Noella - Modified version of female face No. 5

✨ Module Introduction

This is a custom face model named **Noella** that replaces **Female Face #005** in the game. It is a carefully beautified version of the original game model.

🎭 Animation options

Two animation styles are provided for you to choose from:

• **Standard Edition**: Does not change the character's facial expressions and animations, completely follows the original design of the game.
• **Stiff version**: The character's facial expression animation (such as smiling, raising eyebrows, etc.) has been reduced, suitable for players who prefer fewer expression changes.

⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**: Please **select only one version** to install!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

1. Compatibility and conflict checking

Mod conflicts may cause the game to crash, freeze, or fail to launch, or even the module not to be displayed at all.

• **Compatible**: All custom face models are **compatible** with appearance modification modules (such as skin, makeup, hairstyle, etc.) using different Chunk IDs.
• **Not Compatible**: This mod is **not compatible** with any mod that replaces the face with the same number (i.e. **#005**), or any mod that modifies the same game resource.
• **Possible Conflict**: May conflict with BobG123's Female Player Face Fixes mod.
• **Chunk ID Conflict**: This mod uses **Chunk ID 205** and is **not compatible** with mods using the same ID. See the solution below.

2. How to check the Chunk ID of a module?

Most mods will state this in the description or file name. You can also use the PakChunk Checker tool made by iouldifiwantedto to check.

3. How to resolve Chunk ID conflicts?

Any **Chunk ID** conflicts can be fixed using the Chunk ID Conflict Manager tool by iouldifiwantedto.

4. Can I change the face number replaced by this module?

**Can't. **

5. Can a non-replacement version be made?

**Can't. **

6. What is the difference between the standard version and the rigid version? Which should I choose?

• **Standard Edition**: Retains the game's original facial expression animations.
• **Stiff version**: Reduces the richness of facial expressions (smiling, raised eyebrows, etc.).

In the early days of the game's release, female characters would appear to smile excessively during cutscenes and dialogue. Although it has been officially fixed in the March 8, 2023 patch, some players still prefer the stiffer version with fewer expressions.

7. How to change the appearance of an existing character?

You can use the Character Editor by nathdev (requires Narknon's Blueprint Apparate Modloader).

8. Problem: My character becomes invisible or has model errors during cutscenes.

This is most likely caused by Kailiana's Curly Hair - Bellatrix Style mod (if you're still using it). Please check for other conflicting mods.

9. How do I make my character look like the one shown in the picture?
