I'd say this is a pretty underrated mod. The pictures don't really sell the changes in game very well and most of the characters are still very much keeping with their original styles. This isn't one of those mods that makes characters completely unrecognizable. I'd say the faces are much more realistic now in proportion with a more balanced triangle of eye-nose-mouth, while changes to many characters jaws and chins makes their features appear a bit stronger.
Several characters like Cait, Danse, and Preston look a lot better. Preston's face doesn't look as 'soft', Cait seems to have eyes and mouth resized, less makeup and a bit healthier skin tone - very nice change. Piper oddly enough looks radically different than her vanilla version when you see her in game - I really like it but I think her eyes may be a bit too small with her new facial structure. MacReady's new jawline makes the face look less squashed imo, and Deacon still seems like Deacon to me. Curie's new hair and brighter makeup really stands out and it's probably the only one in the batch I really don't like the look of.
The photos dont do these justice - especially Cait. OMFG she looks WAY more realistic now. Also thanks for the looksmenu presets, I didnt wanna deal with esp / resaver if I decided to not go with your presets.
I thought my ENB + Real HD combo looked realistic already - but the tweaks you made on Cait (i.e. the eyes smaller) really go a long way to making her damn near photorealistic with my setup.
By now everyone should know Bethesda went with a slightly comic / cartoony artstyle with F04, and it seems most modders go for a more realistic looks with their NPC / settler replacers - your Cait really goes a long way towards me giving all the npcs a more consisten look. Thank you!
Endorsed and tracked in case you make any more presets / updates.
Differences are very slight, way more noticeable on Cait and MacCready when I upload them, which should be soon. :) They're meant to stay true to the original companion so that they would look as if they're potentially unmodded ( when they really are )
