📋 About This Mod

Overhauls Vik Vector's look with an edited face texture and an entirely new facial normal map. Also optional files to remove his eye glasses and swap out his hair. Feel free to mix and match and use these files individually or together.

Yes, this mod IS compatible with (and I recommend this in combination) my mod that removes Vik's shirt.

Installation:

Extract the file and place the .archive into the "patch" folder. Create the patch folder if it doesn't exist.
