Radiant Additional Head Shapes

Description

This mods will adds a new array of 32 head shapes while also fixing a few hair compatibility issues with some of the vanilla's. I don't advise to run it with other head shape mods firstly because you will probably drowning in a sea of choices, the annoying kind. Secondly because very similar heads to other mods have been re-created from scratch to give you the most complete setup possible and you might end up having somekind of duplicates if you still want those other mods active.

First of all I was inspired by the mod creator Devi with his mod "Devi's Pretty lil Heads" who already made a solid work for us. For the first part, I tried to recreate heads very similar to what his mod has to offer (which represents 1/4 of this mod content). Why didnt I let both mods working as a pair? Because a good number of them were glitching with some vanilla and modded haircuts : the layers sometimes not being able to pile on the right reference points creating hair floating in the air or head parts not covered (which should have been). I think that's because for some of those he created a new head size between male and female skull that don't really fit other assets. Then I thought if I had to remove his mod I would be frustrated of not having his good ideas around anymore, so I recreated his best designs from scratch. Those new assets ending up to be only slightly different from his but this time with a fix that prevent them to conflict with other assets.

That being said the biggest part of my mod is indeed to add plenty of new choices, more freckles kind because I saw they were popular, heads with scars, other heads with more exagerated features (fat/thin), some with moles and finally some with new skull frame (forehead/chin/cheekbones). All of them have been tested with most of vanilla and haircut mods available. Although I (very) highly recommend to use my upcoming hair fix mod that will allow some haircuts to looks better with thin/osseous heads preventing some hair parts to float behind the head.

Lastly, I made a repair to fix some vanilla's heads. A few among the batch had some slight outline mistakes, some other had sloppy "shade" textures and more rarely a couple had incompatibility with short haircuts. I didn't removed any of them or altered their overall design.

Before you ask, no I won't make this mod compatible with 10000 faces of wildermyth. Tested it out for quite some time and I didn't like it, especially the eyes with white sclera which I thinks not only being a bit a sloppy work, it breaks the general game's art direction. Also it is already conflicting with some of my future mod ideas. Despite of that my mod is indeed compatible with most of the rest, for instance the popular "Fresh Faces" mod.



To Devi and his cool mod "Devi's Pretty lil Heads" that gave me the initial idea and motivation. Even if you don't use his mod anymore, please don't unsubscribe but desactivate in-game instead so he keeps his numbers.

You can find all my mods by searching "Radiant" in steam workshop, nexus, or civfanatics, which is a recurrent word in all my mod's tittles.

Even if they represent hundreds of working hours, I'm sharing my mods for free like most of mod creators. But deep down I'm really hoping you to do that little extra thing that would help me a lot : joining any of my pages (patreon, facebook, instagram). Just that really! Don't feel obliged to give something, with Patreon there is indeed a free option that grants you basic news/content and it will only take few seconds of your time. That being said I'm an artist irl and I sometimes struggle to put my personal projects on the saddle. By giving a little something or joining my ranks you can trigger a course of actions/reactions that might end up gathering more people around, thus helping me building the motivation and means to create more stuff to appreciate.

Hey, found myself here by accident, but gotta stop by and give you some props for expanding the head mod! 32!? People shouldn't be running out of heads anytime soon now.
I'll be sure to give this a try if I ever end up playing the game again.

Unrelated, but gotta love your header image, very eye catching.

@OwnedSphinx np it happens ^^ I'm gonna updating my mods soon. I'm definitely cooking up something nice but before that I'm currently double checking a lot of things/possible mistakes I made for the two mods face+haircuts. Sorry if you happen to see something weird in between the updates

Oh, sorry about that then. I thought that I reread the paragraph at least ten times before commenting and was just curious why you didn't like it and whatnot. I guess I just overlooked that one line giving your reasoning because of the sclera, regardless thank you for responding anyway.

@OwnedSphinx I wrote that in the description bro... People always sub without reading and then ask question you covered in desc, it's a nightmare sometimes. Anyways to be more precise, the scars/moles/etc. have been tested to conflict the less possible with faces/expression that's why I couldn't put them too close to the eyes, eyebrows, mouth. I've tested it with 6(faces)x17(base expressions). I recon there was somekind of a base area that was avoided by features and that's where I aimed. Could not have the patience to test each face as it's extremely time consuming but that should works (very) fine.

This mod looks great! But how is is incompatible with 10,000 Faces? I think that I've used that mod for every character of mine but I would like to use this mod for future characters. I've done a quick test in character creation, is it just that the scars, freckles, and stuff like that just lines up weirdly with the noses or is it something more? Because if so, at least judging from the initial pose in character creation, it looks passable for me to use them together if that's all.
