Modder ‘HeartAttackMan’ has released a new HD Texture Pack for both the Legacy and the Special editions of Skyrim. As the title suggests, Disparity and Diversity adds unique textures to each and every race in order to give them a more varied appearance and to better reflect each race’s characteristics.
All the newly overhauled textures will work with the default male/female meshes. The male textures will work with vanilla meshes, even though they were made for Males of Skyrim. On the other hand, the female textures work best with the UNP compatible meshes, or the Nordic Faces.
This mod is compatible with all racial ability overhauls such as Imperious. It is also compatible with skeleton replacers, as well as with NPC overhauls.
Description: Inspired by Aelarr's Race compatibility dialogue mod I decided to just make my own for Emma's wonderful Vilja mod. Since I originally started this mod for LE, I decided to go back and finish the LE version. She has quite a few lines based on your character's race, which you would completely miss if you were playing as a custom race. Plugins: Hold Guards - All of the uniformed guards in Skyrim's holds are changed to 'Hold Guardians' Crimes against Skyrim www.nexusmods.com - Additional races by lazyradly Pony Scrolls www.nexusmods.com - Replaces all characters with screaming and pooping NPCs. Mod incompatibilities: None known of at this time. Load Order: Early, with your other ESMs, but after official.
The 2K version of this mod is 1.4GB in size, whereas the 4K version is 4GB in size. You can download Disparity and Diversity for Skyrim Legacy from here, and for Skyrim Special Edition from here.
Since this mod improves the textures of NPCs, it is compatible with almost all the other Skyrim graphical mods we’ve been sharing lately. Thus, you can use it alongside Skyrim 2020 Version 3.5 or Septentrional Landscapes SE. You can also use it with this 10GB AI-enhanced Texture Pack that overhauls all of the game’s textures. Naturally, this mod is compatible with Project Clarity – Creature Textures Redone, Project Clarity – Effects Textures Redone, Project Clarity – Clutter Textures Redone, and Grass and Ground Overhaul SE Mod.
Additionally, you can use it with the Enhanced Blood Textures mod, which makes the game gorier and bloodier than ever. Furthermore, you can use it with this mod that overhauls its magic system by adding more than 200 new spells. Or you can use it with this mod that completely overhauls its enemy system.
Have fun!

Compatibility Patches
Hunterborn Campfire Patch(Ensures compatibility with both Campfire and Frostfall 3)
Load Order
You should, in general, try to load Frostfall.esp as high (lowest priority) in your load order as you can.
In particular, Frostfall should load before any mods that edit inns and taverns. These are mods like JK’s Skyrim by Jkrojmal and Teabag86.
This is to ensure that the Rescue system in Frostfall will transport your character to the right place if your exposure reaches maximum.
Campfire
Keep in mind that Frostfall requires Campfire, and Campfire has its own Compatibility page. Please check that page as well if the compatibility or integration you’re looking for isn’t on this page; it might be specifically related to camping as provided by Campfire.

In this case, please contact me. |
Incompatibilities and Quirks
| Mod | Incompatibility |
| Frostfall 2.6 or prior | Strictly incompatible. Do not load Frostfall 2.6 or prior (Chesko_Frostfall.esp) alongside Frostfall 3 (Frostfall.esp). The game will prevent you from continuing if you do so. |
| SKSE 1.7.2 or prior | SKSE 1.7.3 or greater is required. You will receive a warning in-game that will not let you continue until you upgrade. |
| W.A.T.E.R. Get Wet - Water FX Plug-in | The W.A.T.E.R. plug-in that displays water droplets on the player should not be used because Frostfall already includes a water shader when the player is wet. If you would prefer to use this visual effect instead of Frostfall’s, be sure to turn off Frostfall’s Player Wet Shader in the settings. Your water droplets will not match Frostfall’s wetness game mechanic, however. |
| Hypothermia (Nitor) | This mod adds essentially the same mechanics already added by Frostfall and should not be used with it. |
| Dynamic Fires (Woodbyte) | This mod adds essentially the same feature already added by Frostfall and should not be used with it. |
| ScriptDragon | This is a very dangerous, old, unsupported and unstable framework for executing custom script files that predates Skyrim’s Creation Kit and should not be used. |
