4k New Female complexions and better NPCs
New textures for characters Complexions. I’ve tried to do the best I could. I’m not updating these in my other mod page because this time I’m only focusing on complexions and a few other things I’m and will share in time. So to avoid that mod already clustered with so many options I’ve decided to release it as a new mod.
MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE TEXTURES AND SUBSURFACE SCATTERING SETTING IN THE MAIN MENU SET TO HIGH.
BRIEF EXPLANATIONS FOR THE COMPLEXIONS
This mod uses a VTK head, however, it won’t be dependable on the OG VTK head, the reason I had to do it is because.
1. This way it will only affect the player, so if choosing to use only the complexions, nothing will touch NPCs, meaning it will use the bare minimum VRAM which is excellent for players with low to mid VRAM like myself.
2. I’ve tried everything to not use VTK meshes and instead just replace the textures, but all my attempts failed because the VTK OG mod always loaded its textures making it strong and not at all the quality I wanted to achieve.
ABOUT THE COMPLEXIONS
There are 2 versions, V1 is rougher with more imperfections, and V2 is cleaner and younger looking, Both change the 5 available skin types with options that will have Eyeshadows and eyebrows and non Eyeshadows and Eyebrows. Check the image to see the numbers. MAKE SURE TO ONLY INSTALL ONE VERSION AT A TIME.
ABOUT SKIN DETAILS
This is my version of the Alternative skin mod, and a few more edits I did, I tried to make them more natural to go better with the new textures I worked on. This will affect all characters from V’s to minor to major NPCs. This affects the subsurface scattering making it in a way that skins will look less fake plastic and more like real skin. May not be perfect but it is the only option I found in the game.
ABOUT MICRODETAILS
This time I tried to make them better and look even more realistic, it will affect all skin in the game from all characters just as above. It will work with any mod be it body or complexions, as long said mod doesn’t already have its version.
ABOUT NPCS DETAILED SKINS
This is a version of the Normal detail from players to NPCS, it will affect almost all female NPCs in the game as well, I say almost because some major NPCs may have their detailed maps, I’ve made this 2k the same size as Vanilla so if you can run the game as it is in vanilla you can also have no problem with this one.
PS: This will also affect Female V’s that use vanilla textures and heads.

COMPATIBILITY
Complexions are not compatible with any other complexions mod, including VTK head for the reasons above.
In my other mod: 4k Complexion and Body for Female V only the Body textures are compatible with this mod, none of the other files should be used with this mod since they do the same thing, but that one is more vanilla friendly.
REQUIREMENTS
Morph Texture Removal – Cleaner and better skin details – If you get artifacts when in certain lighting or when you use low FOV to take screenshots, use this mod together to fix the issue. This issue may happen especially if you activate ray tracing.
