📋 About This Mod
In all my hundreds of hours in Vault 88, I never got used to seeing Overseer Barstow as a ghoul. Other mods that change her race either default her as the 'standard' human player model or give her an entirely new look. In this mod I personally copied her facegen data, giving us Overseer Barstow as she was before the war.
There is a young version and elderly version. The only difference between the young and elderly versions of this mod are cosmetic. I have played through the entire Vault 88 questline and have staffed a full vault with both versions and found no issues.
Lore wise I imagine she had a personal Vault-Tec cryo pod that she has slept in, waking only to tend to Julian and scare off the occasional raider gang at the door. She was probably also a heavy smoker, giving her the iconic raspy 'ghoul voice'.
This simple mod turns Overseer Valery Barstow of Vault 88 from a ghoul into a human, offering both young and old variants. It's a lightweight cosmetic change for Fallout 4 players who prefer a non-ghoul appearance for this NPC, with 443 endorsements and last updated in 2020.
