About this mod
(As of patch 1.08, changing complexion is now a feature of the game, and mods are no longer required) This takes the face textures, normal maps, etc. from female preset 1, and puts them on female preset 5.

The 1.08 patch has invalidated this mod. You can now select which complexion you would like your character to have in the character creator, and there is a "Facial Reconstruction Suite" station in the med bay on the Tempest where you can change your face, complexion, hair, makeup, etc. whenever you want to. Here is a screenshot showing where the station is located (walk into the med bay and turn to the left to find it):
Original Mod Description:
This is an attempt to make female preset 5 look nicer by trying to replace the face/head textures, normal maps, etc. from female preset 5 with the ones from female preset 1.
This mod requires Frosty Mod Manager in order to be installed (note that Frosty Mod Manager is not compatible with MEAExplorerWV):

The idea for this came from the work done by Atherisz in a mini-mod available in the Misc. downloads for his Romance For All mod, and I created this since he has yet to update his female complexion mods for Frosty Mod Manager:

Note: This is not a copy-and-paste of Atherisz's mod. His mod helped me figure out the paths to the textures, but I did the rest of the work myself (not that there was much work involved in saving a few textures and then opening them again in the mod editor). More textures were replaced in this mod as well, however I don't think I noticed any real difference in-game (possibly due to poor lighting on the Tempest when I tested).
Regarding sharing/redistribution of my mods:
I don't mind sharing or redistributing the file, however I would appreciate a link back to the mod's page at NexusMods so that people know where the mod came from, and can easily check for new versions.
