📋 About This Mod

NPC works is a personal project that ended up being a little bigger than what i expected, so i decided to share it!all major NPCs and as many minor NPCs as i could (like cocobuki or the generic elderly/child characters) got their faces and eyes upscaled to 4x through some ESRGAN magic and good ol' photoshop work.

i also fixed some stuff like gaia's lipstick, the twins' lips and fordola's eyes.

all the screenshots are shown with hair upscales by zestea.

feel free to use these upscales as a base for your mod as long as you credit me, and please let me know if there are any issues.

this mod now has also a companion piece called FACE works that upscales all player faces!

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
  • Check if you have other NPC texture mods installed; load order might matter to avoid conflicts.
  • Since it's a texture mod, it should work fine with most setups, but test in a new game or area to see the changes.
