📋 About This Mod

1. Description

There haven't been many presets shared for lStewieAl's Character Preset Menu, so I figured I'd share some of my own.

It's hard to make good looking characters in New Vegas. I've done the best I can with the available presets, but most presets simply cannot make good looking characters. Even when you make a good looking character in the editor, they may not actually look so good in the world. I've done my best with these to make sure they look good in normal lighting conditions.

I hope you'll find some of my presets useful in your journey to create a character that doesn't look like a potato. 

2. Installation

This mod requires Character Preset Menu.

Install manually or with a mod manager. Ignore any mod manager warnings about file structure.

3. Recommended Mods

I personally use the textures from New Vegas Redesigned 2 (with NPC records cleared from the plugin) alongside the NPC changes from Character Expansions Revised. If you want the eye textures from the screenshots, check out Natural Eyes. For female skin textures, check out zzjay's textures (not represented in most of the screenshots, but I've used options 01 and 05 and have enjoyed it). Lately I prefer Vanilla Plus Face Overhaul with vanilla body textures. For hair textures, check out Vanilla Hair Retextured. For additional hairstyles, take a look at Mo'Hair - Vanilla Haircuts Expanded. For a more youthful vanilla-friendly face option for males and females, check out Better Face.
