How to make a nice looking character, or where to get presets?

DZ302 · January 14, 2014

In Skyrim there are so many good looking preset characters and races full of presets on Nexus, but I can't find a single one on FNV Nexus, am I missing some or are they just hard to find? Like you'd think there would be a Lara Croft (rebooted) one or something, I would be happy with that.

I do see some screenshots with characters that look like this:

But how would you make that?

Cheers

I remember stuff like this from my very simple and easy modding days from Oblivion(I only did self mods, but now I'm working on scripting in my own mod)

Basically, here's how I remember doing it, now, the issue is with making your character using a present, is you are using a present, meaning if you upload it, the person needs to download the present to get your character to work, and not to mention you would need to make sure you get the person's permission to do so.

But let me list off some stuff to get you started(as I can make a longer tutorial later or just point you towards one if you want me to.)

The hair and face models section of FNVNexus has some presents, however, I'm going to post it here as on the front page has some nude pictures(Idgas if it's allowed, you can just hit the face and models button on this second link.)

Any of this what you meant?

Hi! When at it, remember that use of ENB or lightning mods like Cinematech may make world of difference how your char looks, before using an ENB I hated how wierd and bleak especially vanilla backlightning on a sunny day made my chars face, started using this : http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49882/?

and very happy, not just with how my char looks but the world :smile:

And some mods if you or someone else still searching for tips:

Women of the wasteland mod by Nuska http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/51084/?

adds a new headmesh for a much more realistic shape than vanilla, has new presets that make a good start point. I created my own race for myself in Geck starting with Nuskas plugin, added stuff like custom hairs, tattoos from other mods on the Nexus, tweaked my own presets, can`t remember if I added Throttlekittys eyelashes too, or maybe those were in Nuskas allready? Eyelashes.: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34790/?

also this is a very nice eye texture I think, bit like what is in that screen you posted = Simple eye retex by zzjay http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/47182/?

(Picks of my char too in "images from users "of those files :wink: , was not even using ENB when that was taken and pretty happy still .)

And this, Fallout Character overhaul: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54460/?

adds new better headmeshes to vanilla races, presets and new races to choose from too,.I use it for NPCs, its compatible with using my own race for my char. Not compatible with mods that add hair etc for vanilla races without tweaking it yourself I think..
