looks great, but lightening her skin is a pretty controversial move... people of colour don't get a lot of representation in games, so it's generally frowned upon to lessen that representation even more. would definitely be using this mod if it weren't for that, though!
That was a concern for me too, but in-game her skin colour doesn't appear to be lightened at all (I'm using the first mod). This is lovely btw! I have just endorsed it.
Sorry about the late response, I rarely check on my old mods here... but, to clarify for others, no I did not change her skin tone at all. I only made a new skin texture, which has the same base color as the original - it might be that the darker makeup makes her look paler in comparison? Or it could just be my screens. I'm very much against the paler Isabella mods so I wanted to make that clear
It's also ridiculous to make her darker for representation purposes as Bioware demonstrably did do. Please stop hating on other's art and for liking Bioware's original vision.
My new favorite Isabela appearance mod. But a few questions, as a mod layman: Is this mod incompatible with other Isabela armor mods? For example, I can't use mods such as Garments of the Pirate Queen or Isabela Improved Armor mods with this one, despite this one appearing to cause no change to her armor. Intended?
Also, I get fps drops during cutscenes that close in on her face. My PC should be more than capable of handling the game, but I get noticeable drops during Isabela close ups.
I really don't know what would be causing either issue - I even downloaded both versions of my mod to double check - nothing got uploaded that shouldn't have. I've actually cycled through a couple armor mods for her without issues. Maybe you have another mod that is conflicting? (The armor in my screenshots is not included, obviously, it was just the one I was using when I took the screens.)
As for the FPS drop - the custom texture is exactly the same size and format as the default female face texture. The custom eye texture used in Version 2 is only marginally larger than the default (86 kb - most of the eye texture replacements on this site are way larger). My computer is not that great and I haven't noticed anything, so again, I'm not sure what the problem could be? Do you have any other replacers (hair/eyelash, etc.)?
my issue is shes got the red armband on from the moment i meet her, and iirc thats a romance thing. We havent even had many convos much less romanced heh. So idk if its from this one or paint it black probably going to subtract things till i figure it out. Just thought i would give a heads up
I've been using this for awhile and already endorsed it, but I was looking at my screenshots today and I had to come here and say the textures that come with this are so pretty! I always felt that Isabela was a little light on the cosmetics for her personality, so the bold red lipstick and elegant eyeshadow are lovely touches. Plus her eyes are stunning.
