Mods for more "natural looking people"

[rifle274]

What mods should I use to make my character look more natural/beautiful?

The stock people looks pretty stupid if you ask me :confused:

I'm looking for something like this

What mods should I use to make my character look like that? (I know what armor it is)

Thanks :turned:

1. You need better facial textures. Install Natural Faces or Improved Facial Textures to replace age maps, then install any facial textures over that.

2. In Oblivion, all facial features are determined by: Base head mesh, racial base Facegen slider values, and Facegen slider values applied on individual actors So if you want to make your character's face better, you will have to tweak those sliders when you make new character. If you want to make NPCs look better, you'll have to tweak NPCs' faces with Construction Set. If you're looking for pre-made mod for NPC faces, there're several NPC look overhaul, IIRC.

Sure. Install in this order:

 

First, better bodies:

 

EVE HGEC Eyecandy Variants Expansion -- this is a complete body replacer including armor and clothes. You will need to choose body type while installing.

 

OR, if you're OK with the stock body shape and just want less blotchy / more natural coloration, then instead of the above just install Vibrant Bodytextures Femmes. That will re-color all of the upperbody textures of female races to match the facial textures below, but will not change the body shape or clothes.

 

Then, face textures:

 

IFT Improved Facial Textures -- adds higher resolution base face textures, better looking normal maps and age maps.

 

Facial Textures by Enayla -- nicer looking base face textures. Replaces only the base textures, which is why you need to install IFT above first.

 

And, for better looking hair, my favorite:

 

Corean -- download only the "coreanhair" file. This adds a selection of hairs for the player. Having tried out pretty much all of the hair mods out there, this is the most "natural" one that fits in well with the original look of the game.

 

A couple of quick screenshots of my character in Sheogorath's palace. She's using the Vibrant Bodytextures and the face and hair mods above.

They look stupid? That might be a little harsh, I consider it to be the "racial" look of the people of Cyrodiil. They can't all be movie stars. =) But yeah, some good suggestions have been made already if you really want to change them.

Thanks guys.

The picture I found, the skin is kind of like "glowing". How would I achieve this? Looks like heavy use of bloom

That's bloom lighting in candlelight. Turn on Bloom lighting and go stand near the altar in any cathedral and you'll get the same effect. Not really anything to do with the skin textures themselves.
