📋 About This Mod

This simple mod adds a layer of random noise and strengthens the global skin detail normals, in order to give characters in Veilguard a slightly rougher, less ironed out look.

It replaces the default Human_Face_Detail_01 and Human_SkinTile_01_Norm textures. This mod doesn't change any individual normal maps assigned to Actors or Generic characters, or any _BCLR maps. This mod doesn't edit any character resource bundles.

Tested on Ultra quality without ray tracing. Turning Bloom off is recommended to bring out maximum detail.

The mod might yield strange results during the prologue cutscene on the stairs because of the way rain particles interact with The Egg.

NOT compatible with nude body mesh edits.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if Veilguard has a mod manager like Vortex or MO2—if so, use it for easy installation and removal.
  • Since the mod tweaks normals, test it on a character with visible skin (like a face close-up) to see the effect before committing.
  • If you're unsure about installation, look for a 'Mods' folder in the game directory or check the mod's comments for user tips.
