Detailed Male Faces by dretmo
Provides a more detailed skin texture on male faces for a more natural look.
The intention is to stay close to the vanilla game as much as possible but improve the grungy look of a lot of the male faces. The main features are:
- []Repainted diffuse texture (2k) to add detail []Reduced the influence of the detail maps for 40/50 years old and rough complexions []Smoothed the normal maps a little for affected races []There is also a rougher version that only has the new diffuse texture
Credits
- []Ousnius and Caliente for making it easy to import models into Blender using their BodySlide and Outfit Studio []Blender for texture painting tools []Adobe Photoshop for texture manipulation []Nvidia for their dds tools
- The Nexus Network, for providing a great community for modders.

- Community-approved with 1,785 endorsements—plenty of players vouch for it.

- Does exactly what it says: more natural male face textures, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—might not be compatible with newer game patches or other mods.

- Potential conflicts with other texture overhauls that touch face textures.
