Fallout Character Overhaul is a mod for Fallout: New Vegas, created by Drumber
What does Fallout Character Overhaul do?
FCO is a high-resolution overhaul of characters in Fallout New Vegas changing nearly everything possible that there is to change, it makes it a lot easier to make a nicer looking character as well as making all characters in Fallout look a lot more believable and realistic. It is also a comprehensive race mod. It adds races for certain NPC's to make them more unique as well as adding a lot more races for you to choose from when creating a character.
Features
- Over 130 unique races that take advantage of Fallout Character Overhaul's range of high quality textures and new meshes.
- Different races have their own unique headmeshes adding more diversity to the facial shape of characters.
- All races have their own high-resolution texture maps with unique properly sculpted normal maps. This can make huge changes to what a face looks like as it gives it the illusion of being a higher polycount than it actually is adding lots more depth to faces.
- Ghoul’s have also been re-imagined. You will find a variety of different looking Ghouls including Half-Ghouls.
- Raiders/fiends have also been remade with a different style that affects both male and females.
- Nearly all NPC faces have been remade and adapted to the new meshes as well as being distributed among multiple different age groups. This adds much more variety to the game. These different age groups have also been added as playable races along with some additional alternate races for some age groups to make people in fallout even more diverse.
- FCO works great with any ENB. Because FCO adds new normal maps that improve the way faces react to lighting and ENB improves lighting in Fallout they are a great match.
- New high-quality eye textures have been made and are useable via the race menu. There is also a greater variety of eye colours available along with the opportunity to have mismatching eyes!
- Hair textures have been remade and are now more high resolution, this includes beards and brows.
- When you start the game you get a choice of different brow styles! If you change your mind on the style you chose hold right ctrl + shift for a few seconds and the menu will popup again.
- Animated eyelashes have been added to all female races.
- Important NPC's have been given custom face textures to make them more unique. To name a few, the Courier found in Primm has a bullet scar wound, Legate Lanius has scars covering his face and Ranger Andy does too from his injury.
- Unique player only races are available.
- New HD Teeth textures.
- Optional animated sweat effect plays on characters who are outside for a while.
- Glowing Ghouls now actually glow (see images) (Requires NVSE).
- Old World Blues Lobotomites have been remade.
- All of these things come with little to no hit to performance, headmeshes are the same polycount as vanilla and the only texture that is bigger than vanilla is my diffuse.
Installation
Install UIO and the latest NVSE as mentioned above, they are required.
Install with Mod Organizer or FOMM, there is a FOMOD installer in the archive. This mod requires the Old World Blues DLC. After installing make sure to Archive Invalidate. See more on how to below. And also make sure bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1 in FalloutPrefs.ini. If you are installing the Willow addon make sure to only have one esp ticked and if you want the Cazy version you need to install that mods meshes and textures first. I recommend when modding FNV to follow this guide, it's awesome. Also I recommend a new game when using FCO due to the changes it makes to races and also to start a new game if you want to uninstall.
