📋 About This Mod

My personal morphs I made for my game that I thought I would share with everyone. In light of all the wonderful new skin and eye textures I wanted an Alistair that was vanilla but with updated skin and eyes, and the girls (Leli and Morri) I ended up tweaking them, and giving them updates to their skin and eye textures as well. I tried to stay close to the vanilla feel for both the girls while still making sure they look pretty. If you like, feel free to say so. If this is not to your taste.... well, just don\'t troll please. :) Leliana and Morrigan: I updated their skin and eye textures, tweaked them a bit while staying true to their vanilla appearances, and gave them new hair. There are two versions of Morrigan - one in the original file and version B which is a separate file you can download if you like her better there. Simply delete the hf_genfl_morrigan.mor in the Updated Companions folder and replace it with the mor in the Morrigan B file. Alistair: completely vanilla, the only thing I did was update his skin and eye textures and add some scruff. Requires: Dracomie\'s true textures: http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=686 Morrigan and Leliana Sacred Ashes face mod (just the face textures - the .erf files): http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=435 Natalie portman face texture: http://social.bioware.com/project/2448/#details Morgana\'s face and eye textures: http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3378 Black hair is black (see note below): http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1606 LOTC\'s hairstyle collection: http://social.bioware.com/project/3766/#files LOTC\'s female eyelashes: http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1435 LOTC\'s default eyebrow fix: http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1321 CGI Leliana (only the skin tone and hair color): http://social.bioware.com/project/2224/#details Additional Hairs: http://social.bioware.com/project/7905/ Pineappletree\'s Vibrant Colors: http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=153 Luna\'s Eyes: http://social.bioware.com/project/5066/#files Luna\'s skin textures: http://social.bioware.com/project/5065/#files I think that covers all the mods needed for this. If the files don\'t work for someone be sure to let me know and I\'ll go through and see what other mods I might have missed adding to this list. Note for black hair is black: I wanted to keep the old black color so I renamed this file and as such it\'s used with Morrigan under the new name. There are a number of ways to fix this for you, the easiest one (imo) is to just change the name to what I have it under. If you already have the tint file in your override folder: go there and rename it to t3_har_blk2.tnt and t1_stb_blk2.tnt If this would mess too much up for you, you can fix this in the toolset by opening the .mor and editing the hair color name back to t3_har_blk.tnt and t1_stb_blk.tnt Up to you.
