No More Blocky Faces - by Xenius(01)

You probably all noticed the blocky noses and chins of the human and elven characters in Skyrim. This was caused by compressed object space normal maps. I have smoothed the noses and chins and saved them as uncompressed textures.

Updated version also removes blocky eyelids, ears and lips. Brow ridges and wrinkles have not been removed, only the blocky ones have been smoothed, because I did not want to alter the intended design. This mod affects the following races, male and female including old characters:

Imperial Nord Breton Redguard Dark Elf High Elf Wood Elf Orc

Use 7zip or WinRar to extract the files. Move the Data folder to your Skyrim folder.

You can find the Skyrim folder here: Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim

To those who are new to using Elder Scrolls mods:

- You do not have to extract the .bsa archives. The folder provided by this mod has the same structure as the inside of the .bsa archive, it will override the textures that are included in the .bsa file. - Do not worry about the Data folder that already exists, the folder provided by this mod will be merged with the existing folder, it will not be overwritten.
