📋 About This Mod
This mod distributes some much needed facial asymmetry for NPCs automatically to make them look more natural and less "doll-like". Not saved in your savefile so you can install and uninstall any time you want.
Most of it is subtle, as most human faces are slightly asymmetrical, not overtly so. You can however configure it in the INI.
April Fools README:
The base game doesn't have enough facial asymmetry for my liking.
This mod fixes that.
Now you can truly play in a cubist setting!

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Check if you have other facial mods that might conflict—this one changes NPC faces, so it could clash with overhauls that edit the same records.
