SKYRIMLE Ethereal Elven Overhaul by nuska

nexus mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24273/?

I tested this mod and i can´t come back to use the vanilla textures again. It changes all the elven textures with better and more beautiful faces.

 

The bad thing about this mod is it need a lot of patches. But give it a try and you won´t regret it.

I can´t back to use the vanilla elven again. See the differences:

 

A few presets:

I only have one conflict with the Requiem Patch. If I use the patch Irileth appears naked:

any help?

There is already a discussion topic for this mod. I will likely merge the two topics together.

 

The main reason STEP didn't look at this mod further is, well, because (to the STEP staff) it made the elves look like they were contantly doing a duckface, which looks plain off. The post is old, but the mod hasn't been updated since then either.

[Roberbond]

I made a search, as I always do,  and i didn´t find any reference. That is why i open this thread.

 

I don´t understand the duckface. I think vanilla elven looks more than aliens than an ancient race.

Elven in LOTR are described as tall, thin and beautiful creatures. That is the reason Gimli fell in love with Galadriel.

Fortunately or unfortunately, TES ain't LOTR. That being said, I like the Ethereal look very much, unfortunately the mod is no longer supported. I believe EEO has some incompatibilities with the STEP Core Beards mod, specifically with Dunmer males IIRC.

[Smile44]

There is a fix for the beards problem which is the last post on the thread linked above.

Good to know, I may need to take another look at the mod once the STEP Vanilla body replacer gets sorted.

Somebody give me the requiem patch modified and it works fine now:

I have irileth with clothes again!

I do like this mod. Played through with it in my last playthrough, using a version of the Danariel Stormbow character that's on the Nexus. Pity it's not supported any more.

 

But if you want to see what this mod can do, check out that Danariel Stormbow character.

I'm curious if anyone still uses this mod? I'm wanting to get the Mer races a bit of a makeover for my playthrough because when I think of elves I think of a "fair folk" which live a long and healthy life. Here's the lore:

 

A chief distinguishing characteristic of Mer is their lengthy lifespans, with average citizens living over two centuries before being considered old—two or three times the span of Men. Those extraordinarily gifted in magic or alchemy, or favored by the Gods, can endure for millenia with seemingly no ill effects.

 

As such I've always felt the Mer in Skyrim to be too rough around the edges. They all looks as though they've lived 2 centuries already and are getting ready to croak over in the next few years. EEO fixes their appearance to be more inline with my vision of the Mer race to look like. I'm just curious if anyone uses this and what are the issues, if any, with it.

don't forget the trick explained here about a bearb (in the other post about this mod) if you test it again
