✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,958 endorsements and 138,510 downloads
- Works with vanilla races, so no compatibility headaches with other race mods
- Simple to use—just pick a preset in the race menu
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009, so it may not be compatible with newer Oblivion versions or mods
- No screenshots or detailed descriptions of the presets, so you're flying blind until you try it
- Only adds presets, not new hair or face meshes—if you want more variety, this won't expand the pool
For Oblivion players who want quick, easy face variety without messing with sliders or custom races. If you're tired of the same old faces and want a few new options at character creation, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for high-res textures or new meshes—this is purely presets.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the console command 'showracemenu' to access the presets on an existing character—no need to restart.
- If you use the Plastic Surgery mod, you can change your face mid-game without losing progress.
- Since it's an old mod, check for compatibility with your Oblivion version and other mods that alter the race menu.
