Inhabitants of Skyrim - NPC Overhaul is a free, fan-made expansion mod developed for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It allows you to update the appearance of the NPCs in the game. After the mod is installed, the side characters in Skyrim are given new facial features and haircut styles.

This mod is comparable to other cosmetic expansion packs mods, such as Skyrim - Flora Overhaul Mod. Inhabitants of Skyrim is designed to allow the player to adjust game graphics while ensuring the original gameplay remains unaffected. It makes it well-suited for gamers who want to replay Skyrim with a new, unique look.

New faces for existing characters

As stated in the official documentation, this mod aims to make game characters "prettier." The process involves adjusting the positions of facial features, removing wrinkles, and removing dirt from textures. It also adds more realistic haircut styles. These updates can be applied to most of the characters, except minor ones like miners.

Three versions you can choose

Inhabitants of Skyrim - NPC Overhaul comes in three different versions. The difference between them is the way they handle hair. Version 1 gives both male and female characters realistic hair, while Version 2 only gives female characters new hair. In version 3, haircut styles remain unchanged and instead alters the facial features.

Compatibility issues

As is generally the case with game mods, you should be wary of compatibility issues when Inhabitants of Skyrim is used alongside other mods, particularly those that alter the appearance of characters. Another potential issue is that, on some computers, the realistic hair will cause lagging.

For those who enjoy customization

The target audience of the mod is players who pay close attention to in-game graphics and enjoy tweaking various elements to suit personal tastes. So if you have a desire to see the Skyrim NPCs made more pretty, this mod will suit you perfectly.
