📋 About This Mod
Citrus NPC Overhaul
Everyone Remastered
- All NPCs in the game remastered in high definition.
- All content is Safe For Work.
- All DLC supported.
- 330's Pilot Overhaul Compatibility.
- Should be compatible with all other addons.
Every Game Pilot is Remastered
All game pilots, even the ugly ones look incredible.
Every DLC Character is Remastered
All DLC are supported. Even that full body artwork.
Optional Addon: The Cutting Room Floor
120 Additional Pilots
When creating remasters for the characters, you see endless images that don't just match up but still look incredible.
The best of these have been packed up as an optional addon.
See my other mod: 700+ high definition pilots!
Citrus Pilot Addon

Citrus Pilot Addon adds over 700 additional high definition pilots, but does venture into NSFW territory.
Quality Statement:
I made a huge high definition pilot mod, and it would always bug me seeing a mix of high definition, and low quality characters.
Especially the Ryana image which will radio in during most missions.
So I decided to remaster her image, then well I went and did the rest too.
The result is this mod, Citrus NPC Overhaul.
I have made this mod (Citrus NPC Overhaul) to remaster but not deviate too far from the original intent.
Great care has been taken to keep each remastered character grounded, while achieving high quality presentation.
The cutting room floor addon does deviate from this a little but still attempts to be lore plausible.
The idea is so as many people as possible can have an enhanced experience.
This mod is also completely Safe For Work.
Update 1. 4. 3:
- Updated "female player" portrait to unisex
(the game uses this for men at times)
Update 1. 4. 2:
- Updated Sebas
Citrus NPC Overhaul remasters every NPC and pilot in high definition using AI technology, including all DLC content. It's a comprehensive visual upgrade for players who want sharper character models across the entire game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Covers every NPC and pilot, including DLC, so you get a complete visual overhaul in one mod
- AI-enhanced upscaling means sharper textures without manual work
- Decent community traction with 114 endorsements and nearly 6k downloads
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind on the visual result
- Last updated July 2026, but no compatibility notes for other mods that alter NPCs
For players who want a quick, all-in-one visual upgrade for NPCs and pilots without hunting for individual mods. If you're into lore-friendly overhauls or want to freshen up character models, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer hand-crafted retextures or need specific NPC customization.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod covers all NPCs, it may conflict with other character overhaul mods — install it last and test in a new save if possible.
- Check if your game version matches the mod's update date (July 2026) to avoid compatibility issues.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep things clean.
