Enjoying CPF? Support on Patreon helps me keep building it


Character Preset Framework (CPF) is a powerful yet easy-to-use framework that lets you save your character's appearance as a preset, share it with others, and apply presets from the community, all through an intuitive in-game interface.

CPF makes it effortless: just install it and open it on MCM (Shift + P by default) to start creating.

You might have noticed a couple of similar mods appearing recently. What a fun coincidence!

Here's what sets CPF apart:

  • []Works in character creation/mirror: Create and load presets at any time right where you edit your character (can't load in CC yet).[/]

    []Compatibility checks: CPF verifies whether your character's race and body type are compatible with a preset.[/]

    []Comprehensive dependency tracking: be informed about modded assets, such as custom heads or hair pieces.[/]

    []Companion website for creating mods: get your presets ready to share on Nexus in less than 20 seconds.[/]

    []Works in multiplayer: CPF is written to work for each client independently, and doesn't assume singleplayer is the default.[/]

    []Robust validation system: catches and prevent errors before they cause problems.[/]
