My massive DAO chargen

I like to give each of my Wardens an appearance to match their personality and the specific playthrough. Over the years I have downloaded and tried many different mods: eye tints, hairstyles and hair colors, makeup, skins and complexions, etc. Many of these mods were created long before Vortex and some of the archives can't be installed very well by a mod manager. Sometimes the mod archive contains multiple zip files which in turn have to be manually unpacked. Sometimes there are too many subfolders and the chargen gets lost, or there is no chargen. Now I have a master chargenmorphcfg to use later, whenever I want.

To install, unzip the archive and extract into your override folder or download and install with Vortex mod manager.

You will need at least one of the following mods:  45 Real Skin Colours, Additional Hairs for DA by boodrl, AH00B Hairs, Anders' Hair for DAO, Beautiful People Hair REN, Bidelles Cosmetics, Big Brown Eyes, CC Extra Tints and Tones, colorful hair, Colorful makeup, CS - Eyebrows Color, CS - NEW eyes, CS - NEW tints for hairs, CS - Skins, DAO - Anto Hairstyles, Elven Hairstyles, Eyeshadow Collection, Eyessss Replace by ViLiSSa NOW for DAO, Face Texture Beta, Face textures, Faces by Norstaera, Fairy Face, Fluffy Bob for Origins Elves, HAIRSTYLE DAY, HAIRSTYLE DAY VOL. 2, Links Hair, Lipstick Collection, LOOK HAIR - see mochie's Ferelden Models, LOTC Hairstyles, LOTC s Eye Textures, More Hairstyles, New Skins DAO by ViLiSSa, New Textures by MissB, Night Elf Tattoos, Platinum Blonde, Pretty Skins, Pineappletree s Vibrant Colors, Realistic Ladies, REALLY Red Lips, Scalp Tattoos and Shaven Hair Designs, Schwarzalbenheim, Simple Hair Spectrum, Six Presets with Heterochromia, SJC's Vanilla Hair Colour Replacements and Pastel Colours, SJCs Hair Colours, SJCs Lip Colours, Lipstick - mole and freckle textures, SJC's Skin Tones, SJC's Skins, SJCs Tints And Textures, Strong Skin Colours - DELETED, tucked hair , and Warden Complexions with eyebrows. Most of these can be found here on Nexus.

You're not likely to have all of these. Heck, I haven't tried some of them ingame yet! If you have another mod you want to istall, great! My best advice is DON'T DROP THE CHARGENMORPHCFG. XML DIRECTLY INTO THE OVERRIDE FOLDER. That's where you can get in trouble with conflicting chargens. What works for me is this:

...override/mod A/chargenmorphcfg.xml and assets

...override/mod B/chargenmorphcfg.xml and assets

...override/mod C/chargenmorphcfg.xml and assets

Keeps the chargenmorphcfg.xml's separate until you're ready to combine them. It will be much easier than than combining chargenmorphs one at a time, even if it means creating folders.

After you finish installing this mod, run the CharGenMorph Compiler by TerraEx. It will combine the chargens into one and identify any bad references (for example, references to a mod not installed). Remove all those bad references wi
