SC - Ciri (Patreon)

Ciri is available as a standalone race, you only have to pick her race in the racemenu, it's called Zirael, hard to miss. 

She's already set up and ready to go.

There is also the follower, she's available at Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun. She has no custom armor, so if you want the true Ciri, be sure to use the Witcher-related mods on Nexus.

You can adjust her settings via CK, don't forget to regenerate facegen (ctrl+F4) if you mess with her face (like change her hairdo, add some new tintmasks or change her texture sets).

By default she uses vanilla body with vanilla skeleton, along with Maevan's Mature Skin textures for the body. You can replace that with anything you want 'cause tastes differ and all that crap, following the way described below.

For the body models:

1. Go to "meshes\SC\0_Followers\000_Ciri\Body";
2. Drop your desired meshes there;
3. Drop your desired skeleton;
4. You're breathtaking.

For the body textures you need to do this:

1. Go to "textures\SC\0_Followers\000_Ciri\Body";
2. Drop your preferred textures there;
3. Open included "Masks for body blends.7z" archive, extract the .psd into the folder if you must;
4. Open femalebody textures in a graphic editor of your choice. Open the included .psds;
5. Copy-paste seam files, save the end result;
6. If you get discoloration between the body and the seam, or the specular is too strong/faint, or whatever - adjust that first to better fit the seam color;
7. Save the files;
8. You're amazing.

The mod uses my reworked 4k textures. If you want to make use of the original TW3 ones, follow the steps described below:

1. Go to “textures\SC\0_Followers\000_Ciri\Head”;
2. Delete SC_Head_**.dds textures;
3. Rename TW3_Head_**.dds textures to SC_Head_**.dds.

Her original eye texture is available upon selecting eye color in racemenu.

Optional KS Hairdo's esp changes all humanoid hair entries so she can use any other hairstyles too. Delete it if you want, or don't install it, or whatever. If you have your own hair mod, and want your Ciri to utilize it, do the following:

1. Open the hair.esp in TES5Edit;
2. Make sure you have Automation Tools installed
(here's the link https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49373/)
If you don't have it, you'll have to process every entry one by one;
3. Navigate to hair.esp, go to "Head Part" section;
4. Select EACH AND EVERY head part listed there;
5. Right mouse click - Apply Script...;
6. Choose AT - Quick Change in the drop menu, click OK;
7. In the next window click on the plus a few more times, so you have more lines, and you won't have to redo everything again;
8. Click on the "Add" drop menu, choose "Replace";
9. Do the same to other lines;
10. In the <Path> copy-paste following: RNAM - Valid Races 11. In the <Find> copy-paste following: 

HeadPartsAllRacesMinusBeast [FLST:000A803F] HeadPartsAllRacesMinusBeastVampires [FLST:00107B9A] HeadPartsBretsNordsImpsandVampires [FLST:000F203B] HeadPartsHumansandVampires [FLST:000A8023] HeadPartsHumansOrcsandVampires [FLST:000F5BDF] 

12. In the <Replace> copy-paste following: 

NULL - Null Reference [00000000] 

13. Click OK and wait for the script to finish replacement.
14. Save the plugin.
15. Now the female humanoid hairstyles are available for Ciri too. 

The only downside is that they are also available for all other races as well. But it's better than messing with form lists, preventing any other standalone race mods from using modded hair.

I use the same plugin template, so her voice type is the same as with Yen or Morrigan. Feel free to change that.
