📋 About This Mod
TL;DR adds new facial sculpts, as well as extended versions of the existing sculpts, to the LooksMenu/Plastic Surgery menu.
- []Customize your face shape beyond the tiny amount allowed normally, and in ways simply not possible before. []Existing characters/NPCs aren't touched unless you want them to be. This is entirely an addition, not a replacement. []Males and females both benefit, since Bethesda made the both good and bad decision to use similar skeletons for everything. []However, due to a bug in the looks menu, having Male installed will cause the Female list to revert to vanilla. This is purely cosmetic - changes to female faces will persist as long as the female sculpt file is present, and extended female presets will load fine - but it does mean you have to remove the Male file to further customize female faces.

- Important note. Read me or your game will explode.
Not really.
But seriously: This mod is an incomplete work in (slow) progress. It only covers about 85% of the available bones in the face so far; a full list can be found in Articles. I feel comfortable no longer calling this mod a "beta", but since we're still modifying the face far beyond Bethesda's intended limits, expect facial oddities if you push things too far.
The full description below is written assuming a complete product, things currently missing are crossed out. This is purely and unapologetically to cater to my laziness; I only have to come back through and un-cross things as they become true :>
If you find a problem (movement for a sculpt is non-conformant/incorrect, sculpt doesn't work, game explodes, etc), please report it in the comments or bug report tab. Despite what's written above, these sculpts should be working properly and should more or less behave as expected in the final product. Comments and suggestions of any other sort are, of course, welcome.
Todo: documenting the sculpt format and putting it in Articles figuring out how to move/scale/rotate the head, face and hair figuring out if I can use expression morphs via sculpts

- What? -
Fallout 4 uses a bunch
Extended Facial Sculpting expands Fallout 4's character creation with new sculpting options for the LooksMenu and plastic surgery. It's a highly popular UI mod with over 22,000 endorsements, last updated in 2017, offering extended customizability for players who want more control over their character's appearance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 22k endorsements and 1.2M downloads show this is a go-to for character customization
- Directly expands vanilla sculpts, so it feels like a natural extension of the game's tools
- Adds new sculpts beyond vanilla, giving you more options to fine-tune your character's face
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — might have compatibility issues with newer game patches or DLC
- Requires LooksMenu (not explicitly stated but implied) — if you don't have it, this mod won't work
For Fallout 4 players who love deep character creation and want more facial sculpting options than vanilla offers. If you spend hours in the character creator and use LooksMenu, this is a must-have. Skip if you're fine with vanilla options or don't use LooksMenu.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have LooksMenu installed first, as this mod extends its sculpts — without it, the mod won't function
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod, especially if you have other character mods
- After installing, load your save and open the LooksMenu to see the new sculpts — they appear alongside the vanilla ones
