About this mod
A mini framework to help to create oni or asian face enhanced chars without conflicting with vanilla chars
- Permissions and credits
It's a long time I wanted to do that. Create a mini framework for Oni and Afe.
A simple plugin. Nothing more.
The base
When installing Oni Face Parts or Asian Face Enhance that overwrite Vanilla files and immediately all npc on Commonwealth start to use the files. With various results, not always happy, from my point of view.
The solution
My idea is to separate oni face parts and asian face enhanced from the global data and use them separately to create unique chars without overwriting the global files. This is what this mod do.
Technically, I cloned all data that are relative to oni or afe and changed my oni of afe chars to use the new references.
This give a few presets in character creation that use one or the other reference. The preset 5 use Oni, the Preset 6 use Afe and the framework itself contain all required data.
From this point it become possible to create a new char using one of the preset, save it as lookemenu preset and reload it when needed, all without reinstalling oni or afe. They are mutually exclusive, you can't use the two at same time. With this framework we can now use the two at same time without changing vanilla npc's.
The created characters are humans, no need to create a new race.
The limitation
Because these presets are humans, it's not possible to create a separated custom body/face texture, we have to use the installed face/body texture for human race.
It's generally always the case, to use a new texture for humans, you have to install a texture that overwrite the existing, or change the human race data with the tons of conflicts with others mod that do that like looksmenu compendium, discrete female skeleton and a lot of others, and last one is to directly create a new race with more limitation than the human race.
I think my solution is a decent compromise.
The note
This little framework also offers access to blinds eyes and to ghouls eyes.
How to use
I cloned the human eyes and changed their name to correspond to Oni or Afe by prefixing them with Afe or Oni. If you create an Afe char, you must use the Afe eyes. Not the vanilla or Oni ones.
If you create a char with this framework and want distribute it, you must add this framework as requirement.
Compatibility
If you want use a looksmenu preset (json file) that use oni or afe but is not framework ready, you have to edit the file and change the global heads parts references to the same corresponding heads parts in the framework. That require xEdit to do that.
It's all
