Forgotten Realms - Dark Elf/Drow (Drizzt Do'Urden) MOD - posted in Skyrim Mod Requests: AboutEver since I finished Skyrim, especially after experiencing Blackreach, I've had the idea of somehow incorporating the fantastic world and lore of the Dark Elves (or as fans know them, drow) from R.A Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels (especially The Dark Elf Trilogy), into the beautiful world of. Six months ago we were just two people and a lore document with a dream but now after a lot of hard work and recruitment we have become a team of 65 and have started creating a mod that brings to life the world of Valenwood in The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim and are now ready to show the world just what we have been up to.

May 07, 2018 Mod name Notes; Alban Nyr - Dark Elf Character Preset - RaceMenu: Aurora - A Wood Elf Preset: Azurana female Dunmer Preset: Elvara the Dwemer SE: High Elf Preset less ugly: Hime Nyr - High Elf Character Preset: Juli's High Poly Elf Presets: Linda Wood Elf RM Preset: Maren - A Dark Elf Female Preset for RaceMenu: Nikkichu - Dark Elf: Better. UPDATED 3.1 Much smaller filesize, same quality! NOTE: If the file isn't working for you, try using the older version. This does not conflict with detailed eyes or skin mods, however it does with No More Blocky Faces, as both these files are the Normal Maps.

One of the things that definitely hasn’t aged quite well in Skyrim is the way characters look.

It sometimes feels like both men and women could look far more shallow than they do now, which would make the Skyrim experience much easier on the eyes.

In any case, a layer of realism seems to be missing. Which even shows in the presets that you see when you’re first creating your character.

There are countless mods that improve character appearance and make them look like real humans, which makes the game surprisingly better than it already is.

I’ve refrained from adding mods that improve beauty in erotic-packed ways, but I have added one or two mods that do a great job in improving the bodies of characters in the game. Which is always great whether you’re looking for a handsome husband or a gorgeous wife.

20. CharGen Extension

Even though this mod has been already discontinued as it is included in a different package, the standalone version still deserves a place on this list because of how awesome it is (and how good of a tool it also is for modders).

This mod allows you to edit characters better than ever before whenever you visit the character creation menu (even if you trigger it via commands).

19. Superior Lore-Friendly Hair(HD Textures)

Let’s face it – hair in Skyrim just doesn’t look good.

There’s something really off about the way textures seem to work, as it would appear like hair is only one texture on its own and it doesn’t really feel like you could see each individual hair when walking around.

This mod was carefully crafted to make it so every single hairstyle in the game looks much better, which helps Skyrim feel more natural as well. Haircare is very important, after all.

18. Freckle Mania 2

I know – you didn’t know that you wanted freckles in Skyrim before you saw this mod.

Don’t worry, I didn’t know it either!

This mod showed me just how amazing freckles can look and how much natural redhead characters look with such a mod installed.

The mod adds freckles overlays to the characters in the game and it works well for characters that have freckles on their entire bodies.

Just like the CharGen Extension, however, it does require you to have the RaceMenu mod installed to make everything run smoothly.

17. Actually Attractive Elves

Elves are usually known as the most beautiful creatures in most fantasy worlds.

In fact it’s almost unfathomable to think that female elf could be ugly simply because legends say how most elven women are most beautiful creatures in the land.

Sadly this doesn’t seem to be the case in Skyrim.

Some Elves are just plain ugly and they don’t serve the purpose of their history quite well.

Thankfully this mod aims to correct that with an overhaul to the way all elves look.

You’ll notice how Elven women will become 10 times more attractive when creating a new character. This will give you enough defaults to create the female elf of your dreams.

16. KS Hairdos Renewal

Have you ever felt like the base Skyrim hairstyle are quite bland?

Me too, which is why I specifically looked for a mod that corrects this issue.

This mod adds over 600 new hairstyles for women and a little less than 100 hairstyles for men, making it one of the most complete packs of hairstyle that you’ll find on the Nexus.

Options are aplenty when creating a character after this mod is installed.

15. The Eyes of Beauty

Much like the issue with hairstyles, The Eyes of Beauty aims to correct the blandness which you can feel whenever you look any character into their eyes.

It really makes no sense that all eyes are so similar.

It feels like the entire world of Skyrim is lacking in variety. This mod adds many new colors and types of eye shapes to the game, which makes everything look as good as you can imagine(or even better!)

14. KJ Tattoos

Combining this mod with a better body mod would make Skyrim feel a hundred time more realistic.

Come to think of it, it really makes no sense that Nordic warriors only have a couple of types of face paint to choose from to create their traditional markings.

This mod allows your character to be fully tattooed thanks to the meshes that it adds and modifies in the game files.

13. Female Hairstyles with Physics

The days of watching your female character move around with what appears to be a plastic wig on her head are over.

