📋 About This Mod
Based off the official High Resolution textures, this contains lightly edited versions of the textures for all mechanical synths in the game.
Alters the Gen 1 and Gen 2 synths, clean and dirty. Clean Gen 2 synths have had their colors edited to reduce the jaundiced yellow look they have, though this does not quite go all the way to a 'human' skintone, as I wanted to keep them still clearly artificial.
Gen 2 synth eyes have a new glowmap as well courtesy of TwistedMethod, from their mod Alternative Synth Eyes.
Nick Valentine and DiMA both have improved textures as well.
Far Harbor is a soft requirement; as the mod is loose files, this can absolutely be used with base game only and the extra files will simply be unused.

- Improves visual clarity on all synth types, making them look sharper without changing the game's feel.

⚠️ Cons

For Fallout 4 players who want crisper textures on synths, especially those who frequently encounter Gen 1/2 synths, Nick Valentine, or DiMA. If you're a texture enthusiast who values visual fidelity without gameplay changes, this is a must-have.
