but I have gotten myself locked into never ending skyrim modding and not actual playing. I keep adding, removing, updating, testing, etc.
