About this mod

This is a standalone NPC replacer to give Mikael a new look that suits the boastful bard. Flagged esl.

USSEP patch included in Miscellaneous files

I hope you enjoy my very first mod on Nexus!
Please feel free to post or message me if you have any issues or questions. I am new to modding, and therefore new to publishing.

That Bard, Mikael...You know, the one boasting at the Bannered Mare, begging for a dagger at his throat? He fancies himself a heartthrob and tries to look the part. I wanted to give him a look which reflected that.

This standalone replacer may look different in your game than it does in my screenshots, depending on what body/skin mods you have
installed, as well as lighting, etc.

Constructive feedback is welcome and appreciated. I would love to see screenshots of how he looks in your game! 


For those of you who use The Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch: I will be updating soon with either a patch for USSEP (once I learn how, which I am sure is simple enough with Xedit), or a USSEP-dependent version. For now Mikael will likely not sleep in the right bed, etc. Apologies, I overlooked that little detail.
There is now a patch for it in Miscellaneous files. Requires USSEP obviously. Flagged esl. (It should work just fine, all it does is allow him to sleep in the correct bed, which I tested (see screenshots), and give him the intended dialogue should he inherit the Bannered Mare. However, let me know if it doesn't do this)

Recommended Mods

Here is a list of mods seen in the screenshots in addition to the assets I used to make the replacer (linked in Credits). Check
them out here on Nexus:

Tempered Skins for Males (nsfw)

Highly Improved Male Body Overhaul-HIMBO- (nsfw)

Subsurface Scattering Shaders for Skins 

Community Shaders

Skyward ReShade

Future Plans:



Some slight adjustments to the hairline (once I figure out Outfit Studio. The issue is barely noticeable, but let me know if it bothers you, it may motivate me)

Possibly adding an option for this to be a replacer for JosephRussel’s Lucien-Immersive Fully Voiced Male Follower, because I think the look
fits him well (personally I would give him a different hairstyle—but that is what wigs from hair mods are for)


More Standalone NPC mods! I have Ysolda, Balgruuf, and Ulfric in the wings right now. Check back later!



Special thanks to Knight Radiant and Lily Elimvaal for patiently walking me through how to make an NPC Replacer, including how to use the various programs needed.
