@SINITAR-GAMING. Can you make a video on Rigmor of cyrodiil REBOOT. When it releases.

[@anonymous-on2xm]

Could you make a video on your personal favorite load order

[@ZEROFLCN]

what armor mod did you used from video bro???please answer thanks

[@PigMachineSenpai]

Modding characters has always been tricky for me. I always aim for consistency between named and unnamed npcs without making everyone look like a supermodel, you know?

[@chrispeacock1257]

I feel High Poly NPC Overhaul does a good job of making bandits and other radiant NPCs look good. Then you can overwrite it with specific NPC mods to make named NPCs look exactly the way you like.

[@PigMachineSenpai]

@@chrispeacock1257 Weird. I always use UNP combined with WICO and other hair and eye retexture mods to fine-tune that experience. I don't like how shiny they are tho

[@MadMatTom7769]

​@@PigMachineSenpai UNP? Try Dream Girl, it looks more realistic.

[@PigMachineSenpai]

@@MadMatTom7769 Is it compatible with armor mods or anything?

[@MadMatTom7769]

@@PigMachineSenpai It should be compatible with most 'normal' armor mods, it is similar to UNP so in most cases you should be able to have UNP-dedicated mods on DG. And it is compatible with WICO.

[@PowerfulRift]

Great video Sinitar! Love your content!!

[@SinitarG]

Thank you! Cheers :)

[@KazuYuuu]

Hey there Sinitar! Great vid, though I was wondering if you knew about the Northbourne NPCs mods. They're one of my favorite NPC overhauls that works for both females and males- I recommend you check it out because they could be a contender for this list.

[@MagisterJohn]

Also what clothing mods are used in this video! Looks awesome

[@nikjojo]

3:16 how do you get expressive faces, are you using the mod or is it just vanilla?

[@silentxwxlf]

Vanilla, I think. Or thats just how her face looks like idk, pretty sure its not modded tho

[@shepard77]

Hi Sinitar, you are doing a great job with Skyrim mods overview, I pretty much watch only your videos. Can you please advise, if you have a video on how you group your mods for merging. Considering you have 1326 mods, you must have grouped and merged a lot of them. It would be great to know some details on what you merged in your setup, since you always skip that part. I often run into an issue, where merged mods either don't work, or require patches. For example, mods that include animations and sounds-voices, after merging only work partially, like sounds and animations specifically not working. Do you have a video that describes these intricacies of merging the mods, or do you plan to make one any time in the future. Thanks in advance.

[@SkyrimVictor]

Does anyone know if KS Hairdos Lite is Compatible with these mods for Xbox? Really like the look of these mods but I keep getting gray face for Cicero and he's still wearing his hat were in the Pandorable mod he's not?! Trying to pin down what is causing the grey face bug.

[@MultiversoAranha]

O My Godness.. i Love this

[@jethrobsalfarlie4565]

Cheers Brother awesome

[@jimboeeek]

Also another mod I recommend for PC users (unsure of it's availability on other platforms) LE and SE is "The Ordinary Women", seems to overhaul some of those npc women others might ignore, I use it in combo w Bijin

[@SinitarG]

Ordinary Women was in my previous similar video back in 2018, but Pandorable mods, as for today, cover all the same female NPCs and more - and doing this with a much better aesthetics :)

[@ZEROFLCN]

This is damnn good, i need this

[@adema2313]

Can you do all the mods on this at once? Or do you have to choose between pandorable npc's or bijinn warmaidens and wives?

[@ironswordproductions5529]

Man I can never get enough of all these mods

[@gsimon123]

Refined Volkihar IS Serana to me. Just such a unique look and even though she's obviously very beautiful she's not a pristine supermodel. I oddly feel like that matches the original intent and personality of the character more than a lot of the others

[@PatrickTheDM]

Well done. I can't resist BTRH Waifu in my load order too.

[@dalelesoway2962]

With Bijin you have to use the patches as well?

[@WrongWayExploits]

This is a good video showcasing some great mods to improve npcs looks. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything that improves player models. Anybody know any good mods for making the player model more pretty and not just npcs. After all, there just isn't much point in making everyone in skyrim beautiful while leaving the dragonborn looking like a goblin with a greatsword (or whatever other weapon).

[@fenkefury1482]

You can delete any NPC that you don't like from any mod using xEdit. It's far more simple than I ever imagined. Just don't forget to delete their FaceGens and FaceTints from Data folder. You can go extra mile and even pick NPCs from different mods, then merge them together. That's what I do, but it takes some time.

Face/body colour mismatch and neck seam have nothing to do with mods themselves so there's nothing to "fix". It's a mod conflict which you didn't solve properly in xEdit - and solving mod conflicts is purely on user side.
