The old yet gold overhaul of the Burned Man's appearance to match box art and concept art, now fixed and updated! No more Joshua Graham looking like a mummy from Spirit Halloween.

Author notes
As stated by RocketLombax: "I normally wouldn't mind sharing my work freely, however due to the guarded nature of DLC materials, the armor textures may not be reused. The skin textures though can be used however you see fit. If anybody wants to make a full burned body and make a playable race out of it too, more power to you."
File credits
RocketLombax, for face textures. Bethesda Softworks and Obsidian for the rest of Joshua Graham's appearance and the character itself.

Changelogs
Version 1.2
Actually remembered to decompress records this time! Sorry to all users of 1.1.1.
Renamed the .bsa and the .esp for the last time, I swear.
Version 1.1.1
Fixed naming of the files and updated authors (I didn't include myself, oops) in the .esp description. Not essential to the mod working, you can safely use 1.1 if you downloaded the mod before this update.
Version 1.1
Updated file names so that the game loads assets correctly.
Version 1.0
Initial release.

Some of you are probably familiar with the Authentic Burned Man mod by RocketLombax. While the mod itself does serve greatly to improve the looks of Joshua Graham of Honest Hearts fame, it hasn't aged well - it contains erroneous edits (duplicated records for the African American race, for example) and marks Josh's new face parts as playable, leading to possible confusion and clutter during character creation.
Seeing as the permissions for the mod were open and the author himself hasn't touched it since 2011, I decided to give a try at fixing the aforementioned issues. After all, some of us don't want to bother with NPC overhauls (and the patching that comes with it) when only Joshua's appearance is the thing bothering them.
All credit for the original mod and images go to RocketLombax. Make sure to download their mod and endorse it, the update wouldn't be possible without it!
Summary of changes:
Deleted ITM records
Decompressed records for better loading times
Marked Joshua's new head parts as unplayable
Renamed the .bsa and .esp files to match the name of the mod (from "Better Burned Man")
Requirements:
A working, legal copy of Fallout New Vegas
A mod manager, preferably Mod Organizer 2
The Honest Hearts DLC, obviously
The original mod is not required.
Install instructions: Click the "Download with Mod Manager" button. Install the downloaded file. There you go! Manual installation is not recommended nor will support for it be provided.
Incompatibilities: This mod is going to be incompatible with any mods that also alter the appearance of Joshua Graham. Mods that alter his stats would still need to be patched using xEdit.
