Any news on this front? I haven't touched the game since.
Honestly, this feels like pure anti-Whitism, anti-masculinity, the same stuff Bioware did with Mass Effect Andromeda customization when it first launched.
The official modding support is coming to the game with the next patch, so you might find something that fits your needs as a modification to the game. But, in my opinion, your inability to create a proper white male is more of a skill issue. I did it somehow, why can't you?
I don't want to get this message every single time I start the game "We Were unable to create a working story"
I have tons of facial mods and that has never happened to me when following the correct order of steps. The worst I've ever had was some installed faces just not being available for all body types they ought to be. I follow the golden rule of never deinstalling a mod mid playthrough, though. That can get ugly rarely but extremely quickly.
There also seems to be an issue some people have encountered when attempting to wipe the game lately. Not me personally, but if you do it wrong (or it goes wrong) your game will be equally broken on re-install. Not sure what's up with that. Don't do anything that is extremely hazardous to the integrity or working order of your game files, such as deleting faces that were overwritten by a mod, but are in use for some NPCs. Generally avoid mods that replace faces instead of adding new ones or have unorthodox installs atm maybe as well. That scenario sounds a bit far fetched, but it's either something *like* that, or your character creator got bullied into oblivion.
