📋 About This Mod
So i was an admirer of Shadman's design. I noticed that that nexusmods member Jman1992 had made a character preset attempting to mimic the appearance/design of the above mentioned "Vault Meat" Character. I was inspired by this file to play my first file as this character, but I felt that a few facial details weren't quite right with his version (the hairstyle, eyebrows, lip color, overall face shape) as well as a problem where English players couldn't use the mod without having some items change to German titles due to him playing the German version of Fallout 4.
This inspired me to create my own Vault Meat character save using the in-game character creator to take a shot at creating a likeness of it, and felt that i would upload for those of us who have problems with the German/English issues or perhaps prefer the style of this face. It includes a save from right after character creation, and another at the end of Vault 111 before opening the vault door.
INSTALLATION:
Simply Unzip the file and place the Save in your MyGames/Fallout4/Saves folder, then load it up.
A Fallout 4 saved game mod that recreates the 'Vault Meat' character design by Shadman, offering two save files (post-character creation and end of Vault 111) to avoid German/English localization issues found in a similar preset. For fans of the design who want a ready-to-play save.

- Two save points give you flexibility to start fresh or jump into the wasteland.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If one save gives you a default male, try the other – the mod author notes this bug.

- Load the save from the main menu, not the continue button, to ensure it picks up the right file.
