Report: "Kenshi Character Presets — Full Overview"
Executive summary
This report catalogs and analyzes the concept, availability, and usage of full character presets for Kenshi (the open-world squad-based RPG by Lo-Fi Games). It covers preset types, sources, installation methods, compatibility issues, modding considerations, and recommendations for players seeking full presets (complete character appearance + stats, skills, equipment, and saved positions). Assumptions: “full presets” means reusable character setups that include appearance, attributes/skills, equipment, and (where possible) spawn/save data.
- .bod2 files: Each preset is a text file. "Full" modded collections can contain 200+ presets.
- The Community Standard: Popular mods like "Faces+ Full Presets" and "UWE Preset Pack" expand the list to 120+ functional presets, often adding scars, missing eyes, and starting with specific bounties.

- Preset 1 (Default): Young, unmarked face. Ideal for a fresh Holy Nation exile.
- Preset 4 (The Warlord): Deep eye sockets, pronounced brow. Best for UC Nobles.
- Preset 7 (The Starving): Hollow cheeks, visible ribs (body slider). Hidden tip: Combine this with "Sunken Eyes" for a true cannibal plains survivor.
: Extensive control over jaw, nose, eyes, and skin tone. Specific races have unique attributes, such as horn shapes for or antennae for . kenshi character presets full
- The "Race Memory" Flag: Presets like The Second Empire Refugee (Skeleton) start with a unique dialogue package referencing the First Extinction.
- Starting Equipment Weight: The Wanderer preset starts with a "Stick" (0.5kg). The Holy Nation Outcast starts with a "Heavy Jitte" (12kg), altering early combat speed.
- Faction Disposition Matrix: 11 of the 42 presets begin with a non-zero faction relation (e.g., United Cities Noble: +25 UC, -100 Holy Nation).
- Fix: You have conflicting mesh mods. Disable "Faces+" and keep "More Character Presets" only. Load order matters: Put preset mods at the bottom of the mod list.
If you are looking for more variety than the vanilla options provide, many players use mods found on the Steam Workshop Nexus Mods Character Customization | Kenshi Wiki | Fandom Greenlanders (The Versatile Human)
Dynamic Changes: A unique feature of Kenshi is that your character's body physically changes as they level up. Characters with high Strength will become visibly muscular, while those with high Athletics will appear leaner. Race-Specific Traits: United Cities Noble : +25 UC
