Description

Just some subjective face improvements to vanilla companions: Preston, Gage, Old Longfellow, X6-88, Maccready and Deacon. I also included a slightly cleaner-face Danse.

If you only want several companions' new look, you can PM me so i can make that option for you.

FaceGen files come exclusively for both X Cell and Atomic Muscle 2 users. Actually this mod was created just to tackle the harassment of modifying companions' look when X Cell installed. 

All faces are using 1k textures and most are vanilla.

Optional BodyGen files are included as well for Atomic Muscle users in FOMOD installation.

Looksmenu presets of these six companions new looks and cleaner-face Danse's are included in a separate download.

Requirements

Atomic Muscle 2.0+ (Ulfberto's Patreon): Hard requirement only if you use X Cell. If you are using other male body mod and you also use X Cell, let me know so I can regenerate FaceGen files. If you don't use X Cell then it doesn't matter which male body mod you use.

The Eyes of Beauty: Hard Requirement

Few More Male Hairstyles: Hard Requirement

Beards N' Staches: Hard Requirement

Appealing Moles: Soft Requirement

Extended Facial Sculpting this one or this one: Almost hard requirement. If you want 100% the same as screenshots, this is a hard requirement. I am using the latter one.

Installation

Install by mod manager. The esp file is esl-flagged.

Compatibility

Compatible with Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch

Compatible with Better Companion

Put this mod after AM Skingen.

FAQ

1. Is FaceGen data included?

For non X Cell users, no need to use FaceGen files because they will not be read by game.

For both X Cell and Atomic Muscle 2 users, FaceGen files are mandatory during FOMOD installation. I have made FaceGen files for Atomic Muscle 2 in this mod, and you will need this patch as well.

For X Cell users using other male body mods, don't select FaceGen files during FOMOD installation. You will need to generate your own FaceGen files, or you can PM me so I can generate them for you.

2. Can I change XX's look and bodyshape in game?

For non X Cell users, yes. Use either console command "slm XX's ID" or SAM.

For X Cell users, you have following choices: 1) directly modifying the .nif files or .dds files, or 2) create a new esp file containing the new appearance and regenarate the FaceGen files, or 3) add "Is CharGen Face Present" of XX in FOEdit or exclude XX in the config file of X Cell.

3. How to change XX's default look and body triangle?

Use Creation Kit or Face Ripper and either directly modify my esp file or create your own esp file.

For X Cell users, in addition to the step above, please also regenerate the FaceGen files of XX and overwrite the files in this mod or add "Is CharGen Face Present" of XX in FOEdit, or exclude XX in the config file of X Cell.

4. I am using Atomic Muscle Legacy or Atomic Muscle 2, how to change XX's default Atomic Muscle body, penis & anus sliders?

Open the F4SE folder of this mod and navigate till you find two .ini files, and play with those two .ini files.

If you don't use Atomic Muscle, you can delete the entire F4SE folder or leave it there.

5. Brown face bug or invisible body bug?

For non X Cell users, open console and click XX and type "disable", hit Enter and then type "enable" and hit Enter. This should fix it.

For X Cell users, this shouldn't happen. But do let me know if it does.

6. 2K face textures or high poly head?

I don't use neither of these two mods so I can't provide support. Probably you will need to regenerate FaceGen files if my mod doesn't work well.

Known Issues

Let me know any other mods that require a patch.

FOMOD installation should work with Vortex.
