📋 About This Mod

Description

This mod creates a fresh texture for the face textures of the player and NPC's. It adjusts the nose and mouth mostly with some small textures added to the ears using Neytiri, Mo'at and Tsu'tey screenshots as a reference.

This mod does not edit the color of the skin in any way - it just appears that way in the photos due to weather changes in game when i took the photos.

Installation

  • []Unzip the folder and then move 'blue' to this path:

Ubisoft users: Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\AFOP

Steam users: Steam\steamapps\common\AFOP

If you already have a 'blue' folder, open up your existing blue folder and the mod's blue folder, then move 'baked' into your existing blue folder. If you already have 'baked', repeat the same thing and move 'characterart' - repeat until you find a folder you don't already have.

Known Issues

Known Issues

  • []There is a bug where on some (not all) female npc's the seam is VERY visible - this is because they are for some reason using the texture file for the male head. I have attempted to fix it however once it looks smooth on the female model, the male npc AND player model then have the ugly seam. I have also tried switching out that head model entirely, it only made it worse.

    This is a bug that is in the base game so it's something that UBISOFT need to fix. Once ubisoft fixes this, I will update the mod again.

    Author's note 

    Some things that I have been working on as well as this and a few other mods in the refreshing NPC's series:

    • []Retextured vegetation to be more movie like - so far the exploding vein pods and the bean pods - next on my list are tree of voices, warbonnet fern, binary sunshine and bladder polyp.

      []Campfires at the Sarentu Totems - currently aren't functional but look good for photo's (looking for a fix but unsure if i'll be able to get it working)

      []Making the kinglor forest feel denser like the movies

      []Movie accurate direhorse skin

      []Tsu'tey's ikran pattern (actual pattern, not just recolor)

      []Tsu'tey's bioluminescent pattern

      []Updating 'Better body' (hidden on nexus due to some texture bugs), making multiple versions (nips, no nips, tail wraps etc)

    Planned for future:

    []More bioluminescence patterns/bioluminescence ove
