Then and Now..., Character Changes! Options

[TrisRed]

Hello!

This is a thread dedicated to showing how your character/s (assuming you still play only one character, or have made different incarnations of characters) have changed over time. For example, if you use mods, show us how they
before mods, then how they looked after.

If you play vanilla and have made different incarnations of your character over time, show us! I'll get the ball rolling.

This is how Lissa looked before any mods were used, followed by her overhaul versian. I used a HGEC for the body and a skin retexture mod. I wanted her face to look natural, but not entirely flawless, so this mod worked perfectly for me
Ill only post the one pair for now...

So neat to revisit the histories of enduring friends like Lissa, Jerric and Lothran. I can't help but love all of them - in all their variations!

Ghastley, I vividly remember when you gave Clark his makeover. He has come so far - from meager reporter to Earl!

I have always loved Lissa’s light and carefree spirit. She is a girl who lives her life in Cyrodiil to the fullest.

The most precious memory of Jerric is when he gave Buffy a butterfly toe ring enchanted with resist frost. I doubt he realized at the time that his kind thoughtfulness would capture a piece of her heart.

And Buffy can never let her thoughts pause long on Lothran without recalling the first time he and Aetherius went riding with Buffy and Superian in the Jeralls. The snowflakes dancing in his white hair will always be a piece of lingering magic in Buffy’s heart.

Given enough time, we all tend to evolve. . .

Buffy 1.0 was created in April 2009. I’m quite pleased with what we were able to do using pure vanilla.

Buffy 1.5 was tweaked with a simple cosmetic compilation mod and continued in the same game. I quite like the look, but we had to be careful when it came to lighting and close-ups, as the mods (and my skill at the time) could not really eliminate the vanilla blotchiness to her complexion or the imperfections in her lips.

Due to some tech problems, there came a time when we had to restart her game. We took advantage of advances in mods to rebuild Buffy 2.0 as her own custom race. What I really like about 2.0 is her much clearer complexion that is now quite tolerant of close-ups, and her gracefully curved ears.

In total, her two games span over 3600 hours of gameplay. Throughout, she has remained equally precious to me, regardless of appearance.
