The utility of these mods is, in a vacuum, not entirely scopophilic.īody-modding in Bethesda games started off innocent enough. It should also be noted that because these are role-playing games, players can assume the role of a female character and alter their own appearance. They are in no way endorsed or monitored by the game’s creators. Here is where I state the obvious: These mods are created by users and distributed via third-party sites like Nexus Mods. There are male-centric and gender-neutral additions as well, but they appear with noticeably less frequency. “Simple clean face for woman” is just the latest in a long lineage of mods designed to alter the female characters in Bethesda games.
CBBE AND XCE MOD
Take, for instance, “ Simple clean face for woman ,” a mod whose sole purpose is to remove dirt smudges and skin texture from only the game’s female characters, leaving them with an inhuman, artificial smoothness. And that’s when some of the mods get … weirder. In both cases, the characters in these games are generally hard-scrabble and grimy. I’m personally bewildered, and creeped out, by the clean mods.īethesda’s two major RPG franchises are the Elder Scrolls (medieval fantasy) and Fallout (nuclear post-apocalypse). Last week, a mod for the Boston-set Fallout 4 earned the ire of Major League Baseball because it featured David Ortiz and Red Sox paraphernalia.
Given that Fallout 4 is only a week old, many of these mods are simple cosmetic upgrades - higher-quality 3-D models and textures, color swaps, a Taylor Swift background for the playable character’s wearable computer. Mods are popular enough to sustain substantial online communities, and when it comes to modding communities, there are few that can rival the one for Bethesda games. Mods (short for “modification”) allow players to tweak the game, from things as minor as interface tweaks to more substantial additions like new characters and locales. While some play on console systems like the Xbox and PlayStation, many are playing it on PC, because that version offers mod support. You may already own it: Bethesda Softworks, the game’s publisher, announced that they had shipped 12 million units of the game “representing sales in excess of $750 million” (shipping, it should be noted, is a different metric from sold). You may already know this, since the game has been the subject of a pretty heavy media blitz before launch. I could really use some help with this.Įdited by thunderclam, 27 September 2017 - 07:25 PM.Fallout 4, the newest blockbuster role-playing video game, came out last week. I've tried disabling my rextures and XCE and the problem persists so it seems locked into a different mod or something is wrong with my vanilla files maybe. I am not using anything that is usually reported to cause these issues so I have no idea why it's happening to me. I can put up some more images, including "Before" images for a female character that was not previously affected by this issue. This image will show how the seam is pretty bad in other lighting conditions/poses most of the time: This image will give you an idea of the neck seam on females: This image will give you an idea of the neck seam on males: Also don't see how it could be a load order issue since only XCE uses an. My instinct would be that it's a conflict between XCE and body replacer/retextures but doesn't seem to be the case since this was working fine before recently. Not sure what mod is causing it, like I said, and am hoping someone knows of a way to check which mods affect heads/necks/etc. I have tried a few body texture replacers that work with vanilla/EVB (including Nuclear Nude even) in an attempt to fix the seams but they aren't going anywhere. I started to have neck seams, which I didn't have before (with all of the above), and I have no idea what caused it. I also don't use CBBE or any mod that relies on CBBE except for Heather Casdin though I think she has a unique body. I use XCE and EVB but I also installed the Black Face HD Texture fix even though I don't use Bethesda's HD textures. I use a variety of mods that edit bodies.
