Category: High-fantasy / Daedric-inspired face preset

- Download the preset file (usually a
.nif file or a file to be placed in the SKSE/Plugins/CharGen folder).
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) or Vortex to install the file.
- Important: Check the mod description for required skin textures and eye meshes. Many Daedric presets rely on specific "Demonic" eye packs or skin overlays to look like the preview images.
BodySlide and Outfit Studio: Often used in tandem with the face preset to ensure the character's body matches the "Daedric Pei" silhouette, which is frequently built using the BONOBODY or CBBE 3BA frameworks. Daedric Pei Face Preset
✦ Best Paired With
- Daedric armor or robe mods (dark metallic, bone, or leather).
- Custom eye mods (glowing or cat-slit pupils).
- War paint and scar packs – to add ritualistic markings.
- ENB or lighting mods that emphasize shadows across the face.
- RaceMenu: Essential. Without it, sculpt data cannot load.
- High Poly Head (1.4 or newer): Non-negotiable. The preset’s geometry relies on the extra vertices this mod provides.
- Expressive Facegen Morphs: This allows the "Pei" expression—the hollowed cheeks and tense brow.
- Textures: You cannot use vanilla skin. Top recommendations include Tempered Skins for Males (for a rugged, veiny look) or The Pure (for an unsettling, porcelain-demon vibe). For true Daedric flavor, Daedric Skin Texture or Dark Souls Darkwraith retextures are preferred.
- Eyes of Beauty (or Aberrant Eyes): For that glowing, non-human iris.
