"I've thought this through, and it's the only way. She's too far gone, too corrupted by the Hags. At least in death she can be free again... "
After finishing up my Dark Brotherhood overhaul, I noticed the major improvements of those new sculpts I made compared to my older work I've shared on here. When reflecting on these past presets I remembered all the things I SHOULDN'T have done such as lowering eye height to match the ear instead of you know, just making ears higher/larger! Lots of goofy things, but this was ESPECIALLY obvious in my Illia whom I really adore.
I decided to take a break from the current larger overhaul I'm working on and revisit my idea of an Illia overhaul. The original is no longer the type of work I prefer to produce nowadays, as a matter of fact I hate it. I had a ton of trouble implementing her assets and made a few slider uh oh oopsies I should have never done, giving her a 6 head when she's not using the "elvira" hair because of said mistakes, etc...
All the rookie mistakes of NPC modding are quite obvious to me and I wanted to make a new version where I fixed that. I could nitpick it till the cows come home but I'm not going to do that.
Not only that but I felt she was still lacking overall in truly feeling 'Illia'. This time I aimed more for a natural appearance and even used the things I've learned from my previous overhauls to elevate her appearance. I've also did her mother as well so the pair actually match.
Here you have WEEKS, that's right WEEKS worth of work, scrapping/thinking it over until I had a sculpt I felt was truly Illia. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them and bringing these two to life!
I HIGHLY recommend using my Illia with the wonderful Follower Dialogue Expansion as it is very close to how I imagined Illia would be had Bethesda fleshed her out as they did with Serana. I had even designed her with some of the expansions dialogue in mind such as the scars.
Also USSEP since it prevents the dreadful vanilla bug where she disappears from your game forever :c
Feel free to upload your own screenshots, I'd love to see how they'll look in other setups
and if you enjoy it feel free to leave a kind comment and endorse. Thank
you for downloading!

Technical things
- Did not include a USSEP patch since there are so many versions people use nowadays and I don't know which ones to support. I suggest patching for the USSEP version you use for your version of
Skyrim. Regardless nothing broke during my testing without one.
-Illia still uses her vanilla outfit, either SPID her a new outfit or give her something else to wear. I think she looks amazing in the robes I put but sadly it's an LE exclusive mod :c
-Edited Silvias outfit data directly therefore you would have to patch for mods that
also edit her outfit. Since it's outfit entry is only used by Silvia I didn't feel creating a new record was necessary. SPID should work fine AFAIK.

FAQ:
Outfit?
Lind's Spellslinger Outfit, no I won't share my personal port of it. Please do not post links to unofficial ports in the comments, it is against Nexus rules and it's not fair for me to get in trouble because someone can't take a few minutes out of their day to port/find it :)
If you do, your comment WILL BE DELETED.
ENB?
An earlier Discord version of Cabbage ENB/LUX
Texture Specs?
Default
"- Body, hands, head are in 4K. Genitals are 2K, where applicable. - Tint masks (makeup & dirt masks) are compressed (DXT1) in 2K resolution."
Their tintmasks have been exported in 4k resolution(where applicable since
some overlays come in lower resolution) as well since I prefer my NPCs
to be high res :)
If you want lower resolution, I suggest you fire up Cathedral Assets Optimizer and unpack the BSA, lower your textures, and then repack. When
repacking, make sure the BSA keeps the same name otherwise my assets
won't show in game.
FOMOD?
No.
Help! I have the dark face bug!
This plugin was made with the newest version of the Creation Kit, if you're
running an older version of the game I highly recommend installing BEES.
Can you make a version without the skin?
No, I want her to look exactly as she does in my game and Nifskope meshes. NO other skins are allowed. Yes, I know BnP is based on Khisartins Alt skins. No need to remind me :)
Can you remove the outfit edits?
No, part of the fun for me when making these is sprucing up their outfits
and adding personality through little details. I love when NPC authors
include custom assets, this was done from my love and inspiration from
such mods.
Erm why did Silvia get pimped out with accessories and not Illia!?
I didn't feel Illia needed anything, she doesn't strike me as one to wear ornate/fancy things. Even if she had jewelry, the other witches or her mother would probably take them away. Silvia's gear is my interpretation of ceremonial dress for her transformation into a hagraven :)
Can you make it a standalone follower/replacer for a different NPC?
Absolutely not. I made these presets specifically with these characters in mind and ONLY these characters! I will NOT use use this sculpt for another NPC.
Preset?
No. Please respect this, I will not upload it no matter how much you beg.
Dawn, for the love of gods please don't remove your older version, PLEASE I BEG-
I won't.
Waaah!!! Waaaah!! Waaaah!! Her scars are not super sexy and vewy hawt!!! She no make me want to touch my molag bals!!!!
Shut up.
Waaah!!! Waaaah!! Waaaah!! She has too much makeup and is not realistic enough, medieval people never-
Shut up.
Can you make the face 100% symmetrical? Her eyes are kind of uneven and-
NO. Not only is it a standard mesh issue with HPH, but no one in real life has a perfectly symmetrical face, this is the biggest thing to notice if you're aiming for realism. ABSOLUTELY no one's face is perfectly symmetrical and if you think this touch grass.
Could you remove this or add that-
No.
Pretty pleeeasse???? If you do I'll download and endorse!
NO.
She's ugly or nose is too big and jaws and chins needs to be thinner, I
prefer less realism in my-
TF you here for then!!!?? Go download something else, damn!
