The Eyes of Beauty - Starfield Edition

THE EYES OF BEAUTY - STARFIELD EDITION
Starfield Original Mod 


QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE:

1. Download the TEOB Textures Installer tool. Extract it to a folder of your choice.
2. Download any extra Texture Packs you want from Optional Files, then extract them into the Textures folder of the Installer Tool.
3. Run the installer tool and follow the steps listed.
4. Select the textures you want, then click Apply.

Enjoy!

For this initial version, I offer new eye textures to replace the vanilla ones.
More textures will be added soon.
The textures will be fully integrated into the game once the Creation Kit supports adding new archives. Until then, The Eyes Of Beauty will provide replacement textures.

*This mod fixes the 'blue sclera opacity' effect found on the vanilla eyes.*


Feel free to share your images and videos to show us what this mod brings to your game.



Don't forget to TRACK This mod because it will be regularly updated with new textures.



ABOUT SHARING PRESET WITH TEOB

Yes, of course, you can share your presets using this mod, and I encourage it! The only thing I ask is not to include the textures directly in your archive but rather to provide a link to The Eyes of Beauty so that players can download the textures from this page.


A Note from the Author: 
I hope you enjoy the result as much as I enjoyed working on this project.



Installation:

The easiest way to install the textures for this mod is to use the Installation tool. This tool will display the game's original textures. Simply follow the steps provided to install the textures you want.

To use the tool, simply download it, extract the archive, and Run the toolThe tool includes all textures from Pack 1, plus some special ones. If you use the tool, you won’t need to download Pack 1 separately.

*When applying texture modifications (Apply button), wait for a confirmation popup message indicating that the operation is complete.*
** Sure, I'd be happy to help. Please provide the source text you'd like me to translate.The path to the Starfield eye texturesIt depends on where you installed Starfield. Look for ..\My Games\Starfield\Data\Textures\actors\human\faces\eyes. If that folder doesn't exist, navigate to ..\My Games\Starfield\ and create the missing folders. Then paste the path into the textbox in the first step. Example: P:\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data\Textures\actors\human\faces\eyes.

Source code can be found here: GitHub repo Feel free to compile it yourself if you prefer, or just review the code to make sure it’s safe.



However, If you don't want to use the tool, you can download the textures from the Optional Files and Old Files sections and install them manually. Follow the steps below.


METHOD 1
**Replacer Pack Manual Installation:**
This will work with Pack 1 Replacer (with or without reflection).
VIDEO: How to Install on PC

You must install this mod manually. To do so, extract the 'Data' folder into..\Documents\My Games\Starfield' (not the game's root folder). If you already have a 'Data' folder there, simply merge it.
You must also have a .ini file named 'StarfieldCustom.ini' in your..\Documents\MyGames\Starfield' directory, in which the following lines should be present:

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
**sResourceDataDirsFinal=**

If you wish to install an optional texture, you must rename it to an existing in-game file name. For example, to replace the blue eye color with a logo texture, rename the texture file to "iris_blue_color.dds." For now, you'll need to replace an existing in-game texture. Once the official modding tool is released, I'll be able to provide textures as additional options without overwriting the game's original textures.


METHOD 2
Download a texture pack, unzip it, select the textures you want to install, copy them, and rename them to match the game's file names.
This method is the only way to install additional packs (pack 2, pack 3, ...) manually.


Does this work with the Game Pass version?? Yes it does. The ini for loading loose files goes into your source folder for Xbox Game Pass games, while textures go into Documents > My Games > Starfield > Data. (Thanks to SgtDroid01 for the answer).

Is this compatible with Mod Organizer 2? It works — just make sure you're using the beta version of MO2 that supports Starfield as an instance. (thanks to) SneakyEwson (for the answer)

[10/09/2023] Fixed a bug where installer textures were not saved in the correct location.
[10/09/2023] Update Installer to v1.1.0. I've changed how the text field handles the texture directory path to reduce confusion when configuring the installation tool. Now, the text field will point to whichever directory is entered and generate the selected textures there. This means you can set it to a different directory than the one originally specified by Bethesda.
