I play on console so no mods available. I find it very hard to make a good looking character with vanila Skyrim. Anybody have tips on making your character look good? Or a web site that has sliders for you to use? I tried a google search and came up little. As always, thanks!

I just spend hours on the character creation menu.

Try that.

Same. I've never had a problem making nice looking characters in Skyrim. Unlike Oblivion...

Thats the one I was able to find but thanks

I like to use the sliders for existing characters, and then alter them. Made some attractive ladies that way.

I make them look how I feel they should and that's it. I don't go for characters who look hot unless that makes sense for them. I mainly play Khajiit, so it's easier for me to just make a face fast.

I'm not looking for "hot" but I am working on a Breton paladin type character right now and feel like I can't get him to look the way I want.

Oh. Most people just want sixy, so I just assumed you did. Sorry. Just mess around with the sliders until you find a look that you like. That's what I do.

Wooley beat me to it
No really, try that, it helped me. It's not a cure all, so it won't fix all of your problems.
It won't fix any if you don't take the given advice.
Happy hunting!

This, without mods, it's really hard to make your character actually look good. I usually just go through random a few times, and once I find something alright, I tweak it a little bit until I'm satisfied.

it helps if you know a bit of the general proportions of human faces. what we consider to be good looking, follows rather strict rules of proportion. if you break those rules, faces seem weird.

It's impossible to make a good looking character in Oblivion without mods. Like, don't even try. In Skyrim though, I find the character customization to be amazing. Though, I spent hours trying to create the perfect character and ended up like http://i.imgur.com/OXYgX.png.

It takes a while to get it right, but once your finally down, it's totally worth it. Though I did see this one website where you can remake character's faces that are in the game (Farkas, Belethor, etc.). Forgot what it was called.

I never understood the point of putting the word 'like' where it just doesn't quite belong.
What's the point?
Sorry. Maybe it's just a peeve of mine.

I find Male characters seem to be a little harder than female characters to get "good looking".

I usually go this way... remove hair ( facial hair as well), eye's first, brow, nose, mouth.... chin, jaw....then tweak everything a little bit because one thing changes another. I usually put the brightness setting up really high to try and get rid of some of the shadows. I put that back to "game lighting" then do skin tone, hair and scar's/war paint.

These are the males I have and I really wasn't going for super handsom...more strong, stubborn and masculine. Well and not fugly.

On Derik I've tweaked him a bit in "Riften". things that bothered me... mainly skintone and his chin was to wide, that is an old pic.

Do each setting slowly and either take pic's of the settings or trace the lines and markers, that way they will be in the "right spot" when done again. After you get done and tweak a little bit. Walk out of the room and do something for 10, 15 minutes, then go back in and look and see if you really like what he looks like. I think it's easier to see the "flaws" that will bug you tomorrow if you leave the room, then look again.