This adds a ton of new hairstyles to the game. All of which are fully animated and move around as your character walks or runs.

It makes women look much better to the eye, and the game feels more natural as a consequence of it!

12. Seductive Lips HD

The maker of this mod has truly put a lot of effort into making the lips of women in Skyrim look like the actual lips of a woman.

As you might’ve noticed before, there really aren’t any significant differences between the lips of a woman and the lips of a man. Except perhaps a bit of shape.

This mod overhauls the way women’s lips look making the game much more akin to reality and helping you get even more immersed with female characters in Tamriel.

And trust me, some of them have some juicy lips.

11. Eyes of Aber

You know what? Not everything needs to be about realism with these beauty mods.

In fact, I’ve been very attached to realism so far and I’ve avoided some pretty exaggerated mods to keep things as natural as possible.

However it wouldn’t be fair to exclude the Eyes of Aber mod from this list.

The work that was put into making these eyes as beautiful as possible is tremendous, and you’re probably going to really enjoy something like this.

It’s a mod that will truly give a unique look to any character to which you want to apply these to.

10. Northborn Scars

How awesome would it be for some characters to have giant scars running across their bodies?

It seems like something Bethesda shouldn’t have overlooked when they first created Skyrim, as it would make sense for people in a land where everything attacks you to be as scared as they get.

Thankfully modders haven’t overlooked this and the Northborn Scars mod is the best out of all mods that add scars to the game.

This will replace all of the scars that come with the vanilla game and add a bunch more detailed ones that look miles better than the originals. The danger is real folks.

9. Better Vampire Fangs & Eyes

There’s nothing scarier than a vampire. Well, at least, that’s what some people think.

However this is far from what Skyrim often reflects.

Vampires in the game just don’t look realistic enough, and the main culprit of it has to be their fangs.

They just look so underwhelming in the game that it makes it almost impossible to get immersed in the fun.
With this mod you’ll be able to speak to vampires and instantly feel fear strike deep inside you.

Their fangs will be way more noticeable and vampires will look better as a consequence of it.

8. WICO – Windsong Immersive Character Overhaul

Things are getting serious now and you’ll notice how the quality of mods from now on seems to skyrocket.

The Windsong Immersive Character Overhaul is literally an overhaul to most characters in the game, which includes those that come with the DLCs.

This makes everything look far better than it does in the base game.

It truly does justice to the reputation of Skyrim and makes things more realistic than you’ve ever seen them.
This is one of the most complete retextures that I’ve ever come across.

If you like things that look vanilla while also completing what’s missing then this mod is exactly what you need.

7. Brows

HD facial hair makes things look far more realistic than they would with regular facial hair, and eyebrows aren’t an exception to this.

In fact, you could keep the vanilla body textures and simply add this amazing Brows mod and people would instantly look far better than they do in the base game.

This one and the Beards mod are must-haves if you want to immerse yourself and have the most realistic of characters possible.

6. Beards

This adds a majestic variety of detailed beards into the game and, as said in the last mod, it’s a must-have.

Especially if you want proper male characters wandering around.

This Beards mod is made by the same person that made the Brows mod, which doesn’t only make them compatible on paper but they also look very similar in the game.

This just adds a new level of beauty and immersion to your characters. And those who feel the need to have the most realistic males out there definitely need to give both of these a try.

5. Total Character Makeover

Okay, okay. This one isn’t really one mod.

However I feel like it’s important to include it as it compiles the best mods ever created for Skyrim in terms of character looks.

The Total Character Makeover is a mod compilation which helps you install some of the best mods ever created in one simple pack.

Most mods that are included here have already been reviewed on this list, and they all work incredibly well together as proven by TCM.

4. Enhanced Character Edit

This mod serves as a way to help you edit characters in a much more natural and realistic manner than what the base game allows.

This adds a ton of new different sliders, modifying different parts of bodies and making characters look even better if you put in a bit of effort to create them.

Pretty cool!

3. Skyrim Glowing Eyes

This is definitely a fan favorite when it comes to eye mods in Skyrim.

Even though the mod isn’t being updated anymore, it’s one of the finest eye mods in the Nexus community and one of the most downloaded beauty mods of Skyrim that you can find online.

Skyrim Glowing Eyes adds a selection of eyes that glow in the dark, which adds some more depth to the game and makes characters either frightening or gorgeous at night.

2. ApachiiSkyHair

This is another great mod for those who feel like the base game is lacking hairstyles.

It doesn’t only add cool new hairstyles for humans, it also makes Orcs and Elves able to select new types of hairs when creating a character of those races.

You might notice how some of these styles look familiar if you’ve played The Sims, The Witcher or even Oblivion.

Most of the hairstyles added with this mod are conversions from styles that were present in other games! Go figure.

1. Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Edition

Okay, this is the one NSFW mod that I had to include here.

Honestly it would not make sense to let this one slip given how detailed it is.

It adds naked textures to both males and females in the game. It also makes both types of bodies fully customizable by adding new sliders which you can easily tweak as you please.

This mod basically allows you to create realistic, custom bodies going as far as your heart desires.

It puts the game on a whole other level and if you don’t mind a bit of NSFW stuff mixed in here then it would be a no-brainer to try this out.

Armor. The main defensive means of any warrior.

Regardless of the quality of your shield, having a decent set of armor can be the decisive factor between life and death.

As good as some base game armors come, there are some things which could be added and improved.

The Skyrim modding community has been developing some incredibly well-made armor mods for years. And since the release of Skyrim for PC the number of mods has only grown larger.

Right now the number of extra armor mods you can download is so large that browsing any Skyrim mod forum will take you hours if you are solely looking for wears!

So I’ve compiled a list of the finest extra armor mods to help you whittle down the best of the best. Be sure to grab anything that looks enticing and just remember these are all totally free!

20. Blades Samurai Armor and Kimonos

Have you ever desired to roleplay a Samurai in Skyrim without breaking the character of the Dragonborn?

Fear not, this mod is exactly what you are looking for.

It adds a variety of heavy armor sets to the game intended to be used by the Blades.

The design fits right in with the Blades’ armors so it is as close to a legit Samurai armor as you will get in the game.

The best thing about this mod is that it also adds weapons with the Samurai theme to the game. Which means you will be able to roam around the plains of Skyrim with your trusty katana and a lust for blood!

19. Ritual Armor of Boethiah

If you are interested in lore-friendly sets of armor this one is going to be just a plain treat.

Those who like to roleplay dark characters might want to give the Ritual Armor of Boethiah a try, as it was a set of armor originally forged by cultists who praised the Daedric Prince Boethiah.

Now you can craft the set of armor yourself and bring terror to the hearts of the innocent in the realm.

18. Goyen, The Draconic Knight Armor

This heavy set of armor once belonged to Goyen, a knight who used to serve the Dragon Kings.

After he was betrayed, the man went on a bloodlust to kill all of the kings, and his armor became a thing of legend.

If you want to get your hands on the set of armor once belonging to this fearsome warrior you will have to kill the boss in Dovah Kendaar Do Jun.

But be warned: you will need to be prepared to face a very strong opponent here. It is an additional set, after all.

17. Alfheim Knights

Have you ever noticed how most sets of armor in Skyrim do not seem to fit Elven characters quite right?

In fact, you would even think Elven characters seem to be made specifically for the purpose of being mages. And using any other type of armor other than a robe would look a bit ridiculous.

There must be a way to fix this, right? Good news – there is!

The Alfheim Knights armor is a set which adapts to an Elven knight almost perfectly.

It belongs to a race of warrior elves who combine both their intuition and the strength of most humans from Skyrim.

16. Warchief Armor

The Warchief armor is very unique, but it somehow does not feel out of place in the game.

The creator of the mod has stated the main goal of this armor was to fuse some of the main aspects of the main warrior races of the game, a purpose which seems to have been diligently fulfilled.

The Warchief armor incorporates bear skin and skulls of slain foes to an otherwise elegant set of fur.

You can use this armor in light as well as heavy versions, so it is up to you to decide how you want to dress for the kill.

15. DreamBurrows Regal Assassin Armor

This set is based on the classic armor sets of Assassin’s Creed. And it has that traditional hood we all fell in love with.

However you can choose how you want to wear this armor: you can craft it as light or create it as clothing.

If you do not want to dress heavily then this is a great set of armor for you to use. Especially for Creed fans who like to intermix their fandoms a bit.

Do keep in mind it is mainly aimed at thieves and assassins, so it may not be the best set if you are roleplaying a knight.

14. Armor of Intrigue

Now this armor can be used by any type of player.

The creators of the mod made sure that you can craft equipment to the armor depending on how you want to play, which means thieves and knights alike will find a use for this highly-detailed set of armor.

It is up to you to decide which elements to add to it.

13. Dragonbone Ebonsteel Armor

Have you ever wondered how the Dragonbone armor would look if it were to be crafted by a smith capable of working with ebony?

This is your answer to an otherwise uncommon question.

Dragonbone Ebonsteel Armor is one of the most beautiful sets on the list. And though it is extremely heavy, it will protect you from all kinds of foes including the mightiest of dragons.

12. Perfect Legionnaire – Imperial Armor Reforged

The armor worn by the Imperial Legion has been a sign of prestige.

And many warriors prefer to wear it proudly, though they do not belong to the Imperial Legion themselves.

