Its really hard to nail a good looking High Elf,seriously... :p
The save starts just at the begening when you enter the Helgen Keep with Hadvar.
You can use the "showracemenu" console command,if you want to change some parts of the appeareace,
such as haircut,facial hair and the name ofcourse,it wont damage the save game because its the start.

Those are the required files for my savegames...
And if you wonder about the screenshot quality.
I use all the popular HD textures from Skyrimnexus,Nvidia SSAO with ENB HDR 1.8,with my own custom preset
and heavily modified Skyrim.ini file :)
