RealHD Face 2K - ba2

Hello gentlemen and ladies.

So Avallonkao allowed me to upload the ba2 files for Real HD Face 2K to, hopefully, help out those who are performing really poorly with the loose file version of the mod.

FO4 loads ba2 files in a better way than loose files, so creating ba2 for textures may help performance in most cases.

Please note that the author is under no obligation to do such a thing as it is clear from the outset that there is no problem on his/her side. I'm just uploading this for those of you who don't have the time or want to learn how to make ba2. The author gives us his/her work and we help each other.

Remember to check out the original mod, download it and approve it. Spread some love, it doesn't hurt like they sing.

About files and installation:

Read this, it’s important!!!!

I uploaded 3 files.

The main one is the main Real HD file (with updates) without face textures.

Q: Why use this?

A: If you are using other textures for the body, most of them come with face files. And always load loose files after ba2.

So to avoid conflicts you should install it and also install one of the face texture files from Real HD and load/install the face texture after you use the other one.

The other 2 files contain facial textures from the main file.

Q: Why use one over the other?

A: If you packaged your body texture mod into ba2; if you removed the face files from other texture mods you were using; your texture mod does not have face files.

Only install one. Always refer to the main mod to learn about each mod. This is only created to store the ba2 files, not to invalidate the original mod page. But remember not to use the original version as the loose file will always overwrite the ba2 file.

Notes on ESP:

ba2 files require a plugin to load them. Load order items! So if you want it to take precedence over other mods, load it after them.

esps is a blank plug-in.

I uploaded the ESP tagged ESL if you'd like that too, I think it's working.

If you don't want to add a new plugin to your load order, you can rename ba2 to another plugin that doesn't already have ba2.

You just need to use the exact plugin name and leave "-textures" and "-Main" after the name.

This is Real HD Face.

Issues (Rusty/Brown/Blackface): If you have issues, please read the paste article before posting. Before posting about the rust/black/brown face issues, please tell me what you tried to fix, and which characters are using them and if there are mods that change them. A modlist with [spoilers/spoilers] or modwat.ch would also be good, but try figuring it out yourself first.

About LooksMenu Customization Compendium:

I'd love to upload a ba2 including this mod, but then I need some permissions and I'm still waiting for a reply from AGodComplexPikachu who uploaded the file in the first place.

Since it has 2K files for Real HD, you can make a ba2 yourself. Here's a guide on how (it's easy):

important! ! ! ! ! ! !

Read this:

After creating ba2 for LMCC, delete the LMCC 2K patch texture and keep only f4eecustom.ini in the f4SE folder.

Then go to the original LMCC folder and delete the character resources folder completely, leaving only the Hair folder.

The path is: textures/actors/character/ (hair and character assets).

Mod Organizer of course. I don't know how Vortex works, so if you're still using NMM or downloading manually, or even Vortex, you can safely download LMCC, unzip it, delete the character assets folder, then repack and install.

Deleting the entire character assets folder from Data may also delete files from other mods.

Remember: loose files always take precedence over ba2. Not removing the loose files in the original LMCC will keep things at 1K.
