Skyrim SSE is very interesting to mod, and it’s got some quirks. I wanted to see if I could get my characters into it and have them look more-or-less similar. This took a lot more effort than anticipated:

Ahtar says if you start out as an ugly bastard that there’s not much room to go downhill…

And of course Ahtar says there are some faces only a mother could love–
