Fallout 4 Brown Face Fix [Brown, Black, Dark]

The infamous Fallout 4 Brown face appears to be back and it’s causing amusing NPCs and main characters that even though their bodies appear distinct colors the faces of their characters are brown. This really spoils the experience of immersion that many players expect from the game.

In this article, We’ll guide you through a variety of options that aim to resolve this issue completely. Follow the entire article word-for-word, and it will fix the problem.

Why Does Fallout 4 Brown Face Problem Occurs?

After analyzing the feedback of users and doing an analysis of the problem, we came to the conclusion that these could be the primary motives for why this error is causing the issue.

• Failure Mods: This game relies on mods. Mods are required to enjoy a better experience, but often, mods are in error and do not work well together creating an unnatural brown face glitch within the game. If you install face and body mods, DLC with high resolution within the game can cause this glitch. Be sure that the recently installed mods aren’t the cause and that they work well with each other.
• Game File Problem: In certain cases, there is a possibility that the Fallout 4 Brown face Bug could be due to defective game files that aren’t capable of rendering correctly the NPC faces. In order to overcome this issue, the solution suggested by users is a clean installation process of a brand new mod which is designed to eliminate this problem.

After having given a thorough overview of the crucial solutions, it is now time to begin to implement the corrective measures to address this problem.

How Apply Fallout 4 Brown Face Fix?

Method 1: High-Resolution Texture Pack DLC

The most popular item comes from the high-resolution texture Package DLC. This mod actually works to make the texture, particularly within booster as well as Cambridge areas. In simple terms it makes the buildings look better and other areas in the game. So, what’s the connection between this and that brown face bug?

If you download and install the high-resolution textures pack in DLC the game attempts to install the mods for your face while making an attempt to apply decals over top of things like the eyebrows of your face, paints for faces dirt, makeup, and many other face-related particulars. The problem usually occurs when the facial features do not correspond to the resolution and size of the facial texture.

The high-resolution texture packs did offer improved textures for everyone but they’re not far from the quality of other mods that are available. But the problem is that, even if are sticking with your mods, the black face glitch is still visible.

This entire situation could seem overwhelming to you, but don’t be concerned; we have a solution for this issue.

• You must start the file extractor of your Bethesda archive extractor
• This will let you examine the BA 2 files. 
• Navigate to your SSD files and then open SteamLibrary
• Select the option and you’ll be taken to a brand new screen. There you will have to click on the Steamapps option.
• From the menu below, please open Common
• Click on Fallout 4 and then the data folder.
• Scroll down the list, and you will see the latest textures that have been saved.
• In the DLCUltraHighResolution -Textures01.ba2 you will find textures file
• Click it, then tap on the actor file.
• Scroll down the list until you’ll see the option to select a character Click it, to open the list. The new page will open.
• There are BasedHumanFemale and BasedHumanMale choices.

If you find these options there, go back to the data folder and delete the DLCUltraHighResolution file from there. This will eliminate some brand new high-definition textures in this particular DLC in your game. It will take about 4 gigs of worth.

You could also make use of Bethesda’s file extractor and then unpack the ba2. It is now possible to save the textures you’ve created as unpackaged files in your folder for data. This may appear to be a straightforward method to get rid of, but it could be detrimental to your FPS. It is more beneficial for games to download a texture using a ba2 file instead of loose files.

If you adhere to the steps above, then remove the ba2 file that was created first You can then return your aces to normal.

This allows you to utilize both the DLC for high-resolution textures and the mods you have previously installed – without issues.
