📋 About This Mod
Description: ------------ Retexture of the Female face texture, to make it smoother and less \'blotchy\'. Affects ALL female faces except the older females. Installation: ------------- Copy \'data\' folder to your Fallout 3 folder (usually Programme Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3). In your Fallout. INI file (My Documents/My Games/Fallout 3 for XP users) change the line that says \'bInvalidateOlderFiles=0\' so instead of 0 it says 1 , like this \'bInvalidateOlderFiles=1\' Use your preferred Archive Invalidation method. I recommend \'ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated\' by Quarn, if you do use this you must delete your \'Archive Invalidation.txt\' file if you have one. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944 Uninstallation: --------------- Delete these 4 files in your textures folder of Fallout 3 installation. textures\\characters\\female\\headhuman.dds textures\\characters\\female\\headhuman_n.dds textures\\characters\\female\\headhumanf10.dds textures\\characters\\female\\headhumanf10_n.dds Forum thread: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=936161

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 603 endorsements and over 13k downloads — clearly a go-to for face fixes.
- Simple, focused change: just makes female faces smoother without altering other aspects.
- Works globally, so every female NPC gets the improvement — no need to pick and choose.
⚠️ Cons
- Old mod from 2009 — might not play nice with newer mods or the latest Oblivion patches.
- Only affects female faces, so if you want male face overhauls, this won't help.
- No screenshots or detailed install notes in the description, so you're flying blind until you test it.
For Oblivion players who are bothered by the default blotchy female faces and want a quick, lightweight fix. Skip if you're looking for a full character overhaul or male face improvements — this is purely a female face texture tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Oblivion Data folder and enable the mod in your launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Test on a female NPC early to see if the smoother look matches your preference — it's subtle but noticeable.
