📋 About This Mod

Mod Description

Improves faces and clothes of all main and side characters to a more quality ones.

This mod took a few months to make, as this was my longest running side project that finally came to the "ready-to-release" phase,

since all of the textures are custom hand-made/edited, it took a lot of time.

Version 2. 0 of the mod has been released

How to install:

Extract and copy "CharactersOverhaul" folder from .rar archive, into your LML folder. (Meaning you must have Lennys Mod Loader set-up and working)

If updating, please remove the previous mod version first, and then install the new updated version!

NOTE2:

Don't mistake this mod with "4k Improved Story and Side Characters", that one uses Vanilla textures but upscaled to 4k, while "Character Textures Overhaul" uses completely hand-made textures.

If you are wondering in which one of these mods the characters look better, well they definitely look better in this mod "Character Textures Overhaul", while I made "4k Improved" mod as quick as possible, "Character Textures Overhaul" is a complete labor of love with different direction in mind.

BTW Don't use both mods at the same time!
