📋 About This Mod
UPDATE:
FALLOUT CHARACTER OVERHAUL
Description
MotW is a set of different aged playable races with improved headmeshes and facial textures. It is basically what Nuska did to women but done to men and expanded to different ages. After enabling this mod you will see my own version of the Caucasian, Hispanic, African American and Asian races with new headmeshes and diffuse textures and normals for that I sculpted then baked to improve what faces look like. I have also included the mod Women of the Wasteland in this mod to reduce load order and because I plan to work on it more in the future (I have already added some new presets). All work included in this mod can be found in /characters/drumber. Please realise however that the work I have done is just to males (excluding a new diffuse for women), give all credit to what females look like to Nuska I do not want to be credited for work that isn't my own!
The reason these new assets haven't been applied to all NPC's is because doing that is a lot of boring. repetitive work. However I plan to do this in the future, I just thought it was best to get my work so far out there so I am not just sitting on all these assets and so that I can hear peoples opinions on the work so far, so I encourage constructive criticism. I'd also just like to give a special thanks to Nuska she helped me a lot and without her I wouldn't be releasing this work.
Installation
Simply download with NMM or install manually into the data folder then check the esp.
Compatibility
Compatible with everything. I'd always keep my normal maps however as lighting may be a bit off as mine were sculpted to fit my meshes.
Bugs
All known bugs have been fixed.
Archive Invalidation
Go into NMM click on the tool icon at the top and toggle archive invalidation off and on, or turn it off and on using FOMM. Alternatively if you don't use NMM or FOMM which I highly recommend you do, use this ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated.
Permission
All assets in this mod are a Fallout Nexus exclusive, do not ask if you can distribute them on another site. Assets in this mod can be used for follower mods with my permission, if I like your follower mod I might even make some new assets for it if you ask.
