Rugged Beauty
This module includes skins to help you create your perfect character. All races and genders are included to carry the aesthetic throughout the game while fitting to your load order and file size needs.
Features
Natural Athleticism
This module creates a more rugged, classic skin set that covers all races. Men and women have aged more appropriately with updated scars, freckles, body hair, and moles. Women have a defined abdomen, thighs, calves, arms, and shoulders. Men are broad-shouldered, a bit rougher around the edges, with properly proportioned muscles, and body dimensions.
Custom meshes were used to reduce the mesh seam gap that can occur around the neck, wrist, and ankles. We cannot fully remove it, as they are separate meshes, but it’s reduced to near 0.
All-new body meshes
- Realistically proportioned; anatomically-correct
-
UNP Style Female Meshes: body, feet, hands

FAQ
A. Because it is a different mod
A. You are using a custom animation pack that attempts to hijack the hand meshes to show a different pull string. This is a conflict that cannot be fixed. Either do not use the custom animation or do not use body meshes that include hands.
A. The light rendering in the Alternate Start cell highlights the meshes in strange ways. Once you leave the cell, the lighting should be fixed. If the seam occurs outside the Alternate Start cell, exit to the dashboard, close Skyrim completely, reload Skyrim, and then reload your save game.
A. No. The goal of this skin series is to be comprehensive so that the aesthetic carries through the entire game and not just the player character.
Place any beast race meshes and textures underneath to override.
A. The characters were created with sliders from DPOS. It gives you 1 million possible combinations. Try it out yourself.
You’re welcome.
