Jun 11, 2014 Male Face Textures. UPDATED JULY 21, 2015: Check out my new male face texture comparisons here! My biggest complaint about vanilla Skyrim males is how old and beat-down all the male characters looks – even the ones who are supposed to be in the prime of their youth. Better Males fixes all that with these mods: Geonox Faces; Geonox Faces. CBBE, due to its UV map, won't support vanilla textures without getting seams everywhere. Your best bet is simply to install a better texture pack for CBBE. SG Renewal is a good 'compromise' ground. For best realism, and what I personally use-look up True Daughters of Skyrim. For example I have mod-A providing all 3 required things. But somehow mod-X provided only mesh and texture, causing the game to read mod-A's ESP, and mod-X's mesh and texture, conflict happens. //-Fixing dark face problem. First, we need to get the troubled NPC's Base ID. She comes out beautifully. Only her skin texture is like a whiteish-purple for all but her face, hands and feet. Edit: Seems it works for 1/2 a second when you load the preset it shows the correct CBBE skin and then after 1/2 a second she goes all white single texture:/.
This is a test version of the female skin texture replacer,created specially for redguards/characters with dark skin complexion.
*Diffuse maps only
*UNP/CBBE body
*Vanilla head
*Face texture resolution is 4K,body - 4K,hands - 2K.

Tested with Fair Skin Complexion and UUFR msn.
I suggest to use it with a custom race,so it will not affect NPC's,because it will not work well with all basic skin tones.
*Added her face sculpt and .jslot preset.
Required mods: Maevan2's Eye Brows,Precious style eyes,High Poly Head
Skin tone color in race menu,used for the character,shown here: ■

Cbbe Face Pack
I just upgraded to a brand new computer, so I wanted to revamp my Skyrim game with the best mods my new rig can handle. Naturally, after vanilla-ing my game and installing some choice ENB mods, I wanted to overhaul my characters to look as realistic as possible. I’ve been using the same face texture mods for over a year and I decided to explore all the other mods out there – here is a comparison (from best to worst) of all the face texture mods I tried:
TL:DR; The best female face texture mod IMHO is SG Female Face Textures Renewal!
*All the following photos are taken in the same location/lighting using a modified version of the Poupouri Morning Star ENB (less saturated, more sub-surface scattering). All the face settings for the character are exactly the same in each photo.

As you can see, the vanilla Skyrim female face texture is a little (lot) haggard. There are some weird coloring issues, like the dark rings around the eyes and the white ring around the mouth. The lips are just one pale mess with no amount of dimension. All in all, not very cute.
SG Female Face Textures Renewal [rating: 10/10]
This is my personal favorite – I like that the eye area is a little brighter, giving my character a fresh and awake look. I also like the lip texture, which has just the right amount of gloss. My only complaint is that the skin is a little too flawless, but that can be easily “corrected” with some dirt/scar overlays.
Real Girls Realistic Body Texture for UNP [rating: 9/10]
This mod gets a close second place rating from me. It looks very fresh and clean. If you’re into the no makeup look, this is a great mod option. The only thing I don’t love is that the skin texture has some red undertones that look weird with my ENB (but it may not be a problem if you’re not using an ENB).
Women of Skyrim [rating: 8/10]
Here’s another texture mod that I think is great. The baseline eyeliner is a bit too dark for my taste, but I like the baseline lip color especially the matte quality that it has. The skin texture itself looks pretty realistic as well, with visible pores and fine lines.
Coverwomen [rating 5/10]
There are 4 different version of the Coverwomen mod and I tried them all. I thought the eyes were a little too mascara-y and the lips were too pale. The mod made my characters all look like they were wearing glittery stripper makeup, except for version 4 of Coverwomen, which made my character look washed out and eye baggy.
Mature Skin Texture and Body [rating 5/10]
I used the “young” version of this skin texture on my character and it made her face look really saggy. I will say, the skin texture itself looks realistic, so if you’re making an older character, it could work really well for you. But, I don’t recommend using the “young” setting to make a “young” character.

Skyrim Nexus Face Mod
I tried both the standard v3 version of this mod and the no makeup version. As you can see, the standard version’s makeup is super intense. I don’t love it – she looks like a drag queen Barbie doll. The “no makeup” version is slightly better, but the lips are still weirdly shiny and there’s too much glitter going on for my taste.

Cbbe Texture Error Skyrim
This texture is way too smooth and plasticky for me. The nose shadow in particular is very slight, so it gives my character a one-dimensional Voldemort-like look. This texture could be good if you’re looking to make a very CGI/anime looking character, but it’s not very realistic.
