📋 About This Mod

Version 1. 3 and later fixes a significant bug in earlier versions of this mod. After updating, MRHs made with an older version (not vanilla) may require correction if they use certain sliders. Please see the update actions article under Version 1. 3 for more details.

Please make sure to read the installation instructions below. Only one of the files goes in your override folder.

This mod loosens some of the restrictions governing making headmorphs in the Dragon Age Toolset. There are two options available with different levels of control. It does not change any restrictions in the in-game character creator, though presets made with it can circumvent a lot of them.


About

When you're making headmorphs in the Toolset, have you ever wanted to...

  • [] select custom hairs easily?

    [] combine multiple nose/eye/head shape sliders in the Feature Selection section?

    [] put a beard on more than just male humans, dwarves and qunari?

    [] stop the in-game character creator from snapping features to 100%?

    [] change the mouth/cheeks/jaw of a head with a beard on?

    [] select the tattoos from the in-game character creator easily?

    [] use nose/eye/head shapes from one base head on a different base head?

    [] choose a different scalp hair pattern (or not have any) under a hair model?

    [] put elf ears on non-elf heads?

    [] change the eyebrow style, skin tint map or accessory colour for one character in particular?

    [] add a scalp tattoo?

    [] move nostrils up and down?

    Well now you can! And more! Other fixes and tweaks include circumventing the "white scalp issue", restoration of several unused morph targets, and renaming some sliders.

    This mod has two options available: one where it's possible to ignore or avoid all of the changes or additions, and one more advanced one (that also includes the previous option's features) where some previously-automatic things can (and must) be controlled manually. I've provided a summary of each option's features, followed by more details that explain more about the use and workings of each feature.

    If you enjoy this mod and want to submit screenshots of what you've made with it, I would be delighted! Similarly, if you publish any headmorphs or headmorph packs, please feel free to drop a link!

    Note: If you have an existing MOR or MOP that you want to edit in some of the same ways as this mod but don't have the MRH, please see the Manual Workarounds article on this mod. For a short tutorial on how to make head presets and get them into the CC, please see this article.

    Please do not ask me to create new morph targets from scratch or to edit morph target meshes: the Toolset and game are very particular about morph ta

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in March 2023—might not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or mods.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the DAO Toolset installed and know how to use it—this mod modifies Toolset behavior, not the game directly.
  • If you're new to modding, back up your Toolset files before applying changes so you can revert if something goes wrong.
  • Check the mod's forum or comments for user tips on combining features—some combinations might still cause visual glitches.
