LE Elves that don't look aweful

[Switchfeathers]

Alright, I have to say it, I'm sick of how the elves in Skyrim look.

 

Quite frankly, they're aweful. Bosmer, Dunmer, Altmer, Falmer, all of them, ugly as sin.

 

And it's not their skin, or their wrinkly faces or their eye colour or hair that makes them ugly, it's their face shape. The whole shape of their heads! It's nothing to do with their texture, it's all in the model - the mesh.

 

I desperately want to play as an elf, but I'm always put off by how godawful my character looks when I do. The Breton, Nord, Imperial and Redgaurds all have lovely face shapes, Orcs look like orcs, Aragoinians look suitably lizardman-ish and Khajiit look like cat people.

 

But elves?

 

Elves look like decomposing alien corpses with a side helping of anorexia! They have long, thin, sunken faces that look like bad Halloween masks. And I'm sick of that look!

 

 

Can somebody please make a mod that just replaces the head mesh of all the elves with Breton or Imperial or something? Keeping nothing but the texture and ears?

 

Currently I'm using the race morpher mod and have it set on "Breton" (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13623) which works to an extent, but all the elves lose their elf ears. I have another mod that makes a bunch of wearable ear items, but that only counts towards my player character, not the countless NPCs wandering around.

 

So please, can somebody just get in there and make some new headmorphs for elves that are essentially "Breton with elf ears"? Please? I'm at my wit's end here and I've just spent two very frustrating hours trying to find a mod that changes the elf head morphs (Heads up: There are none.)

 

Or at very least, can somebody tell me how to make it so all elf characters automatically equip the ears in this mod I have?

 

Thanks.

Have you checked out Ethereal Elven Overhaul

I personally don't use it as I don't play an elf. A lot of work has gone into it to make them look much better. Might be worth examining if you havent.

This... actually turned out pretty well!

 

I still had to do a bit of work to make an elf that didn't look too thin in the face, but it's a big improvement over vanilla, thanks!

It's nice in the sense that it remains lore friendly (the elves still maintain the basic facial shape they have been established with in previous titles) but they don't necessarily look ugly as sin.
