    It’s admittedly been a while since I’ve played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can’t you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?

      It’s been a whole for me too, but I think some mods are better applied before a starting the game. Even if you save just after character creation the game has initialised a bunch of things and that might cause problems.

      I do think being able to save preset faces would be great. Sometimes when making a character, I make a model I kinda like, and I have to decide if it’s worth the risk of trying something different and not being able to remake my original if the new one doesn’t work out. Some games (mass effect?) represent each model with a code, which works pretty well. But I don’t think skyrim does.

      Yeah I was just coming to say as well, the biggest issue with this is mods.

      And in games like Stardew Valley, the other issue is the game seed. If you keep using the same save, a lot of the same ‘random’ events will occur.
