Breton Preset

About this image

About this mod:
The Book of Faces is my collection of presets for RaceMenu. The Vanilla Presets Upgrade is an attempt at taking the existing vanilla Skyrim presets and turning them into more diverse and realistic people. Yes, even the elves! These are RaceMenu and do not overwrite the existing game presets (as I have no idea how to do that, nor want to, so that problems with compatibility won't show up).

Some of the presets may be almost identical, others will be more unique, depending on how much they resembled one of the previous presets and how much I thought a
change would improve them. See pictures for comparison. The presets are faces only! For body modifications you'll have to look further into Nexus and the authors you can find here.

The faces I am creating are in first place meant to be interesting and hopefully unique. If they are pretty or not is second to that, especially since beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone has different tastes. My main goal is to stay away from conventional, classical beauty standards (as seen by the current magazine covers and their "have seen that one a thousand times already" faces). That said, even then, some of them may end up being bland and classical, especiallyas I'll try to stay true to the vanilla presets, where it is possible.

Disclaimer:

None of my presets were made from photos of real people or using presets from other authors, but it may be, that some will remind you of somebody - coincidences happen. (Or my mind has played a trick on me; two of my presets did unintentionally end up looking like actresses from the old days from my country. Thus the disclaimer.)
