XCE is a compilation of all my work on the enhancement of the characters in Skyrim.
What it does:
- Adds more detail to skin of faces and bodies
- Gets rid of angular shapes caused by compressed object space normal maps
- Adds a lot more detail to the eyes
- Makes the fingernails more visible
- Removes jagged edges from the lips
Regarding the neck seam
I am aware of it. Actually it's the same seam as seen in the original game.
The neck part of both body and face textures is the same as the original textures.
When making the new textures I edited the whole texture at first, this only made
the seam worse, so in the end I left that part unedited.
At a later time I may try again to get rid of it completely.
About the eyes
The way I created the eyes changed the color as well, the effect depends on the original
color. I don't mind this myself and at moment I can not guarantee it will ever get changed.
Warpaint & Scars
Designs by Gizmodian, I made them into usable textures and mixed them to create many
variations. Not all of the warpaint has been used yet.
Once the CK is available the warpaint designs will be added next to the existing ones
instead of replacements.
Body Replacements
Whenever a body replacement gets released that I actually like more than Skyrim's original
body I will add support for it. Until then, nobody is stopping you from installing any body
replacement after this mod to combine them.
This mod is for you if:
- You like and use all of my work
- You hate to download a bucketload of separate files
This mod is not for you if:
- You don't like my work at all
- You only use a few of my mods
Expected updates:
- Body seams fix
- Warpaint, tattoos, scars etc.
- Brows
- Teeth
- Beast Races - Even after making 2 versions I'm still not happy with the result.
For me they are also much harder to do than the human and elven races.
When I am happy with their look, they will added in an update.
Also worth mentioning: the original face textures of the beast races are higher resolution
than the human and elven ones, so a replacement is less necessary.
Possible updates:
- Hair
Other facts:
- This is an ongoing project
- This package will stay a one file download
- Only originally intended content will be added
- Optional content will never be added (with the exception of darker eyes)
- Separate files will stay available
- New additions will be released separately (subject to change in the future)
- Once the Creation Kit is available new content besides replacements will be possible as well
Currently integrated mods:
Detailed Faces
Detailed Bodies
Detailed Lips
No More Blocky Faces
High Quality Eyes
Gizmodian's Scars
Gizmodian's Warpaint
Use 7zip or WinRar to extract the files.
Move the Data folder to your Skyrim folder.
You can find the Skyrim folder here: Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim
To those who are new to using Elder Scrolls mods:
- You do not have to extract the .bsa archives. The folder provided by
this mod has the same structure as the inside of the .bsa archive, it will
override the textures that are included in the .bsa file.
- Do not worry about the Data folder that already exists, the folder provided
by this mod will be merged with the existing folder, it will not be overwritten.
Instructions in readme
This mod is compatible with the optional files of my following mods:
No More Blocky Faces
High Quality Eyes
4GB Skyrim by Monochrome Wench
