📋 About This Mod
This mod removes grime, dirt overlays, and lip liner from NPCs across the Commonwealth, Far Harbor and Nuka-World and replaces dirty body textures with clean textures. So if you are tired of everyone looking like they rolled through a radroach nest, S. O. A. P. might be what you need.
Vanilla NPCs only include the textures and not the meshes since no alterations were made to the facial morphs. One Fallout 4 NPC did not have a mesh so it is included. Tina De Luca and Doctor Penske meshes are also included in order to fix the brown face bug due to vanilla facegen issues with those 2 NPCs. (Please note that removing the dirt layers from Tina makes her makeup very bright and she also has a CoA mark on her forehead that you couldn't see before. This is vanilla and not something that was added by this mod. It's only visible now due to the dirt being removed from her face).
Available Versions/Patches
-

F. A. Q. S.
How is this mod different from Wash Your Face - Take A Bath?
-
[]Face textures are all 1k and include spec and normal maps.
[]ALL NPCs are included. Wash Your Face only included NPCs with dirt tints.
[]This mod also removes the awful lip liner which Wash Your Face does not do.
[]Clean body textures are included in S. O. A. P. - Commonwealth and are upscaled to 4k (there is also a separate download for just the body textures).
[]This mod page will also include facegen from other mods that I use (eventually).
[]Wash Your Face will remain available for those concerned with the size of this mod.
- []Maybe? Just ask and if it's a mod I might use I can upload a patch for it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 125 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Fits the Fallout 4 aesthetic with a fun Vault-Tec lore twist.
- Simple cosmetic change that doesn't alter gameplay mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Small niche mod—may not be on your radar if you're not into visual tweaks.
- Limited scope: only affects NPC cleanliness, not other aspects of appearance.
- Potential conflicts with other NPC overhaul mods that change the same characters.
For Fallout 4 players who want a subtle visual upgrade to NPCs without overhauling the whole game. If you're into lore-friendly cosmetic tweaks and enjoy Vault-Tec's satirical style, this is a fun addition. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or major visual overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Check if you have other NPC overhaul mods installed—this may conflict, so load order matters.
- Since it's cosmetic, you can safely add or remove it mid-playthrough without breaking saves.
