Description
This modification gives Niko an African-American skin-tone and a hairstyle that resembles CJ's "Jheri Curl" haircut from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It includes the hair textures and both the face and hand textures, all ready to be installed with SparkIV. Installation instructions can be found in the very detailed ReadMe file that is also included.

Special Thanks goes to KingDani (of GTAInside) for the original idea and skin pieces of BlackNico, which inspired me to update and build onto the concept. I uploaded it on GTAInside as well, so feel free to check it out sometime.

Enjoy~!

There seems to be a trifling bit of misunderstanding about this. Agreed, it's a bit funny-looking at the moment. Yet, compared to KD's BlackNico (which apparently everybody thinks I stole, which is not true at any rate... ) it maps to the original face a lot better... Honestly, KingDani seems to have just copy-pasta'd a face texture from the same texture directory, without any further adjustments to it other than colorizing the rest of it brown and recoloring the eyes green. The preview pic on GTA Inside for that modification is a falsehood, as that's NOT what it looks like when installed. If you look closely at the texture contained in that modification, the mouth, nose, even the ears don't line up with the orignal face layout. He also didn't include any hairstyle to go with it.This is why I'm touting this as a vast improvement and update to the concept; a better-aligned facial texture is key, and a hairstyle is a plus. If anyone's actually interested, keep an eye on this, because it's going to be updated sometime within the next week.
