📋 About This Mod

This is a high poly head version of the latest (currently) version of OBIS, 2. 76.

All vanilla race bandits with records in OBIS (which includes some vanilla bandits) have been given high poly heads. Most female records have been given KS Hairdo's as well. For male records, most still use vanilla hair besides most of the unique bandits (I. E. bounty leaders.)

This mod includes:

facegen, tintmasks, and the NPC record changes in the ESP flagged ESL.

This mod doesn't include:

unique NPC body meshes, skin or hair textures, outfit changes or any other changes outside of what is mentioned.

Compatibility:

This mod may have issues with older versions of OBIS since it uses the NPC records from version 2. 76. If you're using an older version and are able to use this mod without issue, I'll update the compatibility information. I generally would advise to use one of the older high poly head overhauls for OBIS if you aren't using 2. 76.

OBIS and by extension, this mod, edit some vanilla bandit records. If you have an NPC overhaul that edits vanilla bandit records you may have conflicts. I'd recommend letting my mod overwrite unless the overhaul you are using has a patch for OBIS as OBIS adds minor changes to the records.

As to avoid additional requirements of brow mods for users, I've only used the brows from the high poly head mod.
