have used this mod for several weeks. Such a great companion! Wish you had other FO4 companion mods to complement this one. Very much enjoyed using this mod.
Just once I'd like to see a custom companion that doesn't suffer from the brown face bug. And no, I do not have the HD DLC installed so suggesting the "fix mod" won't help.
Every instance I've seen in a custom companion is caused by using a 512 specular on the face while using a 1k or greater specular on everything else. If you put an SD face on an HD body you get the bug.
I fixed Companion Charlotte, which was doing exactly the same thing, by stripping out the custom race and defaulting her back to human and standard skins (my installed HD skin textures). A shame I have to do it again for Kimiko. At least there's no custom race here so it should be a bit easier.
Please, when you get around to updating this mod, make the textures match. All SD or all HD, pick one and stick with it.
I used the CK to change their race to human (should be doable in FO4Edit). That makes them default back to whatever body shape and skin you have installed, and you can use LooksMenu to redo their appearance and make them look at least close to the original author's intent. I also fixed Charlotte's height in the CK to 0.9 to keep her short.
THIS!!! YES! Every other companion is fine. the bug fixes on nexus have worked with every other one, but Kimiko still has the bug :/ I am going to try a patch by copying a specular map from one of the correctly working companions and place the copy into Kimiko's folder in the Nexus Mod Staging folder. No reason it shouldnt work.
