About this mod

NPC visual improvements

Permissions and credits
Changelogs


This mod aims to improve on the visual as
pect of most of the named NPCs in the Commonwealth.
Mainly the faces that Bethesda probably had no time to tinker manually. Faces that had no resemblance of human beings, no offence to Bethesda, but most were apeshit ugly.

CREF NPCs 1.2 is available. Adds various npcs to the count.
CREF Companions 1.1 is available.
For changelog see at page bottom.

NOW with Fomod installers.

This is no beautification mod, we simply tried to amplify the characteristics of generic NPCs in a realistic way. We mostly got rid of simmetry and bug eyes, we also changed their hair styles using other mods when necessary.
Some of the other mods used are essential, because other hair and beard styles were needed to improve the overall variety of the characters. Please do not ask for a vanilla hair version, cause it would undermine the basic idea of this mod.
Due to the big success of this mod, we decided to grant your wishes for a vanilla hair version.

The idea is to have unique looking NPCs, kind of like The Witcher 3, to increase immersion and variety throughout the wasteland. We tried to make them photogenic and unique, so it wouldn’t seem as you are speaking to the same NPC all around the Commonwealth. We’ve been inspired by works from Milos Forman and Wes Anderson in
terms of casting. We also tried to stay true to their voices and attitudes, resulting in some NPCs being only tweaked to have a realistic look, while some others have been strongly rearranged, to resemble their true nature.


CREF Companions
Download also this one to change the appearance of your followers. Not included in CREF NPCs.


"I've got word of another settlement that needs our mod..." Preston Garvey

"Just because you changed my face, doesn't mean we are friends" Marcy Long

"Ad Victoriam!" Paladin Danse

"War has changed." Paladin Brandis


CREF DLC
Optional download to change appearance of NPCs present in official DLCs.
Automatron DLC is required.


We hope to appease any gamer out there looking for a realistic and immersive experience. Major improvements are in the works to also change their body type, now that the CK has been released.
