mmasich Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I guess most of the programmers bethesda hired for this thought it would be funny to make almost every woman in this game use men's faces and body models. They all resemble the androgynous "Pat" from SNL before it stopped being funny. Normally I wouldn't waste half of my available mod space on face and body remodels, but in order to play this game again after full mod support and the CK becomes available, it looks like I might have to. I'd rather deal with the fruity pebbles faces from cbbe-type mods than what bethesda has to offer their customer base, with whom they seem to have a severe disconnect with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurreth Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 In Starfield Bethesda completely changed the way 3D models are handed. It used to be the geometry was contained in the NIF files, now those just refer to external geometry and morph files. As a result character models are much more complicated, and many desired improvements conflict directly with the existing character creator (which, in my opinion, is a hot mess). It also means that to do a good rework requires new skills, as Nifskope isn't enough anymore. In previous game a lot of the character customization was based on Caliente's work, CBBE and BodySlide. A version of this is being worked on for Starfield (Caliente retired, but someone else, I can't recall the name, has taken over the project). My assumption at this time is people interested in creating improved skins, facial features, etc. are waiting on this project, so that they don't have to recreate their work once it shows up. You also need to understand that the modding scene for the game is still pretty young. There are a lot of things that simply can't be done right now because we are waiting on talented people to reverse engineer a bunch of stuff. Improved xEdit, improved Nifskope, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they didn't. They made both sexes relatively androgynous. I agree they should have gone with three body types, to provide better player customization, but I guess they thought people would spend all their time in bulky spacesuits anyway.

mmasich Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 Thanks for the reply. Guess a lot of people will be waiting for that to come , hopefully this year. It's too bad Caliente is done modding, I always used them in Skyrim, fallout not so much due to the limit. I just can't look at these beetle-like characters anymore.

Understandable, I'm not happy with the current crop of skins or body shape mods either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonicmole Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I'm working on one. My goal is to just convert all vanilla armors to a slightly more curvy look. I did the same with Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. Currently I'm just learning the ropes so it might be a week or two before I start rolling anything out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
