She doesn't look bad. But I do have a question. Skyrim has always been my big modded game. But I have been dabbling in Starfield. In Skyrim the companion replacers generally completely overhaul a characters looks. With each replacer looking nothing like the previous. But I have noticed with Starfield each 'replacer' can barely be called replacer. Many just alter make u or maybe a jaw angle. Very few changes overall.
Are full replacers even possible in Starfield? Is it just harder? If its possible and not any harder why do you think we don't see the complete replacers like we do in Skyrim? Lydia is probably the easiest example. There are probably hundred examples of her replacer, all of them different looking nothing like the previous or the original.
I understand where you're coming from. I have made a few very subtle npc appearance mods (and a couple real replacers) for Starfield. The characters in this game are already essentially perfect and graphically up-to-date. Skyrim npc replacers can be dramatic because modders take a very old game and bring it up to date, including updating assets for npcs.
The creation kit for Skyrim was fairly limiting for making npcs. It didn't have a lot of options or tools to sculpt a character entirely to one's liking. So modders, with tools such as RaceMenu for Skyrim, have a lot of freedom to entirely artistically remake a character's generic appearance.
Starfield's creation kit allows for more sculpting and refining for characters. Sarah and Andreja are very unique. Their overall designs perfectly suit the characters - although depending on one's taste, there is room for improvement.
Exactly what heyiloveya said. I had also already done a playthrough with Andreja as a companion so I grew accustomed to what she looked like. I have a Jessamine and Sarah replacer that are more revamped than this one, because I hadn't done a playthrough with them yet.
