Part 5 : NPC's
I'm going to break this into two options. First part is for people who want the quick and easy way for a decent NPC overhaul but keeping the original games overall design. Second part is much more involved list with a much more focus on making NPCs more attractive. If you are brand new to modding i'd probably not do the beautification one as It can be little confusing if you have no clue what you are doing. One mistake on that can cause many NPCs to have dark face bug.. I made video HERE covering that.
​
The Quick and Easy
​
WICO - this is my edited version of WICO. It removes the extra edits to the NPCs that can cause issue so this only changes appearance
​
​
RS Children - select ussep, 2k aventus, and facial animations.
​
UNP Body for Females - this is just so the skin below works properly all vanilla armors will still work fine. When installing select pinup, static(this guide doesn't go over physics stuff), the rest doesn't matter as the mod below will overwrite them. If later on you decide you want to use CBBE instead just remove this mod and install the CBBE one here and make sure to swap out the UNP Body fit mod in the equipment section and make sure to replace tempered skin with a CBBE skin texture.
​
Tempered Skin for Females - for body options pick whatever you prefer. When you get to tintmasks check 1k for all of them. After you install right click the mod in mo2 and click open in explorer if you have a "meshes" folder delete that so you only have a texture folder in there.
​
Vitruvia Skin for Males - under options check 2k.. the rest of the options are up to your preference.
​
​
MonsterRaider's Beast Skins - get all 4 of the skin textures. Choose 2k and for the females choose vanilla body. When installing choose whatever looks best to you.
​
​
​
The Eyes of Beauty - get the NPC version towards the bottom
​
llygaid Eye Improver - download the unity 1k, simple life reflection, and unreal eye SK
​
​
​
The Beautification Setup
​
KS Hairdo's - get the main download then get the esp fix. Also grab THIS fix as well.
​
KS Hairdo's - salt and wind. The salt and wind textures make it so these hairs don't feel completely out of place in the world
​
Apachii Hair - this has THREE downloads get the full optimized. The female Optimized and the Male Optimized downloads
​
​
Botox - this is my edited version of the oldrim version that adds KS Hair
​
High Quality Tintmasks for Vanilla - get the loose 1k version
​
Project SNNR - this is SSE convert of THIS mod. Most these are replaced by mods below but this does cover some extra no name NPCs.
​
Babes of Skyrim - this covers males and females.. the screenshots on nexus are pretty crappy I dunno why they used those but ingame with the rest of the mods they look lot better. The go HERE and get the USSEP download and place that ESP directly below the Babes combined one
​
High Quality Tintmasks for Babes - Get the one for babes of skyrim
​
DX's Better Men(Optional) - some find this one to "pretty" for males think it fits well with Bijin but it's optional. Also get the USSEP patch
​
Pandorable's Dawnguard - download the USSEP version, be sure to grab the VR patch under Misc files
​
Pandorable's NPC's - download the black face fix and the ussep ESP after the main download
​
​
Bijin - this one takes a couple extra steps. First download Bijin Wives , Bijin NPC's , and Bijin Warmaidens using the very top download. When installing them select the All in one option. The other options are up to you if it asks for body type use unp. After those are installed, install Seranaholic, get both the serana and Valerica downloads for body select unp and the others up to you.
​
Now go HERE and get the all in one(you want the Bijin AIO 2019 - Serana Valerica download). In each mod you installed above(except the all in one) you want to right click the mod and select information go to optional ESP tab then select the ESP and click the up arrow so the esp now shows on the upper tab. After doing that for all of them the only bijin esp left in your load order should be the Bijin_AIO-SV 2018.esp
​
​
Bijin Skin for Bijin Family - pick the unp download
​
UNP Body for Females - this is just so the skin below works properly all vanilla armors will still work fine. When installing select pinup, static(this guide doesn't go over physics stuff), the rest doesn't matter as the mod below will overwrite them. If later on you decide you want to use CBBE instead just remove this mod and install the CBBE one here and make sure to swap out the UNP Body fit mod in the equipment section and make sure to replace tempered skin with a CBBE skin texture.

​
