The Chasind Shapeshifter
This is an updated version of the Chasind Morrigan mod originally uploaded to the DAITool forum in 2015.
What it does:
-
[]A no longer blindingly pale retexture for Morrigan, in deference to every other established-Chasind NPC in the series
[
]Makeup darkened and boldened for visibility, and fake eyeshadow sparkle banished[]Skin de-shined to reasonable levels, and normal map roughed up a bit on account of she is into her 30s at the very least
[]No moles were harmed in the making of this mod
Mod conflicts:
-
[]This will conflict with other retextures of Morrigan's face
[
]This will conflict with retextures of Morrigan's everyday outfit unless they are specifically made compatible (see below)[]This should not conflict with mods editing Morrigan's ballgown, as her skin texture is a separate file
[]This will not affect any NPCs other than Morrigan

The Mother of Vengeance
Like mother, like daughter. Just edits to Flemeth's skintone, no other tweaks, but it's likely to conflict with other retextures of her face and outfit.

Black Hair for Morrigan
Exactly what it says on the tin, darkens Morrigan's hair to a truer black.
Recommended mods:
-
[]horography's Morrigan's Outfit Retexture has an optional download compatible with this mod. The outfit retexture should be below this mod in the mod manager so it will take priority.
[]mercurialmalcontent's Kieran options provides a range of skintones for Kieran to reflect his parentage
[]Roberts2432's Tight Curls for NPCs and Companions has a curly hair mesh for Morrigan. Make sure you've downloaded the updated version of the black hair tint if you plan to use that and load it after the hair mesh.
Installation:
- Merge with the latest version of DAI Mod Manager or Frosty Mod Manager
