📋 About This Mod

Description

MWV Human Skin Overhaul is a skin refinement project focused on improving natural skin response, pore visibility and micro surface detail in Starfield while preserving a believable human appearance.

The goal was never to create an exaggerated “wet skin” replacer, but rather to reduce the flat/plastic look often visible under certain lighting conditions and restore a more organic skin reaction to light.

This project evolved through extensive tweaking, texture reconstruction, roughness balancing and Starfield-specific normal map pipeline experimentation.

MWV Human Face Overhaul – NPC Edition

This addon extends the MWV Human Skin Overhaul to NPC face textures and currently provides partial MWV FaceCustomization coverage and supports a large number of MWV-enabled female NPCs. 547 for now.

Additional FaceGen coverage may be expanded in future updates. the same FaceCustomization paths used by MWV FaceGenTattoos and FaceGenTattoos2.

The goal is simple: improve visual consistency between body and face by allowing the satin skin effect and updated facial skin textures to correctly apply on supported MWV NPCs.

This is not a standalone NPC replacer and does not introduce new NPC coverage.

It mirrors 547 FaceCustomization coverage already used by the MWV FaceGen texture packs.
