Modder ‘Truceacred’ has released a high-polygon mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition that replaces the headpart of every single humanoid NPC. Thus, and alongside this mod, we’ve decided to share some additional mods that will greatly improve the appearance of NPCs.
As said, the High Poly Vanilla NPC Overhaul improves only the head of NPCs. This mod does not replace the Hair, Body, or textures of the NPCs. As such, it is compatible with the following mods.
You can download the High Poly Vanilla NPC Overhaul Mod from here. By using it with the following mods, you can completely transform the game’s dated NPCs.
MESHES
– (For Females) Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Enhancer -CBBE-
– (For Males) Highly Improved Male Body Overhaul -HIMBO-
– (Both) High Poly Vanilla HairTEXTURES
– (For Females) Demoniac CBBE v1.12SE – CBBE-COCO-TBD SMP 3BBB Supported
– (For Males) SkySight Skins – Ultra HD 4K 2K Male Textures and Real Feet Meshes
– (Required For Himbo Support) SkySight Skins – Schlongs of Skyrim – Patch
– (For Males) Beards
– (For Scars) Northborn Scars
Speaking of mods for Skyrim Special Edition, we also suggest checking the following ones. Wyrmstooth is an expansion-sized that adds new quests and dungeons. Additionally, this mod brings elements from The Witcher games to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Dragon Hall Tavern is another 2GB DLC-sized mod for Skyrim, adding new quests, locations, arena & more. Then we have Land of Vominhem and Legacy of the Dragonborn. And finally, you should definitely check this Castlevania-inspired mod, as well as this sci-fi city fan expansion.
Lastly, here is a video showcasing Skyrim with over 1300 mods and Reshade Ray Tracing. This video is not related to the aforementioned mods. However, and instead of publishing a separate article for it, I’ve decided to include it here.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

What’s with nerds and their obsession to make Skyrim look like a UE4 asset flip? Textures look clean and awful, characters look like dolls, environments look flat (mainly because of lighting and textures), the atmosphere is completely gone, and the main character looks like he doesn’t belong to this universe.
I’ve yet to see a mod that makes Skyrim look better than the xbox360 version let alone the PC version. You have to be utterly psychotic to like this cr4p.
Seems like we will be dead but this game won’t !
All with the same janky animations, truly next generation.
What we need is a mod to put Adrianna in the kitchen and her muscular husband on the forge.
bs, its not next gen it it was next gen everhy woman would look like a man.
or Giant Hips + Big-boobs

However, and instead of speaking proper English, I am still doing this in every article.
