About this mod
The Headcase flavor of Gage. Tastes like pragmatism and calculated backstabbing...
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
When I first started, I honestly wasn't sure if I'd have the follow through to reach this point, but with this release, I have finally finished up all the main companion mods I had planned. I still have other mod ideas, the Ace Male Race versions of the male companions, remodels for the other NPCs in the game, potentially a Hancock mod at some point if I decide there's enough I can do with him to set it apart, and some other stuff, but this feels like the completion of my first real goal I had planned for my mods. I honestly dunno if I would've stuck with it this far if I didn't get so much really nice feedback on my other mods, so I just wanna take a second to say thank you to anyone who has enjoyed any of these so far, and I hope you like what I did with this one too.
As usual there is a LooksMenu preset included with the mod too, in case anyone wants to use it for anything in their game.
And finally I also just wanna say an absolutely huge thank you to DanielEA on Ko-fi for being the first person to ever give me a donation, I honestly felt weird about even having a Ko-fi page set up before that because I kinda felt like I wasn't doing enough to justify that kind of support and that I'd just be laughed off the platform, so it really does mean a whole lot to know that I'm not just an arrogant asshole for even considering the possibility that someone might enjoy my work enough to consider donating. If anyone else wants to check out the page you can find it here, but donation is in no way required for any of my mods, I just offer updates and previews for the mods I'm currently working on because I want the actual content of my mods to always remain free to everyone.
REQUIREMENTS
These are all hard requirements necessary for the mod to function.
or
ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL MODS
These mods aren't required to get the mod working, but I highly recommend at least getting the face textures if you want him to look the same as in the screenshots. His face can look quite a bit different depending on what face textures you're using for males.
And these are some additional, mostly unrelated mods that also contribute to the way the screenshots look, in case anyone wants to get him to look as close as possible to how he does in those.
Please make sure to endorse any of the required or optional mods that you use and enjoy!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Nothing complicated here, just download the mod file and install with a mod manager like any other mod, or install manually and activate the plugin.
QUICK NOTE ON THE RUSTY/BROWN FACE BUG
On paper, nothing in my mod should cause the rusty face glitch to occur, at least not without there already being a texture resolution mismatch already in your load order. But since I have recommended you use the Natural 2K Face Textures by Fuse00, and since this bug can be elusive as hell and I usually get at least one comment on each mod I post from someone having issues with it, I thought I'd just include a link to this fantastic guide by Gatsby1304. Make sure to follow the guide exactly, sticking to either the 2K or 4K section depending on what resolution your preferred face textures are, and you should no longer have any issues with the rusty face bug, with my mod, or any others. Please also be sure to endorse it if it helped you.
In my experience for the male NPCs, it's usually enough just to download and install Real HD Face Textures 2K by Avallonkao (you don't actually need to use the textures from this mod, you just need the "Real HD Main File") before then installing the face textures you want to use, and then just making sure you're using the 2K version of LooksMenu Customization Compendium by waelisa. But that can also sometimes lead to unrelated female NPCs getting the bug, so you would then need 2K face textures for females too, and then also to grab the 2K makeup from Gatsby1304's guide page. It's a headache, I know. If there was a simple, one-download fix for it, I'd point you there instead, but unfortunately this seems to be the only way, and some people still seem to get the issue after following the guide anyway.
CREDITS
I just want to say a final huge thank you to all of these awesome modders, without whom this mod wouldn't have been possible, please go send them some love, and endorse their mods!
And lastly, an absolutely massive thank you to anyone at all who downloads and enjoys my mod!
