Frequently Asked Questions

Known Issues
- Customizing face decals works a little different than you think. Refer to Exo Race Customization Guide in the article section for more info.
- The jaw does not move when an Exo npc gives speech. (The whole face including jaw is considered eyebrow, which apparently does not move when speaking)
- The neck might slightly clip into certain apparels, and the glove might slightly clip through some sleeves.
- Any apparels that does not cover arms or legs will render the skin texture incorrectly or invisible. Please report them to the discussion tab so I can start the feasibility study for a potential apparel patch mod.
- During the character customization of a new game, your character will be wearing a space undersuit that visibly clips through body. To completely fix this issue a modification to MQ101 would be necessary, which is also a surefire way to conflict with many other mods, so I am sticking to the current solution with this visual clipping as a side effect.
- Sometimes the game crashes when trying to open chargen menu. This is a CharGenMenu mod issue, and the most conclusive solution right now is to try again...
- Face and head accessory color #12, #20-#27 should be patterned in D2 but are solid color in this mod. I do not have access to the actual pattern, nor the secondary color for them, nor the reference photos to map the UV to the pattern, so unfortunately no carbon fiber faceplate this time.
- Decal h (male exclusive) may not be accurate on face 1-6, as I don't have reference photos for them. This decal on face 7 is accurate because my guardian uses the exact configuration...
- The eyes and speech lights are not really glowing, because the chargen menu can only swap color texture not emission (glowy) texture. My headcanon is they help with concealment in dark areas lol
Installation
- Install with mod manager of your choice, or copy files manually if you know what you are doing (.ba2 files goes next to .esm files)
- Put the main file (ExoRace.esm) into your load order.
- Put the player race patch (ExoRacePlayer.esm) into your load order to play as an Exo. If you just need this mod as a prerequisite for Exo NPCs mod and don't want to play as an Exo, don't put this in your load order/delete this file.
- You will be given an aid item "Exo Race Setup Package" when loading an existing save, use this item to remove existing human head parts and customize appearance for free. You can craft more of this item for 5000 credits at any industrial workbenches.
