About this mod
Subtle changes to NPCs that were made without care.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Description:
While OCO2 is an amazing face overhaul, its lack of middle age complexions made mature NPCs look younger than they should, variations were lost, many edits to NPCs also lean toward beautification rather than lore friendly improvements. This is where I found vanilla faces to have its own charm, and most of them are definitely not as bad as people claim. However there are indeed some deformed potatoes and downright monstrosity NPCs in the game that look like it was sculpted by a toddler.
Undeformed Potatoes - Subtle NPC Overhaul is an attempt to amend those ugly NPCs with these goals:
- Lightweight NPC overhaul that only adjust unnatural looking vanilla NPCs that were made by Bethesda without care: this means ugly people remain unchanged as I try my best to avoid unnecessary "beautification" of NPCs like other mods out there. I'm only looking to change NPCs that have slightly or largely deformed look such as Jorck, Wilheim, Kalthar,... to have more human looking face.
- Retain original character traits as much as possible: this means no hair change, even colors, complexion remain the same, no out of scope stat or gameplay related changes.
- Included fixes from UOPs.
- Made for people who play with vanilla graphic, minimal mod setup and people who don't want drastic NPC overhaul but still want better looking NPCs.
Here is a detailed changelog on what I did:
As of the current version, the most glaring NPCs have been adjusted. But do let me know if you find one that still looks glaring enough!
Requirement:
Unofficial Oblivion Patch is required due to this mod including fixes for the NPCs from it.
Currently, this mod requires some official Oblivion DLCs because of edits made to the potatoes resided there, if you think I should make a non DLC version then let me know in the comment section.
Recommended mods:
Lore Friendly Elves Eyes by me - Bringing back elves eyes design from other TES games.
Oblivion Upscaled Textures by Kartoffels - Amazing upscaled textures for vanilla faces, I recommend you to download the characters optional file (3.0) but ONLY copy the facemap textures (headhumanf10, headhumanm10, 20, 30, ...) from darkelf, imperial and orc folders.
High Resolution Faces for Roberts Male and Female by Robert and improved by Foxroe - This face diffuse retexture is very close to the vanilla face texture which is a definitive improvement but still fitting with vanilla visual style. (ONLY the default diffuse face texture: headdarkelf.dds, headhuman.dds, headorc.dds)
