📋 About This Mod
With the help of the wonderful Padme4000, Alistair has an entire new head morph - Professor Kenric's head morph from the Jaws of Hakkon DLC, to be exact! Fortunately, you do not need that DLC to use this mod. However, this does not seem to work in DLC's, which won't be a problem unless you are using a as Alistair mod.
Alternately, there is also a retexture version that uses the head he already has and applies the same textures/colours.
There are also 4 hair colour options you can choose from - brown, light brown, ginger and blonde. The images provided showcase the brown colour.
Alternate hair option - Padme4000's Frosty DAO Alistair Hair for Inquisition Alistair
Thanks to the talented Padme4000, you can now have Alistair's Origins hairstyle with my head morph. Download her head morph file and use it with my head morph file.

What's the difference between RETEXTURE and HEADMORPH?
RETEXTURE uses Alistair's head as it is in the game and changes the textures.
HEADMORPH gives him an entirely new head and changes the textures.
I have provided images in the images tab that showcases the differences. Both textures are the same.
Does this work with other mods that change him?
As of 18/11/21, no.
Does this work for his whole body?
The optional Skin Tint file will tint the rest of his body to match the colour of his head. It's not perfect, but if you have clothing around the neck, it won't be noticeable. However, because of other tint mods that cause clashes regardless of Alistair's relation to it, I recommend only using this if Alistair's skin is exposed elsewhere, such as his King outfit or if you are using a replacement mod and find him naked for reasons.
King Alistair's hands are still white.
For whatever reason, his hands in this outfit don't automatically match whatever tint he has. Pademe4000's 'King Alistair Outfit Hand Fix' fixes this issue.
Flemeth/Celene has darker skin.
Some NPC'S use the same skin tint as Alistair which now gives them the same skin tone. This only happens when you use the optional skin tint file which you only need if you have Alistair exposed below the neck. Apart from that, I can't fix it.
Can you make a daimod version?
I've tried to but I just can't get it to work. If anyone would like to try convert it, feel free to go ahead but please mention it's from this me/this mod.
