You could make the argument that it's disregarding - or even disrespecting - the original vision for the character, particularly if all the mods only make them prettier.
I mean, artists who have spent time and effort shaping a vision for a character might feel frustrated if people modify them in ways that lose touch with how they first perceived them. Particularly if the modifications aren't an earnest re-appraisal of a character, but changing their skin tone or making them look more conventionally attractive.
(David Gaider has said something similar about reading fanfiction - the natural instinct is to abhor other people using your characters, but he takes a pretty nuanced approach.)
That's exactly how I feel.
I find it silly that people so desperatly need to change the artistic vision of a character just to make them all 'sexy' or whatever. In the case of the Isablea mod that makes her white, well I can't say what that persons motive was but it's stupid. Not only does it come off slightly racist but it destroys the established lore that people from Rivain are generally darker in skin tone.
This could be my lore-purist attitude coming out but it just seems wrong to mess with the original vision of the developers, whether it be a character or overall aethetic/style. This is one of the reasons I do not use ENB mods in Skyrim(or anything) because it completely destroys the type of mood the developers were trying to create with Skyrim. It's a winter tundra not some bloom infested fairytale.
