📋 About This Mod
UPDATE - 05/16/2025
As the original overlay mod is no longer available I am unable to continue to support this mod. I'll keep the mod up for people to use if they know what they are doing and are able to take the textures and apply them to another mod/edit them, with the original mod author's needing to be contacted as well for permission, as this was an edit of their work. Sorry for any inconvenience/misunderstanding this has caused. I am unable to work on mods for Fallout 4 at this time.
Synth Body Tattoo Overlay Edit adds fully textured synth body overlay using an edited version of Synth tattoo (looksmenu overlay). The overlay that I edited and and added textures was the White Skin and Hand options for a more robotic/synth look. Also includes edited no lines face paint option with the added white texture. Works best if you also use hair that covers the whole back of the neck. Most modded hairstyles work and so do the longer vanilla ones.
Skin overlay is for females only but the face works for both female and male characters.
Feel free to contact me if you feel like it needs changing or if there are any issues. So far the only issue I have come across are some armor mods that stretch the textures in weird way but I believe this is a CBBE issue. I attempted to wear the cyborg armor and Cross_Institute Expeditionary Suit's chest textures were unaligned. This was the case with or without this mod which leads to me think it's not an issue with this.
The extra markings in the screenshots are part of the Looksmenu compendium and the hair if from Commonwealth cuts if you are curious. There are several colors but I made the skin overlay to match white face paint. Also my character in the first few screenshots looks dirty because I forgot I had the Get Dirty mod activated as it adds slightly more detail, that's what the dirt patches are from.
NEW UPDATE AND PLANS
I plan on updating this mod as best I can as a resource. Since the original mod is gone and I lack the skills to edit it further than making the mod a replacer for another, I will update the mod with new textures resembling the best I can what the original was. Beyond that, users would have to select another overlay mod and replace part of it with mine, such as another tattoo overlay mod.
