📋 About This Mod
What is this mod?
This mod adds NPC heads as Unique assets to Character Creation for Tav. Including my own interpretation of them to other races.
Why are the mods split into two paks? In order to support mod.io/consoles as well I needed them to be split into two due to their file size.
Why is this separate to the NPC (And Origins) Eye Skin and Hair Colours for Tav and NPC Hairs for Tav mods? If we could add folders in image section for per file I would be happy to put some of my mods on same page. As right now adding this, NPC as Tav/Dreamer onto one page with hairs and CC Colours would result in a ton of images which would be hard to navigate for users.
Especially since I plan to gradually add the heads in this mod to other races, which would then result in more images.
I tested every head in this mod with the tadpole pool, US and first conversation with Lae'zel, to test them as thoroughly as I could.
