Safely changing appearance?

[Scrapjack]

I grew bored of the way my character looks, but I'm too far into the game to have any will to start over, so I wanna change its appearance (not race or stats, just the appearance) without having my achievements disabled or game-breaking glitches. Is the good old showracemenu safe to use for this, is there a mod for, I don't know, a magic plastic surgeon that makes this safer? I googled for a while, but couldn't find any definitive answer.

If you have Dawnguard, Galathil in the Ragged Flagon in Riften can change your face for 1000 gold.
The showracemenu command is quite safe, though.

There is a face sculptor in the Thieves Guild (DLC's required)

I don't own the DLCs sadly :(

If you have current version of the mod named RaceMenu, then changing your appearance is very safe. Vanilla UI works as well, but is more unstable and risks both crashing and breaking your save with showracemenu command.

To be fair, the crash with vanilla UI is rare, but it does not have any inbuilt safeguards against it. RaceMenu does. Note, that chaning your race may still reset some of your skills, so trying that is not adviced.

From wiki:

showracemenu

Bring up character customization menu. Magicka, Stamina, and Health will be spread evenly on using this depending on your character's level. It will remove any custom point distributions. Note: Using TGM command before entering the menu will retain your original levels. Will only modify your attributes/skills/points/etc. if you change the race, sex, or select a preset from the list. Modifying cosmetic things like skin color/warpaint/hair/face shape/etc. will leave your points.

Press ~ to open the console menu.
Simply type:
showracemenu

then press ~ to close the console again.

If you dont have the pc version:
Mwhahahahahahahhahaha sucks to be you.

Forgive me.
A got a few sadistic tendensies.

Just stating the obvious, but make a save before you do this.

Yep. It is also merged to this mod, which potentially fixes several other things as well.
