📋 About This Mod
In honor of 1 year since the ZD remaster came out, here's a small mod swapping Aloy's textures from Forbidden West for those from Zero Dawn Remastered.
The Remastered Textures feature:
- more even skin tone
- more shading around the jawline
- less redness and burns on the skin
- and more subtle differences

What’s the different between this mod and my “Zero Dawn” retexture?
- Aloy Remastered: I pulled Aloy’s face textures directly from ZD Remastered and swapped them in to FW. This Aloy is for players who liked her Remastered Look.
- Zero Dawn Retexture: I pulled elements of Aloys texture from the original version of ZD and created by hand a FW version that mimicked the original ZD texture as much as possible. This Aloy is for players who liked her Original/Complete Edition ZD Look.
