📋 About This Mod
Creation Kit-generated FaceGen textures and meshes packed into archives (.ba2) for Synthetic Variations by JF Sherry.
This helps to reduce stuttering/frame drops. Highly recommended for low-end computers! However everyone benefits from this. Especially when using mods that dynamically spawn NPCs in the Worldspace (More Enemies, SKK Random Encounters, SKK Combat Stalkers etc.)
Works with both FULL and LITE versions of Synthetic Variations.
DO NOT USE the ''Low-Level Addon'' Optional file of Synthetic Variations!
