Introduction
After playing a few different mod lists packed with NPC replacers from some very popular & well-known creators, I found myself running into NPCs that either didn't have a replacer at all, the replacer I wanted was part of a larger pack I didn't need or I just simply didn't like what was available.
So here is a library of my own designs; thoughtfully-created NPC replacers that compliment many other popular NPC replacer packs. Each one has taken hours of work; the end result feels unique to who and what they are and fits the overall aesthetics of the other character mods in my game. My secondary motivation is to overhaul some of the minor Skyrim female NPCs that don't seem to get much attention due to their prominence in the game, although I freely admit many of these so far are major characters (Serana especially!).
The list will continue to expand as I have time, motivation and purpose. Don't see anything you like? No worries - track the page and come back to check out new releases as they come out. No interest? No hard feelings here - there are plenty of choices out there. These are my visions, inspired by the greats: Bijin, Modpocalypse, Cuyama, Pandorable, ColdSun, NorthTexan95 and many others.

Instructions:
- Download the Taranis Collection - Asset Pack and install it anywhere in your mod list. There should be no conflicts as this file contains only common meshes and textures and uses a unique file structure.
- Download and install one or more NPCs you want in your game. Make sure the mod files and the ELS-flagged ESP(s) takes priority over any other mod that affects her looks. If you're using an AI Overall/patch you may encounter a black-face, in which case you probably need to update the patch or place this mod's esp file in higher priority.

FAQ:
Q: What happened to 1.0?
A: It existed only in my mind. This version is much better.
Q: CBBE/3BA support?
A: Go here: The Taranis Collection - Handcrafted Ladies of Skyrim - 3BA
Q: Default Body support?
A: These use your default body meshes. To use your own skins, send a request to my friend nazarethblood who does a prodigious number of De-Standalone mods and has exclusive open-permissions on mine.
Q: What about males?
A: Eventually, but it'll be a separate mod library.
Q: Will you make standalone followers for any of these?
A: Sorry, but no. The designs here are exclusive to the NPCs as shown.
Q: Why an asset pack and why so big?
A: The asset pack contains meshes and textures that are used across all replacers on this page. It cuts down on duplicate file overhead when using more than one replacer. The other reason is I'm using 4K textures and high-poly meshes for quality purposes.
Q: Why can't you include bodyslide files?
A: Because these use your default body mesh, not individual body meshes. Check out oBody if you want to customize individual NPC bodies. It's an astonishing well-done mod. Link is below in Recommended Mods.

Support:
Support is limited. I have no way of knowing what mods you use, how tidy your list is and what unresolved conflicts you have in your load order, nor do I have the time to help you figure it out. Read and follow the installation instructions above and use xedit and load order adjustment to resolve conflicts. These mods change looks only, and have been tested on two separate modlist installations that are heavy on the use of NPC replacers & mass-overall mods. Placed properly in the load order, they work as expected.
Common issues may include: Black face, purple textures, neck gaps/seams, indigestion, male/female pattern baldness, cardiac palpitations and heartburn. Most issues can be resolved by load order adjustment, re-downloading either the asset pack, mod or both, or by creating a custom patch. For neck gaps, make sure your NPC's weight is set to game default. Use the list below and set using the setnpcweight <number> command in the console.
