📋 About This Mod
I really like some of Starfield's new NPC features, especially the crowd system
But I DESPISE the fact that everyone is the same height (yeah I know it's nitpicky, but muh immurshun).
This mod changes that.
REQUIRES SFSE
This mod randomises NPC heights so they're kept the same across save files and
playthroughs, and comes with a highly customisable INI file to tweak the
distribution to your liking. Default settings are tuned for what we provides the best balance of realism and diversity.
FEATURES:
- Customisable value for maximum height change (e.g. ± 0. 15 is the default)
- Can be made to scale more or less variably, or to give the genders different average heights
- Comes with three different functions for calculating height: (1) realistic, (2) semi-realistic, and (3) highly varied
- Completely safe to customise or uninstall mid-playthrough
-Patches engine issue that makes Player. SetScale not have any sort of effect.
For those interested in the maths, here are our inverse cumulative distribution
functions, where |x| < 0. 5. See the mod images for a graphical
comparison: NOTE: Option 1 is approximately an inverse CDF with mean of 0, and standard deviation of 4/70. This number was
chosen assuming that a scale of 1. 0 is 5'10" (or 70"), thus giving an
in-game stddev of 4" just like real life.
Option 1: f(x) = (0. 115 x) / (1 - (0. 115)(14. 9)|x|)
Option 2: g(x) = (2x-1)|2x|^(3) / 2
Option 3: h(x) = (2x-1)|1. 25x|^(3/2)
