    It's a UNP body with the default underwear option from the UNP female armors page, and the face is just the Pretty Face mod. 

    No fancy stuff. It's pretty basic. I just took a lot of time to make it look right. I started from the Nord preset #2 if that helps. 

    And the armor is part of Immersive Armors V7.

    What he said: "I love how everyone used mods"

    What I read: "I love how everyone used mods and I hate that because I'm a simple console peasant."

    I'd post my vanilla characters... But my iPad is garbage. Can't take decent pictures and can't post them in comments...

    Can you send them in a PM? I'd post them for you.

    I'd have to post them in the photos, and even then, they wouldn't be the greatest in quality. Really the best I can do is send the sliders for my character to so some who can take good photos and they post the picture...

    Well it wouldn't be the same if I did it cuz mods. Maybe put in a request on the screenshot request page?

    ... But
    1. Those people use mods.
    2. They take too long
    3. I'm impatient...

    That vampire looks amazing. That is how Dawnguard should have done it!

    I had no idea there are Vanilla purists in TES games

    There are.... They are called "console players". They make up a majority of TES sales

    Vanilla would imply no DLC either, methinks.

    That may be correct

    Vanilla to me implies changing how the game was originally intended by the developers... Plus all DLC is already content in the game, you are sim pally paying for cut content...

    Yeah, as far as I am concerned, all DLC counts as "Vanilla". Vanilla to me just means "unmodded". And additional content made by Bethesda that costs money is not a mod.

    Well, there are cases of games (WoW for example) where people refer to vanilla as a pre-dlc content. 

    Also excerpt from wiki about Vanilla software could be used as an example:

    "In computer games the term "vanilla" is often used to describe the original version that has not been modified with third-party addons, nor developer updates or patches. It can also refer to the original game engine when source ports or expansion packs are available"

    It looks like thats the general consensus, but it doesnt mean that everyone must agree of course

    I hardly ever agree with anyone, so why start now?

    Actually, disabling an ENB is pretty easy, I just press 2 keys and that's it,  if you would've requested me to make a screenshot of those sliders without the enb, I would've done it in no time. And no I don't want to commit seppuku when I see Skyrim without a graphical modification, because the other half of my Skyrim gaming time was without any mods, and I enjoyed it just as well.

    You are one of the few (if any) people that don't cry when they turn off mods... It makes me really not want to become a PC gamer because I don't want to become such a complainer (you think I'm joking or am exaggerating... Every person I ever asked about turning off mods for just once they acted like toddlers...)

    Release day Skyrim is Vanilla.

    DLC added is Chocolate and Strawberry.

    Modded Skyrim is Chunky Monkey with heroin needles sprinkled on top.
