Character enhancing mods

[Fhtagn]

What nexusmods can you suggest me to use in order to make my character as HD-looking as possible? I mean, just like the characters mostly in google, youtube videos, etc. To make it more clear, just like the one below:

Please do organize them like the ff:

1. Hair
2. Eyes
3. Lips
4. Body mesh



I already know Enhanced Character Edit by the ECE team BTW.


~Thanks!!

lots of trial and error will get you what you want....

What you mean is you want your character to be as supernaturally perfect as possible.
If you truely want them to just be HD, then I recommend Total Character Makeover which just enhances the quality of the vanilla style.
Changing the complete and utter style of a character isnt making it more HD, its changing the style.

As far as what you want though, you might want to look more at Racemenu, as it gives more control as far as I know, and apachii hair and a body replacer. I cant give more details because I dont like that sort of style and dont use it, so those are just what I know of.

Aight! Thanks for the answers guys! Gonna go try them out ;) Thanks again!!

I would actually recommend that you ignore ECE.

RaceMenu can currently do everything than ECE does and more - without being clunky. RM also has mesh editing tool, but using it is not required. Most character enhancment sliders in Nexus suport RM rather than ECE, so might wish to consider moving in to it.

I'm with Nazenn, although I think Mature Skin works well with TCM (I personally find TCM a touch too smooth on women) and possibly Brows, as well, because one or two of the brows in TCM (mainly the ones Hulda has) are a bit too plucked for me. I also like The Eyes of Beauty for eye textures and/or Natural Eyes which has textures but also adds new eye shapes which IMO are more realistic than several of the vanilla ones without being a huge departure from the vanilla style. And I agree with Ilja, Race Menu is miles better than ECE.

I use Improved Eyes Skyrim over Eyes of Beauty. I found Eyes of Beauty to look a bit flat in game, while Improved Eyes Skyrim retains its depth and detail even when looking at npcs. It also has some great options for consistant vampire eyes to pick from.

I replaced the female skin texture from TCM as well, but brows I didnt mind as I thought the ones from the mod Brows were more shaped then the ones that come with it which I didnt like.

I am using this for female textures (with No scars update from Optional Files).

Edit: I forgot to mention that you may need one file from ECE for these textures to work properly with RM. Some peoples say that they need one and others say they don't. Hellosanta explains this in her sticky post.

I do have that file, because one of my other mods require it. I just copied the whole file path, removed nonsense from folders, made a zip out of it and uploaded it to my mod manager as a mod.

Ooh, haven't seen that one, I don't tend to use the npc replacer with TEOB anyway, but I'll have a look. I think the Brows Brows are a bit tidier overall, but (might just be my game...) Hulda looks like she's barely got any eyebrows at all! I go in the Mare quite often, so it bugged me enough to change.
