📋 About This Mod
8 scarred/maimed/horror head presets for tall races. Will be adding more as time goes on.
The Amelie head preset is very near and dear to me since she is my OC and a dnd character of mine. She's the first OC head preset that I have decided to release publicly, and I hope you like her. If you'd like to read a bit about her then you can read her lore in this work-in-progress document about her here: AMELIE GOUNOD - CEDASTARIONS
All female presets are for elven races, humans, and tieflings.
All male presets are for elves, drow, and tieflings.
Thank you SO MUCH to my friend Askew for helping me figure out the proper coding for the Buttons on Cora. Love you!

[]Unpack the zip file and copy the pak to your mods folder to load in the BG3MM

]Only use ONE VERSION at a time[]To counteract any large wrinkling (new heads do this) I recommend downloading the less wrinkled expressions mod from nexus
Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way whether in tutorials or on discord. I love you all very much! If you see any bugs please report them!
I am aware of a texture seam on Hector!
I will be creating body 3 and 4 presets for this mod as well as more body 1 and 2
If enough people are interested then I will consider releasing non-scarred versions of the head presets that don't have sculpt based scarring: Nemesis, Amelie, Desiree, Aster, Hector
PLEASE ask me if you want to use the mesh & textures to edit your own preset! If its for personal use I don't mind at all, but please ask permission if you intend on releasing whatever you edit. These mods take a long time to make. DO NOT upload to any other modding platforms or reupload on socials or other websites. Thank you!
