The mod adds freckles overlays to the characters in the game and it works well for characters that have freckles on their entire bodies. This mod showed me just how amazing freckles can look and how much natural redhead characters look with such a mod installed. I know – you didn’t know that you wanted freckles in Skyrim before you saw this mod. This mod was carefully crafted to make it so every single hairstyle in the game looks much better, which helps Skyrim feel more natural as well. There’s something really off about the way textures seem to work, as it would appear like hair is only one texture on its own and it doesn’t really feel like you could see each individual hair when walking around. Let’s face it – hair in Skyrim just doesn’t look good. This mod allows you to edit characters better than ever before whenever you visit the character creation menu (even if you trigger it via commands). CharGen ExtensionĮven though this mod has been already discontinued as it is included in a different package, the standalone version still deserves a place on this list because of how awesome it is (and how good of a tool it also is for modders).

Which is always great whether you’re looking for a handsome husband or a gorgeous wife. I’ve refrained from adding mods that improve beauty in erotic-packed ways, but I have added one or two mods that do a great job in improving the bodies of characters in the game. There are countless mods that improve character appearance and make them look like real humans, which makes the game surprisingly better than it already is. Which even shows in the presets that you see when you’re first creating your character. In any case, a layer of realism seems to be missing. It sometimes feels like both men and women could look far more shallow than they do now, which would make the Skyrim experience much easier on the eyes.

One of the things that definitely hasn’t aged quite well in Skyrim is the way characters look.
