📋 About This Mod
UNFAMILIAR FACES II
Howdy folks, it's your friendly neighborhood DV here with another hot mess of people-shaped protagonists. I had so much fun making my first round of public presets that I just couldn't stop. Also my perennial indecisiveness about flora mods has my LOD situation well and truly borked, so, while I'm procrastinating figuring out DynDOLOD for the umpteenth time, it's all close-up portraiture all the time!
If you like the looks of these folks and also enjoy shooting robots and hoarding wonderglue, check out this collection of faces for Fallout 4.
And always remember: If you like it Endorse it!
Presets! Racemenu presets. Check 'em out- 15 different faces and bodies from which to build your own unique and special Dragonborn. No pinprick noses, alarmingly large eyes, giant hooters, or silicone lips here- that particular "aesthetic" is already plenty well served elsewhere, to nauseating extent. For this collection expect faces that look reasonably proportioned from a variety of angles. Some are conventionally attractive, some endearingly homely, all are distinct from each other, and hopefully from other presets available elsewhere.
Most of these are scratch-built from Bethesda's stock set of starter gumbies. Some may have begun with someone else's preset, but have mutated quite a bit beyond their origins. If you recognize your handiwork, please let me know so that I can give you proper credit. Certain characteristics have been patterned on my friends and myself. Other elements are pure filigree of the imagination. The names are scientific Latin for various flora and fauna, archaic versions of modern names, and other monikers that seemed of a piece with Skyrim's eclectic fantasy vibe.
WHO?
Inspired by Vermillion's recent and delightful preset compilation, I actually came up with some backstory this time. Not too much in the way of specific biographical information, just some hooks to help jumpstart the story of your own unique Dragonborn.
*Note that all Human races and all Mer races, respectively, share pretty similar underlying facial structure, so with a little elbow grease you could get most of the faces to show up with minimal distortion on different related folk. And, obviously, your own personal character based on any of the above carries with them your/their own personal sense of gender polarity.
HOW DO I MAKE IT WORK?
Plug the files into your mod organizer of choice (I recommend Mod Organizer 2) open up the presets that start with "DV" in Racemenu (start a new game, or type "showracemenu" into the console) and modify these guys, gals, and all around excel
