📌 hi! my name is mia (27, any pronouns) and this is my tes sideblog. my main blog is @greatrune & my art blog is @wra1thguards. my main tes ocs are fehn (ldb) and galis (hok).
apparently youre supposed to perform. they love it when you perform. but it has to be authentic. they hate it when it's not authentic. but you have to perform.
my issue with fehn as a character is that i always want her to be/represent 50 things at once. i want her to be fascinated with dwemer tech and have some tie to the numidium. i want her to have some tie to the events of morrowind. i want her to have some tie to the events of redguard. help

i like it when mages get like nosebleeds and migraines from pushing themselves too far with magic. i think this is happening to miraak all the time post-apocrypha bc he’s grasping for a power level he no longer possesses
Pictured: Some early screenshots of Morrowind before its release. A lot of changes can be noticed in these screenshots between these and the final release. For example, one features an actually working gondola.
These are some mods (some just for character creation, some that apply to all characters) I use regularly. This does include some mods I've made, obviously.
For RaceMenu, specifically overlay mods, check out this list I made.
Buckle in, it's a long one!
Bodies
I use CBBE and HIMBO (nevernude) to customize bodies a bit, though I definitely stay fairly Vanilla. NSFW pics in below links.
For men, I like The Common Guy.
For women, I use my own Vanillaesque preset which I like to pair with this mod Female Hands Redone
Honorable Mentions:
Almost Vanilla - Himbo
REACHbody CBBE
Realistic Body Presets CBBE
Retextures
Skin
I pick Tempered Skins for the fellas mostly because it has an option for a 'Sleek' body diffuse: meaning, you can actually have a texture that doesn't have an 8-pack. My main complaints are that it can wash out some skin colors and the ears look pretty bad (then again, I haven't seen any skin mod that fixes this.)
For the ladies, Reverie is genuinely my favorite texture out there. I like the option for adding body hair (including arms, armpits and legs!) because most ladies in Skyrim aren't gonna bother with shaving every day. Works great with all skin tones.
Mild Complexions
What it says on the tin, makes complexions slightly less extreme.
Hair
Sassy Salt and Wind Hair Retexture
Self-plug here, my attempt at making Salt and Wind a little more gritty. Covers both Vanilla and KS Hairdos. I also use my hair recolor addon, and my Beards recolor, otherwise colors look a little off IMO.
SC - Vanilla Hair Retex (Tiled Textures only)
I just use the tiled textures from SC's, which are mostly used for Redguard and some Orc hairs. My normal edits make them a lot less shiny than the original.
Eyes
Fia's Eyes
I really like the style of these eyes, though I did replace the eyelashes in my own game. Really offers nice variety while keeping the racial variations in scalera and pupils.
ESO-Style Bosmer Eyes
My own addon, gives Bosmer eyes the star-shaped pupils they have in ESO.
Teeth
Setup for simple, natural, 2D teeth (I think 3D is way overkill.)
Miggyluv's Natural Teeth (Simple Teeth Overhaul)
Orcodontist
Miggyluv's Natural Orc Teeth (for Orcodontist)
Meshes
High Poly Heads (EFM version)
I highly recommend installing the original Expressive Facegen Morphs and both Expressive Facial Animation (Male and Female) mods and letting HPH overwrite them. Also, this fix for male eyebrows.
Closed Mouths for Orcs
Covers orcs' bottom teeth (minus the tusks of course), a must-have. Gonna try it out with Alternate High Poly Head eventually.
Vanilla Hair Remake (non-SMP)
Admittedly, I use a highly edited version of this mod, one that I've taken the braids from High Poly Vanilla Hair and replace VHR's braids with.
HammerHair
A hearty selection of hairs for Redguards (finally!)
Orc Brow Horns
Another of my mods, removes the green tint from Orc's brows horns (optionally adds them as scars for mixing and matching and more.)
Cuyi's Bosmeri Antlers
Love these to pieces, a must for Bosmer players.
Brows
Brows
Kalilies Brows (plus HPH)
LM's Eyebrows (Standalone)
LM's Dual Brows (Standalone)
Blackmoon Brows
LDD - Detailed Eyebrows for HPH
Plus my own edits for Male brows
Khajiit
Khajiit Overhaul (Plantigrade version)
The high poly heads included with KO are a LOT nicer than HPH's, IMO.
That being said, the male head is a little wonky, so I use this preset as a base. katie and vaharadaro have some excellent presets for KO.
Khajiit Character Creation Extended
More RaceMenu sliders for your Khajiit.
Khajiit Male Lion Textures
Lioness Look
I pair the diffuses from these mods with the normals from CoverKhajiits. I personally like the cleaner look of lion textures, as they let the warpaint/overlays show up clearly. CoverKhajiit's normalmaps have a nice furry look to them.
ESO-Inspired Eartufts
Khajiit Ear Fluff
3D Khajiit Brows
Argonians
Argonian Creation Extended
The Argonian equivalent of K.C.C.E.
Sassy's Personal Argonian Texture Mashup
Argonians Are Not Mammals
Finally, boobless Argonian ladies!
Reptilian Argonian Feet (plus my extension)
Weight Slider Affects Argonian Tails
Better Argonian Horns
Kabu's Argonian Fins
Aquatic Elegance - Argonian Koi Whiskers
Argonian Face Horns
Argonian Crests
Beast Races - Shared
Beast HHBB (player only)
Better Beast Race Scars
LM's Beast Teeth (plus my KO patch)
Better Claws and Gauntlets - DAV (plus my patch for Female Hands Redone)
hold on let me try to invent a version of myself who can get us out of this mess [holds really still for a minute and a half and then turns to you with a flat affect] we probably should have killed ourselves an hour ago
