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.

All this has really made me appreciate the amazing community we have to mod Skyrim. Things we sometimes take for granted like MO2 and xEdit are incredible tools that make life so much easier. Mod authors that work endlessly to keep their work current and compatible are so valuable in keeping this community alive and thriving, even after 9 years. This one and the Beards mod are must-haves if you want to immerse yourself and have the most realistic of characters possible. Check Out This Mod. 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.

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.

Skyrim Long Beard Mod

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.

In the Sims 4, you can be whoever you want.

Whether you want to create an exact clone of yourself (minus the childhood trauma), a bloodsucking vampire (minus actual eternal damnation) or even live in the world of Star Wars (minus Darth Vader breathing down your neck), expansion packs and the abundance of CC make it ridiculously easy to create your own world.

Vikings are a popular choice among Simmers who want to live their Nordic fantasy. So popular that before the Star Wars expansion was revealed (Journey to Batuu), fans thought The Sims would finally explore the life of these seafaring Norse people with a Vikings expansion.

Alas, that was not the case.

Don’t fret, though!

Even if your Viking knowledge is limited to The Mighty Thor and his trusty Mjolnir, we won’t judge. Just dive into our list of some awesome Viking mods & custom content below. Get your Viking on!

10. Fur Cloak

Kicking our list off is a fur cloak created by Natalia Auditore.

Fur was definitely in during the Viking Age.

Vikings created these from animal pelts collected from hunts to keep them warm during those long travels at sea and when winter comes (with or without frost zombies). Nobody probably told them that they’d rather be naked than wear fur during those times.

Both males and females can use the cloak with 10 color swatches to choose from.

The cloak will pair well with chain mail and warrior costumes plus a furry boot. Rumors have it that it goes well with the birthday suit too… but you didn’t hear that from us.

100% guaranteed to make you feel fresh while entering Valhalla.

9. Viking Costume

You don’t need to come from Scandinavia and speak Old Norse to sport this Viking costume by Alial Sim.

In fact, you don’t need to be a Viking to wear this at all.

So go on, dress for the job you want!

This legit-looking costume is so far from the supermarket costumes that you see every time October rolls around.

It features a cat emblem on the chest plate, which is the favorite animal of the fertility goddess Freyja. Not tested to raise your Charisma. WooHoos are not guaranteed.

8. Vikings Shield

When you decide to role play, man, you gotta commit.

However, the lack of Viking items in The Sims 4 can make it a bit hard to. But commit you shall with this Vikings shield created by Zaneida.

This is a wooden wall decoration that comes in 6 designs, perfect to adorn your home at Jomsborg.

Unfortunately, your sim can’t carry this around and add to their fitness points (these things are heavy!)

But they will give your abode a nice feel that says “I may look skinny but I got shields”.

7. Celtic Dress

Is your Sim a bored housewife, tired of sewing all day long while waiting for your seafarer Viking man to come home from all of his exciting adventures?

Same.

Look the part with the Celtic Dress Number 2 created by Historical Sims Life.

The dress comes in 9 muted colors and can be paired well with side braids to complete your longing Norse housewife look.

6. Viking Earrings

Love Vikings and the Norse lore but want to keep it on the down-low?

Cosplay not for you?

Keep it simple with these Viking earrings by Genius666. The earrings are reminiscent of old Norse symbols and feels close to Freyja’s symbol.

Again, WooHoos are not guaranteed!

This earring is fashionable enough that it can be paired with modern clothing, and best worn with formal dresses.

5. Viking Hat

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is really no historical evidence that Viking helmets had horns.

But it totally looks cool right? High five, pop culture!

Don’t listen to the nay-sayers and get this Viking Hat by necrodog.

Originally from TS2, necrodog decided to convert this for TS4.

It has all the elements to make a Viking: horns, fur and Nordic symbols. Now all you need is a ship and you’re all set.

This will totally go nicely with Alial Sim’s Viking costume included above.

4. Ragnar Hair

No one’s slick as Ragnar, no one’s quick as Ragnar. No one’s neck is incredibly thick as Ragnar’s.

Wait, I think we got the wrong guy. Anyhoo…

Ragnar Lodbrok is a name every Viking enthusiast should know. He was a legendary king and was the main protagonist of the hit show Vikings, where Leah Lilith obviously patterned this hair after.

This hair comes in 42 swatches, wearable both by men and women. Could also totally be a modern day hair of a guy you see buying a pack of Four Lokos in the gas station.

3. Maze Hair

I mentioned earlier that it doesn’t matter if your Vikings knowledge only is limited to Thor.

If you’re still here, I gotchu fam.

Skyrim Long Beard Mod 1.8.9

The Maze hair by Becca is almost identical to what the God of Thunder sports.

Effortless and stylish, it ensures that not too much hair goes in your eyes while you fly across Asgard.

It’s available for male teens to elders and comes in a whopping 73 colors, but let’s be real here.. you know you’re gonna use that blonde.

2. The Fluff Beard

Viking beards aren’t always long and lushy.

A budding Viking probably spent months or even years growing that baby out.

Relive that process with Igor Sims’ The Fluff beard, or as we like to call it – the beard starter pack.

This CC comes in 18 swatches and two versions, with and without a handlebar mustache.

Cause let’s face it, ain’t no Viking got time to style that.

1. Stormheim Beard

It seems like Vikings would’ve gotten their Viking card revoked without the absence of a long, luscious beard.

As their ancient saying goes: the longer the beard, the closer to Odin.

Skyrim Long Beard Mods

Okay, just totally made that up… doesn’t make it untrue, though!

Have you seen a more lush set of beard than this Stormheim beard from Valhallan sim? A conversion from one of the races in arguably the most popular MMORPG out there, the beard comes in all of the existing hair swatches.

Beards Skyrim Mod

Now it’s not compatible with hats, but with a beard looking like this.. do you need more accessories?
