📋 About This Mod
That's a fine ember you've got there!
Andre's Cranial Ember updates the character heads for both male and female characters. This affects not only the player character, but NPCs as well!
Textures are more subtly realistic and reduce the doll-like gaze and baby-face that the original characters had.
Male characters are more rugged and chiseled. Female heads have more shape, but are softer than the male textures. Both genders contain custom diffuse, specular and normal maps. Custom eye textures are also included, which are higher resolution and have more realistic shadowing and glossiness.
Also contains updated hollow textures, which are brighter, cleaner, and have reduced color.
Andres Cranial Ember is a head pack mod for Fallout: New Vegas that replaces the default heads for both male and female characters with more realistic versions, and updates the Hollow textures. It has received 7,573 endorsements and 157,750 downloads, indicating a strong following. The mod is from 2012 and remains a popular choice for players seeking visual improvements.
