Looking for good NPC Overhaul


Wakaitsu

Recommended Posts

Got back into Skyrim lately and discovered my favorite NPC enhancer got taken down by author for unstated reasons 😞 So I'm looking for new one.

I don't like dollificators like Pandorable series that turns every NPC into an underwear model, so please no shiny hair or "every woman has same face shape" suggestions, I'm looking to slightly enhance people of Skyrim, not turn the whole game into a Barbie Mansion.

Any suggestions?

Not my favorites, but inago777 has a lot of good no-esp visual replacers.

Kalilies are (imho) better ones, but with less coverage.

I don't see these are dollificators... though you should feel free to disagree.

And that's exactly what I feared -_\ Come on, when a street beggar looks like a Victoria Secret girl - surely you should know something went wrong, no?

Again - please don't suggest dollifiers. And by that I mean:

1) No plastic-smooth faces

2) No shiny-clean hair that looks like it was taken straight from shampoo adds

3) No "different people = same face" syndrome

Skyrim is a harsh land. There are no modern hygienic products, no hot water running from you faucet. I don't need every beggar and commoner looking like they just took a steamy shower with two hours of spa procedures before it. I need a realisticly looking somewhat attractive people, not coverboys and covergirls from 22th century somehow stuck in medieval society.

I found this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/54422 which is probably the closest resemblance to the one overhaul I used to play. The men are gritty and stoic, the mer are eerie and beautiful, but with alien fleur, the girls are a bit more dolly than I would like, but eh, perfection is unachievable,I guess. I need something like this, but for LE.

Umm,   you call Pandorable a 'dollifier',  and then cite Modpocalypse as an example of  what you want?    That mod got KS Hair (albeit with Salt and Wind) on everyone!    

Really, if that NPC replacer is up your alley, then pretty much any replacer will do.    You will get more mileage from installing stuff like Salt/Wind textures for hair, 'grittier' skins like Valhalla, and topping it off with a proper lighting mod...

Can you elaborate on that?

Also - what is wrong with calling Pandorable a dollifyer when it is one? One look at the screenshots and all you see is shiny hair and plastic faces. And I said that Modpocalypse was the "closest I could find". The overhaul I used to run was very subtle and changed very little, which was exactly what I liked about it. No idea why it got taken down.

"That mod got KS Hair (albeit with Salt and Wind) on everyone!" - so? I don't mind any hair models themselves as long as they fit the character. Pandorable tends to slap haircuts on characters that 100% don't fit and look absolutely bonkers. Like, a blacksmith with a long shiny locks? Yeah, sure.
