📋 About This Mod

The face paints can also be colored by painting the same equivalent of said gear - for example, if you have the Shemagh face paint equipped, it will take the color of any facewear currently worn.

Also comes with UI icons so they should be easier to find.

- Walker's Scarf replaces Camo Finger Paint A;

- Fixit's Scarf replaces Camo Finger Paint B;

- Stealth Balaclava replaces Camo Finger Paint D;

- R6 Gas Mask replaces Camo Finger Paint E;

- Fourth Echelon Goggles (in the downed position) replaces Camo Finger Paint F;

- Fixit's Lowered Peltor SwatTac III replaces Camo Finger Paint G (it may look red in the main menu but it will look fine in-game);

- Earpiece replaces Camo Finger Paint H;

- Sentinel Hood Lowered replaces Camo Finger Paint I;

- Peltor SwatTac III replaces Camo Finger Paint J;

- Shemagh replaces Camo Finger Paint K;

- Future Soldier Scarf replaces Camo Finger Paint L;

- Avon M50 Gas Mask replaces Camo Finger Paint M;

- Third Echelon Sonar Goggles replaces Camo Finger Paint N (make sure to wear the goggles both as face paint and face wear so the goggles will go down when activating NVG);

- Outcast Scarf replaces Tiger Paint.

Now comes with Dirt and Blood Edition, which a fancy way of saying it has my Dirt and Blood Face Paints mod. With it:

- Fury's Dirt and Blood + Stealth Balaclava replaces Black Paint G;

- Light Dirt + Walker's Scarf replaces Black Paint I;

- Nomad's Dirt and Blood + Fixit's Scarf replaces Black Paint M.

Those also come with poorly made UI icons.

I might be updating this with more gears and combinations, but as of now, hats, masks, and helmets are off the table due to requiring a different face or hair mesh.

To install the file in the "Main" folder:

- Use AnvilToolKit to extract DataPC_patch_01.forge in your game's folder;

- Drop the file on the extracted 23_-_TEAMMATE_Template.data folder;

- Repack the 23_-_TEAMMATE_Template.data folder, and then the DataPC_patch_01.forge folder.

To install the files in the "UI Icons+" folder:

- Use AnvilToolKit to extract DataPC_Resources_patch_01.forge in your game's folder;

- Drop the files on the extracted DataPC_Resources_patch_01.forge folder;

- Repack the folder.

- If I see anyone asking for instructions on how to install I will instantly delete this mod

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing (446 endorsements) and a healthy download count (25k) show it's been tried and liked.
  • Lets you rock gear in cutscenes and bivouac without sacrificing your normal facewear slot—pure cosmetic win.
  • Simple concept, no gameplay overhaul, so it's a safe add for most load orders.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in June 2023—might be stale if the game's had patches since then, so watch for compatibility drift.
  • Cosmetic-only, so if you're after gameplay changes, this won't scratch that itch.
  • No explicit compatibility notes, so there's a small risk it conflicts with other face paint or gear mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who want to show off gear during story moments or camp scenes without giving up their usual facewear. If you're into role-playing and visual flair, this is a neat addition. Skip if you're looking for gameplay tweaks—this is purely cosmetic.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if your game version still matches the mod's last update (June 2023) to avoid issues.
  • Since it's cosmetic, you can preview the face paints in the character creator before committing.
  • If you use a mod manager, install it like any other mod and let the manager handle file placement.
