📋 About This Mod
If you don't like hero faces being retouched, but wants it for other npc, this is the other version
Affected Faces:
-Wanderers(Only newly spawn)
-Heroes(Only on new game)
-Notables(Only on new game)
Effect:
All of the Heroes' faces have been edited to reduce asymmetry and disproportion (facial parts that are either too large or too little), but their original appearances have been retained.
The hero's faces were edited from their female versions so that when they produce offspring, the symmetry and proportion won't be so far from their appearance. Also, for the female offspring, they sometimes tend to look like boys, so this mod aims to eliminate that.
NPCs' faces were edited to reduce their minimum and maximum pool selection of faces. This prevents randomness from being so extreme that it would result in unappealing faces.
Battanian soldiers sometimes have face paint on their faces. Originally, I intended for all Battanian soldiers to have such paint, but when I tested, only some soldiers had it.
In Aserai (Banu Hulyan Clan), Razana is a male by default, but his face template suggests he should be a female(no beard with make-up). Males don't have make-up, but his face template as a female does have. His name suggested a female name and his equipment is Aserai Battle Template for Lady, thus, I altered his gender into a female.
DISCLAIMER!!
I make no claims to superior aesthetic judgment or superiority over the characters' original designers. we have different preferences. Good looks don't necessarily translate into good looks for everyone else and vice versa. The Mod tries to lessen the extreme randomness of face generation and for the future faces of hero's offspring.
Installation: Just put them Inside Modules folder
How this works?
Minimum's face is extremely flat or all of its face values are set to minimum
Maximum's face is extremely bumpy or all of its face values are set to maximum
Originally, faces were chosen at random in between "Max" and "Min" to serve as NPCs' faces
This mod minimize that randomness by replacing Minimum and Maximum's face with a beautiful face, their combination is what NPC would look like for Male and Females, I just showed female version since it's hard to differentiate the appearance on males especially if they have beards
Trivia:
While I was editing the hero faces
-Most males when made into females look beautiful to me than most original females of Calradia. One example is Lucon.
-Some beauties of Calradia have an unpleasant angle and only look good to me on the front side of the face.
- Culture Hero Population (Alive)
