*Dont forget to go into your Mantella folder and set the install paths for your Skyrim folder, XVASynth folder and Mod folder. If you open the config INI it will tell you exactly how to do it!*
*Now with a free model, you don't have to pay*

*ATTENTION* This is a very lengthy guide with a lot of steps but I have done my very best to make it as simple as possible. All steps have a chapter to them so you can go back and rewatch any step with ease.
If you have any difficulties please jump in the Mantella Discord (link below) where the devs are very helpful. Alternatively jump in my Discord (link below) and I'll try and help as and when possible!
This mod will work with VR and Non-VR versions of the games, just adjust the file downloads on each download page to match your version of Skyrim. I have included ALL the links to ALL the downloads you will need in order of how I have installed them in the tutorial, please do be aware that as Mantella evolves the files may too!
As always I hope this helps someone out there! Consider giving us a like / subscribe if it does!
Thank you!
