📋 About This Mod
Some of you are probably familiar with the Authentic Burned Man mod by RocketLombax. While the mod itself does serve greatly to improve the looks of Joshua Graham of Honest Hearts fame, it hasn't aged well - it contains erroneous edits (duplicated records for the African American race, for example) and marks Josh's new face parts as playable, leading to possible confusion and clutter during character creation.
Seeing as the permissions for the mod were open and the author himself hasn't touched it since 2011, I decided to give a try at fixing the aforementioned issues. After all, some of us don't want to bother with NPC overhauls (and the patching that comes with it) when only Joshua's appearance is the thing bothering them.
All credit for the original mod and images go to RocketLombax. Make sure to download their mod and endorse it, the update wouldn't be possible without it!