This mod aims to overhaul the way the Imperial armor looks by making it slicker and more impressive than in Oblivion and Skyrim. I’d say it turned out pretty well.

11. Lost Paladins of the Divines Wrath Armor

Do you remember that beautiful set of Paladin armor going around back in the days of Oblivion?

This mod is a complete rework of that set which gives you an armored horse with a similar set to the one included for your character.

It is a very beautiful set of armor and it somehow seems to fit perfectly well with the lore of the game.

10. Raven Witch Armor

This female-only armor works best if you intend to wear it with humans only. Which means you will want to avoid trying this dark set on an Argonian for sure.

The mod adds the Apex Werewolf armor to the game which is beneficial and can be crafted if you have the advanced armor smithing perk.

9. DreamBurrows Regal Huntsman Armor

If you have ever wanted to feel like a hunter in Skyrim, but none of the sets included in the base game seem to do the trick, then you will definitely want to check out the Regal’s Huntsman Armor.

It is a beautiful set crafted with fur and adds decent protection on top of a spectacular look that is almost unmatched by any set found in the base game.

Also it’s clearly based on Assassin’s Creed, as is the case with the last DreamBurrows set mentioned on this list.

8. Daedric Reaper Armor

Have you ever felt like the Daedric armor is not as evil as you would like?

Well this Daedric Reaper mod takes the regular Daedric armor one step further and makes it look as if it came straight out of the Diablo universe.

This armor includes a set of two extremely powerful swords along with defensive wear.

And though the set itself does not seem right to be worn by the Dragonborn, it is an awesome and extremely detailed piece of wear you will definitely want to check out.

7. Demon Hunter Armor

This female-only armor, which should honestly be called Demon Huntress Armor, is a detailed piece of leather wear that complements its defensive look with some metal alloys.

The set itself is very lightweight and adapts to most types of playstyles. Although admittedly it looks much better on nimble characters like thieves and assassins.

6. Knight of Thorns Armor

Skyrim Dark Elf Mods

This set, which also includes the Spear of Thorns, is the ideal armor to be worn by a Dark Knight role-player.

The armor adapts to almost any type of body in the game and works with both male and female characters.

It is an extremely powerful set which needs to be uncovered in a coffin located on Serpent Stone Island.

5. Kynreeve Armor

Skyrim Dark Elf Follower Mod

Kynreeve Kahl is a powerful Daedra which can be summoned by the most skilled of Conjurers, provided you have already installed the mod that includes him.

In any case, the armor worn by this Dremora is so beautiful that many players have wanted to get their hands on it for a while.

And this mod makes it possible for you to obtain the set worn by this powerful summonable follower.

You will need to visit the Skytemple Ruins and take a stand against two powerful level 30 Dremora who are waiting for you to take them down.

It’s going to be a tough fight, and it requires you to kill them both if you wish to get your hands on the amazing Kynreeve set. But in my eyes it’s well worth the trouble.

4. Shudad Armor

This amazing set of armor looks to have been brought straight out of a movie set.

It is so majestic and I think you’ll struggle to find anything like it in any mod page. Although you cannot get your hands on this mod using the Nexus browser – it is only available to download via Steam, and the developer is no longer supporting it sadly.

In any case this unique armor is modeled to be worn both by males and females, and its appearance is so mighty, you will look like a holy warrior wearing it.

Lack of updates may be a turnoff but I think it’s so fun that I just had to include this in my top 5.

3. Masters of Death – Rise of the Dark Brotherhood

This mod replaces all of the Dark Brotherhood armors with these incredible sets, which are as beautiful to look at as they are meticulously made.

It is called the Sicarius Armor and it adapts perfectly to any assassin playstyle you might want to follow. As you can imagine, it is based on the traditional Assassin’s Creed style too.

The set does not fall short on detail and it also fits perfectly into the world of Skyrim. Give it a try and see what you think.

2. Silver Dragon Armor

Now this set of dark armor is made to look as if it were a dragon standing.

Skyrim Better Looking Elves Mod

The helmet is one of the most perfectly-crafted I have encountered in the Skyrim modder community, second to none on this list.

Furthermore it provides great defensive attributes and serves as a perfect type of armor to be worn by those who are a bit far away from the light, if you catch my drift.

Traversing through the plains of Skyrim with a dark horse and this set of armor is a thing to behold and you will absolutely love doing so if you download this mod to go along with your journey.

1. Immersive Armors

Created by the same developer of Immersive Weapons, this mod adds new armor types to the game and increases the variety of where they spawn.

Ultimately this makes Skyrim feel way richer than it does when you first download the base game or any of its DLC’s.

All of the armors added with this mod are extremely lore-friendly. And with over 50 sets of armor to choose from it will be hard for you to not find something you like considering everything this mod has to offer.
