About this mod
Have you ever played a big quest mod or any mod that added tons of NPCs but don't like their look and patching them one by one took forever?
With this patcher, you can use NPC's face from other mods like follower mods, overhaul mods, or any mods that added NPC to your desired mod!

Synthesis patch that randomly copies NPCs appearance from the selected mods and assigned their face and default skin to NPCs of the target mods.
However, It'll not be completely random, both NPC (Source and Target) must have
- same race. (currently only support vanilla humanoid race)
- same sex.
- same weight. (It'll try to use NPC with the same weight first for maximum compatibility.)
If something went wrong(No matching weight, not detecting Nif, source NPC contains blacklisted face parts) it'll try to random again up to 10 tries, if it's still got an error, it'll skip that NPC.
*Important note
If the source mod has its NPC files (face nif, tint) contained in .bsa, you MUST extract them to loose file first.

Settings
- Facegen Output Directory: Facegen, tint file output folder.
- Source Mods: The NPC appearances will be copied from these Mod(s).
The plugin must contain the base NPC, Follower mods are ideal. If want to use a vanilla NPC overhaul mod like Bijin, you must select the base game plugins (Skyrim.esm, Dragonborn.esm, etc.)
- Target Mods: The NPC appearances will be applied to these Mod(s).
- Same Name: Npc with the same name, race, and weight will have the same face.
- Patch Female: Patch female NPCs, unselect this if you want to patch only male NPCs.
- Patch Male: Patch male NPCs, unselect this if you want to patch only female NPCs.
- Only Important Npc: Only copy appearance from Protected, Essential NPC. (Recommend)
If untick this when using a big plugin or skyrim.esm as base mods, generic NPC will bloat the source NPC face pool, untested. - Only Vanilla Race: Only patch NPC that uses Humanoid Vanilla race. (Recommend)
If untick, may use some custom race, untested. - Copy Resources To Plugin: Copy the required records to the patch, thus removing the source NPCs mods dependencies from the patch.
- Block Head parts: Blacklist head parts, skip NPC that contain these head parts.
sometimes some head parts did not play well with some NPC or your loadorder, leading to ctd.
You can check a crash log, see what caused the crash, and blacklist it by adding the EditorID there.
You can also add just a part of it and it'll block all the parts that contain that word.
