A younger, fresher-looking complexion for your female Soul Survivor.
Be beautiful without a stitch of make-up or pile it on. She'll look great either way!


To get the complete look in character creation, choose "smooth" for forehead and neck, "weathered" for cheeks and the number 01 option for eyes, nose and mouth.

This mod is not supposed to "compete" with Valkyr. I love Fuse's textures which is why I made them compatible.
I just like to make face texture mods and I like more choice.

If you're switching from Valkyr to this on an existing character, you'll probably notice her nose suddenly looks bigger. This is due to Fuse's textures giving the character what I call a normal map "nose job", which is something I do in some of my own textures for other games but not here because Fallout 4 already lets you make incredibly thin noses). Just visit the surgeon or use SLM 14 to slimmify the tip and you might also want to lower the bridge to get the same look back.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO ENDORSE if you like this mod!
I'm a weak-minded man and I NEED strangers to re-affirm my life choices :D


Update 17 May 16 - "Vanilla Colours" version added per request. See images for comparison shots.

Update 18 May 16 - Added a LooksMenu Preset. You can get that mod here. It requires F4SE which is linked on that page. Until Face Ripper is up and running, I have no way to create a preset the usual way.

Update 12 Nov 19 - Added HD DLC Compatible downloads in case the script fix mod isn't working for you. I upscaled the spec with Photoshop's preserve details 2.0 algorithm and made a few tweaks so it should look slightly better but you'll likely not notice a change. 

Also did some minor housekeeping. The loose files versions are set as the main files and the esp set as optional files as there really was no need for an esp and archived files and packed files aren't changed by the HD DLC fix mod leading to people still experiencing the brown face bug. Hopefully it will lead to less issues but the old ESP is still there just in case although it won't break the game if you use the loose files. The ESP didn't have any new records and your character will still use the same texture set.


Technical notes:

  • This complexion significantly alters the colour of the skin. If you have a character that already uses the smooth options, you will probably want to visit the surgeon to change your skin tone. 
  • The main mod changes the textures in actors/character/piper_*.dds. 
  • The optional ESP version alters the record SkinHeadFemaleYoung and is incompatible with mods that alter this record. I don't recommend using this version.
  • Vanilla Piper will remain unchanged as she doesn't actually use the textures named after her. 
  • This mod IS compatible with mods that alter the basefemalehead_*.dds files such as Valkyr Face Texture. You can use both at the same time. In fact, I tried to make the colouring of my textures similar so they can blend together if you decide to use both options for different parts of the face. The results may vary but using any of the vanilla textures on the face will almost certainly look bad due to the colour mis-match.
