hello, readers of this topic.

i played skyrim for like 600 hours now and really want to make another character.

now i thought it would be cool to make myself in the game so i added some mods like young male face texture and apachiiskyhair

but i really cant seem to make a face that looks just the slightest part like me.

now i would like to ask if there are any modders or players who would like to take the challenge.

i would be very gratefull if someone would make a acharacter that looks like me and would upload it so i can dowload it.

thanks to everyone who reacts.

if anyone reacts to this topic i will sent some pictures btw.

hm, i did the same for one of my characters. i can only give you some general advice though:

racemenu from the nexus. get it. it allows for way more options than the vanilla game. textures only go so far. but having full controll over facial features really does help alot.

artistic representation: you will not get your charater to look like you! i tried, i thought i did. then i stepped into a dark dungeon and the character looked completelly different. you need to find a good average, that resembles you under most lighting settings. Skyrim facial features simple react differently to light/darkness than real faces to. what looks close to you at bright sunlight does not have to look close to you at night.

know yourself: this is very important. rince and repeat with consecutive improvements on the character in game (Race menues export/import function does help), but in between, look into the mirror. at first i thought i had pronounced cheekbones, so i went for that but only got so far. turns out i simply have small and slit eyes. or at least this was the features, that got my friends to recognize that the character on screen should resemble me. take your best approach, and look at it from different angles, light from different directions. then try the same IRL in front of a mirror and be observant. trying to model you after some screenshots will likelly not give good results either, if you do not provide diverse screenshots.

also: this guide helped me a lot. while it is focussed on creating a beautiful character, many of the aspects discussed can be applied to creating something else (which is not to say that you may not beautiful )

I can make a character that looks like me or close to it. However I practiced back in Oblvion to be able to do this. There was a mod that added numerical values to the sliders in Facegen, and some websites that published those values so we could recreate certain character looks. What I learned from this is, if you keep most of your sliders in the middle third of the range, you will look the most natural and have a better chance of recreating you.

What can help is to slick your hair back (wet if needed), or pull it back to a pony tail and take a frontal picture, a profile picture and a 3/4 view picture of your face. Then you can model the sliders after that. Also, pay attention to the sliders that move other sliders. Move those first, then the sliders that are dependent on this. You will see which sliders they are by moving them and seeing what else moves with it.

This can help, it has some characters with screen shots of the sliders. Find one that sort of has your face structure, model that, then tweak it.
