About this mod

ABOUT THE MOD:
About a year ago, the user rumpleBrumble698 released a mod that allowed players to use an improved take on the original SC6 skin textures instead of the arguably lackluster ones that many people seem to have issues with from SC6. Personally, I am not a fan of the way Project Soul handled some of the faces this time around and I'm glad I got to download the mod before it was removed.

The modder in question has long deleted their account, and cannot be contacted anymore.

The SC5/LS textures seem to add more detail to the face, darkening some of the edges and placing a more significant emphasis around the eyes (which can be pretty clear in regards to some of the characters), baked shadows (also known as fake ambient occlusion) and higher-resolution textures overall. It also adds more detail to the body, fixing some of the present seams, and better resembles the main cast's classic looks from SC4.

This only affects the CAS versions of the original characters and the main roster. It is NOT compatible with nude mods as it'll generate seams.

HOW TO INSTALL:
In order to install this mod, you must create a folder called "~mods" located in STEAM/steamapps/common/SoulcaliburVI/Content/Paks and place the file in that folder you just created. To uninstall the mod, simply delete the file in question.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
For the previews in the gallery, the left is modded and the right is vanilla. The picture below simply shows off the models with the mod active.


All credit goes to the original mod maker as I am only re-uploading this for the sake of preserving it. I personally find this mod to be of great value, seeing that the SOULCALIBUR V textures are of a higher quality not only due to their resolution but also due to their detail and baked-in AO (Ambient Occlusion). The mod also includes a version that affects Young Siegfried's face.

Thanks, and enjoy the mod!

EXTRA:
There's always room for improvement in regard to this mod. If you have any experience with editing textures, we could perhaps expand this mod further by addressing NPC-exclusive characters that are not affected by this mod and provide additional fixes. Feel free to reach out to me in that case!

If you wish to support my work or would like to discuss a potential commission (namely in regards to audio changes such as voice mods, music swaps, and the likes), please reach out to me through ko-fi or shoot me a message here!
