📋 About This Mod
Fixes the infamous normal/age map bug with OCO faces while using Blockhead. It utilizes a quest script (OBSE required) that simply detects when you load a save, or boot up the game then load your save, it then changes the player's sex (via a console command, one far less glitchy than player.update3d) twice in a single frame (you won't even see the change, not even a flicker.)
There will be a slight delay as the quest script will have to boot up, but once you save after it does so, it'll be baked into your save and refresh your character's face immediately any time you load in the future.
A quest script patch for Oblivion that fixes the normal and age maps bug caused by Blockhead. With 310 endorsements and 55,071 downloads, it's a well-received fix for a common issue. Last updated March 2025, it remains relevant for current modded setups.
