Ever wondered what's the point of having all the custom hairstyles, eyes, hundreds of presets, when all you can do is only apply it to yourself? Why bother doing all this when everyone else is still going to look like half a ghoul and give you nightmares by just looking at them?
Now you need to wonder no more!
With the Fallout Genetics patcher, everyone can look b-e-a-utiful by genetically modifying their looks using all the preset files that you have so painfully made and collected. Your experience with fallout will be personalized by populating the wasteland with the people you like to look at and its your choice that matters.
This mod aims to let you customize the wasteland by changing the looks of EVERYONE in the game, even the starting player characters, by distributing your collections of custom hairs, eyes, etc. throughout the NPCs in the game.
What does the mod do:
- All custom parts including eyes, hairstyles can now be distributed among everyone through the wasteland, even unique premade NPCs .
- The BIGGEST contribution of this mod is the genetics system that lets you modify everyone with your customized presets: If you have a set of 50-60 presets that you think are really good looking and that the characters in the game suck ass, then you can distribute those looks (looks menu morphs) to everyone and build everyone from the ground up and its almost guaranteed that everyone is going to look VERY different: The mod works by selecting two random presets from your collection and producing a child preset out of those and applying this preset to a game character. You only need ~50-60 presets to guarantee that almost everyone is going to be different.
- It preserves the aesthetics of the game by leaving the scars and unique textures for each NPC so they still have the original feel to them and can still make them look much better with custom looks.
- If you have installed other mods that change the way some characters look, this mod can skip those and only modify other vanilla looking characters.

F.A.Q:
1. No seriously, how compatible is this?
This is a z-edit UPF patcher. Which means that it will look at your modlist and build a customized patcher for you. Which means that it will be compatible with ANY mod that you have installed. The only downside (which is not really a downside) is that you will have to build the patcher again after deleting any mods from the list.
2. What can break this?
Things which modify the human race and change its default structure.
3. Can I add female headparts to male and male headparts to female?
It will not break anything, just that everyone will have weird disconnects between their bodies and heads.
Known Bugs:
- Need to toggle the settings for them to get loaded correctly. Go to settings and toggle all settings, then set them to the desired values.
- None that I am currently aware of.
Always make sure that you are using good preset files.
