I'm like 90% sure that the character creator has lighting features enabled that are normally disabled for performance reasons, which is why it's much easier to look good in the character creator than it is in the game.

If I'm right, maybe modders can "fix" it (although it will probably tank performance).

Doesn't need to tank performance. Instead of turning on the lighting elsewhere, they could turn it off in character creation so you can see what it'll actually look like.

The extra shaders are also applied to NPCs when you talk to them. But there’s never really a way to see the player’s face with these features outside the character creator.
