Let me explain before you think I'm some teenaged scrub.

I use SkySights Skins Male Textures for the males in Skyrim, and this is probably my favorite male retexture of all time. Stays strictly vanilla while enhanicng the detail greatly. Unfortunately, there is no female version of SkySights as of yet.

As a temporary replacement until the Sky Sights Female Textures Edition comes out, which female retexture should I use? I know that "best" is opinionated, so just tell me what your favorite female retexture is that fits my criteria. The crieteria is simple:

• Doesn't turn women into Barbie Dolls

• Enhanced detail without going against the lore

That's pretty much it, really. I've seen mods like Coverwomen that makes them look like prosttutes, and that's not how I want to play my Skyrim.

Have you tried Mature Skin Texture? It supports most of the popular body types and there is couple of options. My favorite is "clean" cbbe version.

Search nexus for "Alt Navetsea UNP Seamless"

Your criteria is the same as mine

Choose a texture size, install with NMM, or Wrye Bash, or MO

You dont need anything else except armour and clothing made to fit UNP - see description for vanilla versions of those

Whether it is best or not, imho it is

But it may not go well with other mods head / tintmask / tattoos etc etc textures. Seamless only works with just this mods textures

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/45453/? (the non-sunburned version) with the .msn files from http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/44979/? gives the best result I've found so far - highly detailed faces that look good in all lighting conditions, while staying true to the vanilla faces.

Also looks pretty good next to FadingSignal's male textures!
