📋 About This Mod
This is the first mod I made for Fallout 4.
This mod only makes GhoulRace look more like HumanRace.
The races of NPCs will not change.

Compatibility
This mod does not conflict with mods that modify NPCs, but female characters without makeup information may have black lips.
A patch is required for any mod that modifies GhoulRace or its Head Parts.
Q. Why.
A. Because I wanted to.
Even after rebuilding the Commonwealth, becoming a director of the Institute, and filling the settlements with green lawn and clean water, there is still one thing that has not been accomplished. Cure the ghouls.
Yes, of course, I know that most people don't like the idea of making ghouls look like humans. This would not be lore friendly either.
But if you were able to turn Virgil from a super mutant back into a human, don't you think you should be able to cure ghouls?
And wouldn't it be unjust not to give the ghouls noses, ears, and unrotten skin?
Q. I haven't entered the Institute yet, but they have been cured.
Q. I've cured them, but they won't stop self-deprecating.
A. I didn't touch anything around the quest because I have no skills. Sorry.
Q. Are you racist against ghoulish people?
A. No way. I treat all the people of the Commonwealth equally. Look at that pieces of flesh.
Q. Any plans to make a patch for _______?
A. Nope, Sorry, Nothing.
