📋 About This Mod

Way too many NPCs have an unfortunate case of sealed nostrils. This makes them look like action figures instead of people. So I'm giving the citizens of Night City a sinus clearing by editing their face textures and adding actual nostrils.

This is a work in progress. The eventual goal is to cover every story and crowd NPC. For now this covers most of the story/quest NPCs, as well as many of the minor/enemy/crowd NPCs. Some of them needed it more than others.

This does not cover any of V's face textures.

Characters affected by this mod:

Alt Cunningham

Carol Emeka

Claire Russell

Dakota Smith

Elizabeth Peralez

Evelyn Parker

Gillean Jordan

Hanako Arasaka

Judy Alvarez

Maman Brigitte

Michiko Arasaka

Panam Palmer

Rogue (Young and Old)

Wakako Okada

Phantom Liberty:

President Myers

Stella Ramos

Many of the minor/enemy/crowd NPCs share various 'basehead' textures. I've edited most of those too. However, due to the way these textures are used on various head shapes, your mileage may vary.

Requirements

Phantom Liberty is a soft requirement as this should work without it since the DLC files would never get referenced. But better safe than sorry.

Conflicts

This will conflict with any mod that edits the face textures of the above characters and/or the 'basehead' textures.

Installation

Drop the contents of the .rar in into the root of your game folder, or install with MO2/Vortex.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check the mod's file structure to see if it replaces textures directly or uses a mod manager; if manual, just drop the files into your game's Data folder.
  • If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod after other texture mods to ensure it overwrites correctly.
  • Since it's a retexture, it should work with most setups, but always verify it doesn't conflict with other face texture overhauls.
