📋 About This Mod
Vault-Tec Enhanced FaceGen System (V. E. F. S) automates the process of generating FaceGen models and textures via the Creation Kit, autodetecting faceless NPCs and making it a very simple process.
Requirements
- []FO4Edit 4. 1. 5 or later. Required for the xEdit script.
[
]X-Cell Fallout 4 - Required for the game to use preprocessed FaceGen files in several cases where it otherwise would not work. Required for both OG and NG versions.[]Fallout 4 Creation Kit - You can use the BethNet or Steam version, OG or NG versions all work. If using NG Creation Kit with downgraded game executable such as via the Simple Fallout 4 Downgrader, the powershell is programmed to detect the NG steam_api64_downgradeBackup.dll file if necessary and swap it so that it can run the Creation Kit. If you don't know what this means, don't worry about it.
[]Creation Kit Platform Extended for Fallout 4 - You need version 0. 4-b116 or later for properly compressed texture files. You cannot use the old CK Fixes as it doesn't contain the fixes required to get the FaceGen to work correctly from the command line.
[]Far Harbor DLC - The vanilla game requires face tint textures in the Far Harbor DLC in order to generate even some vanilla NPC faces (e.g., Dr. Penske and Tina De Luca). This is not a hard requirement, but you may have NPCs with black face textures if these are missing.
[]Windows 10 or newer - Certain features are not available on outdated operating systems.
