⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust with 45,807 endorsements and 5.8 million downloads.
- Adds cut content, giving you beard styles you can't get in vanilla.
- Simple retexture that keeps the original style but makes it look way better.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Only affects beards, so if you're looking for a full character overhaul, this won't cover hair or faces.
- No detailed install instructions in the description, so you'll need to know how to use a mod manager.
