📋 About This Mod
Name: Tchos\' Better Bittercup - spooky goth girl Version: 1. 2 Date: 12/12/2008 Category: NPC Author: Tchos Description =========== Bittercup\'s actual look now fits all the dialogue with her, the player, and other characters talking about her white makeup and spooky styles. I\'ve changed her hairstyle to \"hair20\" from YoshikinaKota\'s port of the Corean hair from the mod for Oblivion. This made it necessary to either alter the Caucasian race to add the hair to that, or make Bittercup a custom race which includes the hair. I\'ve included both approaches. Choose which one you prefer. The \"new race\" version will not conflict with any mod that alters the Caucasian race, but a side effect that I couldn\'t get rid of was that the head skin tone doesn\'t match the body. Since it\'s supposed to be makeup anyway, you might be okay with that. Alternatively, if you don\'t use any mod that alters the Caucasian race (which includes any hair or eye pack that adds new hair or eye options to the playable character), then you can use the other version, which gives her an all-over pale skin tone. If a mod does come into conflict with this, it may cause baldness or some other kind of unexpected hairstyle on caucasians. I\'ve also changed her outfit to the gothiest outfit I\'ve seen yet, which is Rekicker\'s Pirate 03 YARR retexture of the Merc Charmer outfit. This is now optional. If you\'ve recently visited Bittercup, you may need to use the console to refresh her wardrobe (open console, click on Bittercup, type \"disable\", then type \"enable\"). I think I\'ve included everything in this mod that you need. Forgive me for not including instructions on whatever the various methods are for getting mods to work. I think if you\'ve been downloading mods here, you probably have already done a couple. I use Fallout Mod Manager, myself. Let me know if I missed something. History ======= 1. 0, 2008-12-12 - Initial release. 1. 1, 2008-12-12 - Added versions without the pirate outfit. 1. 2, 2008-12-14 - Corrected paths for face & body textures Contact ======= You can find me on TESNexus as \'Tchos\' Credits ======= Concept, Bittercup makeover, etc.: Tchos Hair: idkrrr via YoshikinaKota Pirate outfit: Rekicker Tools Used ========== The GECK Fallout Mod Manager - http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=640 Licensing/Legal =============== You can include this food in other mods, but all I ask in return is that you give me credit for it and inform me of any mod that will include them.
