A mod that makes the height of women more realistic

[katrina.balanchuk]

Playing this game I noticed that the female characters are nearly as tall as the men.

This is not normal.

 

Nora from the mirror scene looks barely 2 inches shorter than her husband who compared to doorways looks to be about 6'1

Which would make her 5'10 (or even 5'11 not sure) a real outlier among women and taller than many men.

But all adult women in the game seem to be about her height.

 

The average height difference in the US between men and women is 5 (!) inches (from 5'4 and 5'9) and 5 inches in this size range are like 6 inches counting down form Nate.

So Nate minus 6 inches would make Nora 5'4-5'5 which would be perfect.

 

Since in this game we have idealized people models (all grown men are strapping high Testosteron muscled lads strong male features and all not too  aged females have smooth pretty faces and wonderful figures) the height difference should probably be even bigger than the US avg.

Because high testosterone men are often taller than average but high estrogen ( = the nice figures we see in the game)  are not taller than average women.

High size in men makes them more successful as men in the wasteland ( carry more and fight harder) or for the matter in a hunter gatherer society.

But extra height does not confer a natural selection advantage on women  in the environment humans evolved in.

 

On the contrary conserving calories is more important for women (remember the normal human state in history is just one step away from starvation)  than have a long reach to punch anyone or being of the height to scan the savannah as men did out on the hunt inacient times.

This is why the sizes of men have evolutionary diverged quite a bit for a long time (in all mammals actually).

 

So I believe most men in this game are modeled to be approx 6 feet or 6'1 (based or comparison to cars and doorways) because they are successful macho men hero types to be taken serious as male actors in this environment right?

So if women were modeled after their realistic height of 5'4, the difference would be very noticabale not the mere 2 inches it is now.

I fixed this for my character with the wonderful cheat mod in the pipboy where I took her down 3 notches to what looks to me about 5'5 or 5'4

Not sure how much each step is in the cheat console code but it looks like maybe 1.5-2 inch per step?

 

So I guess the mod I am asking for is a global game change code to reduce the height of all women maybe by 5 inches minimum better 6 inches.

Thank you for reading this just struck me as I am a bit of  Medical person. ☺️

I am not sure about using furniture and other game stuff, but for AAF scenes you need to use scale character to match original skeleton from animation, or you will have really bad clipping. 

I guess that was made just to unite male and female skeleton and simply make only 1 animation for male and female
