About this mod
This contains generated facegen for FCO to hopefully prevent characters from having pale faces as well as the need for bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles to set to 1.

Fallout character overhaul is a mod that I don't personally use at the moment but this has been an issue that has been bothering me for a while.
Since FCO obliviously edits NPCs some characters edited will have a white face when they shouldn't.
The usual fix recommended for this is to set bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles to 1 in the Fallout ini file however this is from my understanding extremely performance heavy.
The other solution is to generate your own facegen using the GECK and that is what I have done.
Available for download should be the facegen in a BSA file named "FCOMaster - Facegen".
The loose files will also be available though I do recommend using the BSA version.
The original DDS and TGA files I generated will also be available for download in case any wants them.
Also now included as separate download is a mod that should remove the can be all races flag from the NPCs that had it added by FCO.
The tools used to generate the facegen were:
To put the DDS files in a BSA I used: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194
I followed this guide to generate the facegen: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/articles/55233 but from what I understand this method might be slightly incorrect particularly with the DTX1 option though it is the only method I know of at this time. If I do find a better method I will use it and update the files.
The main file for the BSA should be 15.4MBs but this will might increase if I do find out a better method.
The main loose files unpacked should be around 90MBs.
I am mostly certain this mod isn't doing anything wrong by existing as not re-uploading any FCO files and files require FCO to function.
Somethings to note:
I am sorry if this is hard to read and if it is please inform me and I will try to fix that.
I am also sorry if this mod is not allowed though from my understanding it is but if it isn't I will remove the mod as soon as I am made aware.
All credits go to the creator of the original FCO mod Drumber and Lunarion Silver for FCO Bugfixes for their ESM that I used to generate the Facegen.
I might generate more facegen. If anyone has any suggestions then please tell in the comments section.

Somethings to note:
- I used a slightly edited version of FCOBugfixes to generate the files.
- The only thing I changed in the ESM was removing the can be all races flag from the NPCs that had it. I did this as with this flag characters will always have white faces even with facegen.
- I used the egt files from https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/71577?tab=description I don't know if this changes anything to FCO facegen but it might.
- Some Characters will still have really pale faces and this is to do with can be all races flag I previously mentioned.
You will have to remove this yourself and it will likely be rather tedious.You no longer have to do this as I have uploaded a mod that should remove the can be all races from the NPCs that had it added by FCO.
- As far as I know, you only need to remove this flag for NPCs who have had it added to them by the FCO ESM. NPCs from the FalloutNV.ESM with flag should probably keep it.
- I used FNVEdit: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34703 to remove it though I believe you can also use the GECK.
- Since this is just textures it will likely not need to be disabled when using the GECK.
