okappa Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I'm sure a mod like this probably exists but I couldn't find specifically what I wanted. I'm not looking for major cosmetic changes, and I'm not looking for a new race. I simply want Character Creation to stop making everything look stupid. The way vanilla character creation works, you make two or three small changes to the chin, cheeks, etc. and suddenly the entire face is weird and puffy like a chimpanzee. Each slider that you move changes several other parts of the face, including what seems to be several parts that don't actually have sliders of their own. Moving the mouth inexplicably creeps the cheeks forward and puffs them out, yet there's really only sliders for the cheekbones. Skintone is no different -- for example, removing all facial hair from a character randomly darkens the top half of their face and gives them dark lipstick, and doing ANYTHING to the eyebrows leaves your character looking like a patchy dark mess. It amounts to a bunch of guesswork and frustration. What's worse, when you've made significant changes, touching the Age or race in any way whatsoever will cause the face to regain certain aspects of the original default you were working with -- for example, changing a Wood Elf's age will puff out their jaw and fuglify their nose again. Is there a mod that either simplifies or removes these aspect of character creation? Edited April 30, 2011 by okappa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperTheLich Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 a while back i happened to notice a mod that does exactly what you’re looking for; however I don’t have it, nor do I remember what it’s called. Sorry… but at least it does exist, and I think it is on nexus somewhere. happy hunting ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to find mods related to vanilla character gen when most people just play custom races now. But I love the vanilla races -- they're just so ugly. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 For stock human head mesh, you can use SI Facegen Modeller(there's free demo you can use) to make a face, then transplant it with Facegen to Oblivion converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okappa Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Well I managed to make an attractive enough character. I just wish vanilla Oblivion made this easier... And, er, she's Bosmer. Hence the alien-ish eyes that are associated with Bosmer in the mod I'm using. Also I'm obviously no face artist, I just wanted a decent looking character. And yes, she's supposed to look detached and depressed. That's not a mistake or anything. The forehead skin tone trick helped a lot. And as for facegen modeller, I really don't want to get into that much work if I can avoid it. http://www.imgjoe.com/x/screenshctc.png Sounds weird to hear her scream in Methredel's voice... I may have finished Loren, but if anyone has another answer I'd love to hear it for future character making endeavors.

Telyn Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 OFF-Optimized FaceGen Files might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
