This replacer marries two high quality Nexus mods by giving Auri from Song of the Green the appearance of Lenka.
In addition I gave Lenka antlers, bringing her closer inline with Auri's base appearance, and also included an optional download to give Lenka Auri those sharp teeth she is so proud of! (Courtesy of KreaQ, mod author of M'rissi)
Old Nexus Mod Manger users, use this file at your own risk.
The old, pre-Vortex NMM's handling of mod installations can easily lead to disaster. If you are not supremely confident in your ability to solve your own problems in NMM, I strongly suggest you skip this mod until you've upgraded to a more robust mod manager.
This mod was tested thoroughly with Mod Organizer 2 and works exactly as intended. It can be installed and uninstalled mid-game without issue.
If you break Auri, you are on your own. You have been warned.

- Body Mesh: Uses default body meshes and fully supports custom body shape through RaceMenu's BodyGen feature (see below).
- Body Textures - Default: Packaged with Lenka's Bijin skin textures (CBBE & UNP options in download).
- Body Textures - Custom: Can be manually replaced with your textures of choice.
- Body Textures - Vanilla: Vanilla option under Downloads for people who use neither CBBE or UNP body replacers.
- Antlers: Uses default deer textures. Will change according to any deer textures you install.
- Sharp Teeth: Optional download to give Lenka Auri sharp teeth.
BodyGen is a feature of Expired's RaceMenu for Skyrim LE / SE (and LooksMenu for Fallout 4) which allows you to assign different CBBE (or UNP) presets to NPCs without having to create unique meshes for each one. In other words, it means you no longer have to worry about unique body meshes and outfits to give different NPCs different body shapes. You can assign presets by gender, race and / or individual NPCs.
If you want to know more about this amazing quality of life feature, have a look at the guide at the bottom of the jBS2BG mod page, and grab the tool while you are there - it makes implementing it that much easier.
Although jBS2BG is on Skyrim LE, the same tool is used for Skyrim SE and Fallout 4.

As with any mod that edits the appearance of NPCs, you can get the black face bug if you use this mod incorrectly.
Black Face Bug Explained:
The black face bug happens when the facegen files of an actor does not match the appearance data the game is trying to load for that actor.
Primary Causes:
- New Facegen files that changes an actor's headparts without an accompanying .esm / .esl / .esp that updates the actor's NPC data table to match the facegen head mesh.
- Incorrect load order, where the new .esm / .esl / .esp that correctly updates an actor's NPC data table is above a plugin in your load order which
contains an incorrect or outdated NPC data table for the affect actor, such as bulk patches not being rebuilt after the updated appearance mod
was installed. - Missing or incorrectly named Facegen meshes and / or textures.
- NPC weight differences between NPC Data table changes, which can also result in a gap between an actor's body and neck (an NPC's weight seems to be stored in your save files and thus needs to be managed through the setnpcweight console command.)
Example:
Spoiler:
Let's look at some potential causes:
Show
Let's look at some potential causes:
- You install Song of the Green
- You install CRB Auri Lenka Replacer
- You move CRB Auri Lenka Replacer.esp below 018Auri.esp in your load order
- (Optional) You have an .esp at the end of your load order, generated by a patcher, which edits NPC data (e.g., Everybody's Different, ASIS, etc.)
The 4 steps above are all perfectly. The following steps are examples of where things can go wrong: - Black Face Bug Cause #1 (--Mod Organizer 01 / O2--): Moving the CRB Auri Lenka Replacer folder above Song of the Green folder in your mod list.
This will cause the game to load Auri's vanilla facegen files (over the modded ones) along with the replacer .esp with the update NPC data table.
The updated NPC data will be different from the vanilla facegen files, and Auri will have a black face that doesn't even remotely match the shape
in the images. - Black Face Bug Cause #2 (--Nexus Mod Manager--): Reinstall Song of the Green.
When you install the CRB Auri Lenka Replacer with NMM, it will straight up overwrite Auri loose base Facegen files with Lenka's.
If you then went ahead and reinstalled the base Song of the Green mod again for whatever reason, the Lenka facegen files would be replaced by Auri's
base facegen files.
But you still have the replacer .esp with the new NPC data table.
The information won't match up, and Auri will have a black face again. - Black Face Bug Cause #3 (--Any Mod Manager--): Not updating your generated patches.
Any patch containing NPC data for Auri needs to be updated after the replacer is installed. These patches are normally the last items in your load order, and if they contain old NPC data, they will overwrite anything in the replacer .esp. In such an event, the game will try to match the vanilla appearance data to the replacer Facegen files, which (as you should be able to guess by now) will cause a black face bug. - Black Face Bug Cause #4 (--Any Mod Manager--): Weight Differences
If installing / uninstalling an NPC replacer mid-playthrough that changes the NPC's default weight, it might also lead to a black face bug. To correct this, you'll need to know what the NPC in question's default weight was and use the console command "setnpcweight" to change it back.
NOTE - Neck Gaps: If there is a gap between an NPC's body and head, the facegen head mesh is for a lower weight than what the NPC is currently set to. Consequently, if the head mesh is for a higher weight than what the body is set to, deformation around the neck and shoulders can occur. You can mostly correct this in-game through use of the console:- Hit the tilde key (~) on the keyboard
- Click the NPC in question with your mouse (make sure you have the NPC select through mods like "More Informative Console" - there are a lot of transparent mist and other meshes you could accidentally click instead).
- type "setnpcweight xxx" without the the quotes (") and replace xxx with the NPC's correct weight. Hit enter.
- If you did it correctly, the neck gap will be gone and the NPC's face will be messed up.
- While still having the correct NPC targeted in the console, type "disable" and hit enter, and type "enable" and hit enter.
The NPC's face should now be fixed.
DISCLAIMER: Lenka has a default weight of 100, while Auri has a default weight of 0. To maximize the compatibility of this mod, Lenka's designer Sorca97 was awesome and provided me with a 0 weight head mesh which I adopted for this mod, so you shouldn't have any issues in the weight department here when installing / uninstalling mid-playthrough.
While these are only a few examples of what could cause you to get the black face bug, it always essentially be something similar to one of these principles. Hopefully this section helped you better understand the problem and gave you some insight in how to solve it.
