📋 About This Mod
My very first attempt at mesh modding! It's not a major catastrophe like I thought it would be, so I thought I'd share it here in case someone else misses Leliana's cute DA:O bob.
I've always thought Leliana's Halamshiral hair looked like a wig glued to her head, so I've been searching for a mod that gives her back her Origins bob (which looks a million times better, IMHO). Since I couldn't find what I was looking for, I took things into my own hands and went into Blender to mess with things I don't understand try and make that mod myself. After countless failed attempts at getting that blasted edited mesh into the game, I've finally succeeded!
Like I said before, I have zero experience in 3D modelling/editing, so while it's not a complete mess (I wouldn't be sharing it if it was), it's not perfect either. The texture looks distorted in some areas (see picture), and I haven't been able to fix it completely sobs. Versions 1. 1 and 1. 2 somewhat fix this.

Compatibility issues
-
[]Obviously not compatible with mods that alter Leliana's hoodless hair mesh.
[
]I can't test this myself since "my" Leliana is (and will probably always be) the new Divine, but from what I’ve read here, hair mesh edits for Leliana don't seem to work in Trespasser.[]Doesn't seem to get along with mods that alter her hair colour (update: I've been playing around with her hair colour lately and it works, maybe it's just older mods that aren't compatible?).
Other than those, there aren't any other issues I can think of at the moment.
