Fallout 3 Redesigned - Formerly Known as Project Beauty

This mod is (as of January 28, 2023) is open-source. You are free to edit, reupload as you wish. (Edited on January 28, 2023)

This mod just makes people look more realistic. Often you can tell that the game developers were rushed with some of the designs but I gave it a lot more thought and time with each of the designs.

INSTALLATION

[]We recommend using https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/?" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Vortex to install mods. If you aren't using Vortex, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make sure you are correctly installing mods and have properly configured your game for modding (for example: addressing http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Archive_invalidation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">archive invalidation if installing manually) []Choose either the HD Edition or the Standard Edition of Fallout 3 Redesigned. The HD Edition features new high resolution skin textures, eyelashes, and a couple custom hairstyles in addition to the redesigned faces of the Standard Edition. []Using Vortex, download and install whichever version you chose. []If you want to use any compatibility patches, download and install them with Vortex. []Activate Project Beauty.esm and any other plugins you wish to use.

COMPATIBILITYThis mod will conflict with most mods that edit NPCs.

If you try to use Redesigned along with another mod that edits NPCs, you will either miss Redesigned's faces or the other mod's changes. Because Redesigned is cosmetic and doesn't impact gameplay, it is suggested that you put our plugins very early in your load order. This is so that in the event of a conflict, Redesigned will be overridden and won't interfere with your gameplay-affecting mods.

Advanced users may find a preferable solution in using https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/22934" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Wrye Bash to create a Bashed Patch. The "Import Faces" function will resolve most conflicts with Redesigned. Users of our HD Edition should use the "Import Races" function as well.

BODY MODSThe Standard Edition will work with most body mods, because it pretty much only changes faces. It should work with Dimonized Type 3, Malos, Type V, etc. But it will not work with other face mods, such as Josef Grey's makeup textures, Dimonized faces or Fallout Character Overhaul. The HD Edition's body skin textures will likely conflict/overwrite body mods' textures, so body mod users are advised to stick to the Standard Edition.

FEEDBACKI am no longer doing designs for FO3, but SpaceOden is still maintaining the mod. If you have any bugs to report, please post them in the bugs section.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSI'm getting PINK/PURPLE eyes, eyelashes, heads, etc.

Pink or purple stuff means you are missing textures. Usually, this can be fixed by reinstalling our mod.

I'm getting characters with WHITE FACES but DARK BODIES.

Fixed in version 2. 75. Update now! Version 2. 75 of FO3 Redesigned includes FaceGen EGT files, which makes the following INI tweak unnecessary.

Alternatively, you can set bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1 in all of your INI files. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/articles/54900/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Detailed instructions can be found here, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T80H3BANzDU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here's a video demonstrating the fix.

The game CRASHES before I even get to the main menu!

That's a missing master error. You're probably using a patch you don't need. Make sure all your mods are up to date, and you have all your mods' requirements installed.

My BODY REPLACER doesn't work now
