📋 About This Mod

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

  • []Learn how to install Fallout 3 mods.

    []We recommend using 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 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.
