🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A texture and mesh pack for face modules, primarily for Mackom's mods. The author notes it's mostly deprecated by Facelift but keeps it up for useful files. With 91 endorsements and last updated in 2020, it's a niche resource for modders.

✨ Key Features

Includes face textures, hair meshes, resources, and normals for Mackom's face modules.
Author states some files remain useful despite being mostly deprecated by Facelift.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Still has some useful files for Mackom's face modules, even if mostly superseded.
  • Decent download count (2,988) shows some interest from the community.
  • Author is transparent about its deprecated status, so you know what you're getting.

⚠️ Cons

  • Mostly deprecated by Facelift, so you're getting leftovers rather than a complete mod.
  • Last updated in 2020, so it may be outdated for current game versions.
  • No detailed documentation or install instructions provided by the author.
🎯 Is This For You?
For modders who use Mackom's face modules and need extra textures or meshes. If you're looking for a modern face overhaul, skip this and grab Facelift instead.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if Facelift covers your needs first, since this mod is mostly deprecated.
  • If you do use it, manually extract the files to your game's data folder, as no mod manager support is mentioned.
  • Look for the specific face modules you need, as the pack is a collection of resources rather than a single unified mod.
