📋 About This Mod
In short, concept art for New Vegas showed the Boomers with a slightly
wilder look, featuring messier hair, and prominently, face paint. So like LARP, I thought to try and bring the game closer to said art. And all it took was creating only a total of 48 custom races!
I initially wanted to do a fuller overhaul, but I figured not everyone would be into it, or would want parts of it separate, so I'll do it some
other time, using this as a base.
Potential Issues
As this required the process of swapping out the race of each generic and named Boomer character in-game, it WILL have a lot of incompatibilities with other mods that edit those same records.
I tried my best with making some patches for things I already use, but I can't guarantee they're the best. If you make one, or know to improve them, do let me know.
Most of the screenshots have been taken through various iterations of the changes, so some may not correspond 1:1, but you probably wouldn't have noticed this if I didn't point it out.
Also, I might've possibly missed some NPCs? That's not a guarantee, but if I did, again, let me know.
Also also, any mod that adds new Boomers needs to be patched. I'll have one for NV Interiors soon enough.
Incompatibilities
Any skin texture mod. All of them, as this uses vanilla textures as a base.
I will try to make a patch for Character Kit Remake but that'll be the extent of it.
I did however pack in the individual face paints as a resource file, that you may use for your own patches or projects.
Credits
Bethesda for the original textures, I guess. As this was primarily my own work, I don't have any resources I used.
So instead I'll give credit to people from the TTW Discord and their suggestions for titles that went unused!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Faithful to concept art, adds a cool tribal vibe to the Boomers

⚠️ Cons

For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a subtle visual upgrade to the Boomers without overhauling the game. If you're a fan of the faction and dig the concept art look, this is a quick grab. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or more extensive cosmetic overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex.
- Make sure you have ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! enabled to see the new textures in-game.
- If you're using other Boomer-related mods, load this one after them to ensure the face paint takes priority.
