OVERVIEW
Oh, my god. This took me longer than I care to admit.
Behold, the most (I think?) customizable human race in fallout's history. Very optimized and vanilla friendly (THIS DOESN'T REPLACE THE VANILLA HEADS, it adds a whole new one you can enable and disable for you and other NPCs).
I cannot even begin to talk about all the available options. But, here's a vague idea of what's included:
- EYES: 49 options ranging between Natural, synthetic and hetero with realistic depth and light occlusion.
- BLEMISHES: Including but not limited to; individual creases for each region of the face, 7 wrinkle maps according to age, 4 categories of tattoos, synthetic augmentations, blood overlays, new scars, makeup, realistic beautiful vitiligo and new face paint and war paint. And a lot more for you to discover.
- SCULPTING: Akin to extended facial sculpting mod but with even more editable regions and smooth transitions.
- HAIR: Aside from vanilla and other patches, this mods adds 9 new hairstyles that were made using vanilla meshes and 3 new beards.
- REALISTIC FACIAL EXPRESSION CREASING:
PRESETS
Comes with premade 18 looksmenu presets, along with the option to change a number of NPCS from the installer (Danse, Preston, MacCready, Deacon, Kellogg, Elder maxson, X6, Gage, Institute Father, Sturges, Travis, Rhys and the Vault Representative).
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE ASKING ANYTHING:
A: NO, you can use 4k and still have 1k vanilla faces and be assured you will not encounter brown face bug on either you or any vanilla NPC.
>>Can I install this mid save?
A: Final answer: No. Use at your own discretion. Don't report a bug if you use mid save.
>>My game crashes/becomes laggy when I sculpt with the 4k textures!
A: Use Looks Mirror! Looks menu can be buggy with such high resolutions and with the huge amount of tint options, if you want to sculpt 4k smoothly, looks mirror is your best option. Or you can enable the 1k files, make and save your preset and reenable the 4k textures.
>>Does this mod also replace the body?
A: No, only adds a new head. For body mods I mainly focused on making this better suited for BodyTalk. (To achieve best seamless results enable SSS for BodyTalk).
>>How do I remove this mod?
A: In looks menu load the "00 Unedited mesh" preset (<< THIS'S VERY IMPROTANT OR YOU WILL CRASH IF YOU CHANGE TO HUMAN RACE), then in console type "Setrace human" and press enter, the head will look messy but it's normal, save and exit the whole game. When you load, your head will be invisible, enter looks menu again and load a vanilla preset, voila, you now have a vanilla head.
>>But my female character is now bugged D:
A: If you want to play with vanilla female character delete the "Player" record in the AceMaleRace.esp. And for the love of god don't Comment about female bugs you think happened due to this mod because this mod does NOT touch any female records...
>>What about a female race?
A: Before you ask, I did consider it, and I will attempt it. Please don't ask me "when?" Because I frankly don't know. Hell, would be lucky if I even went through with it to begin with...
