RECOMMENDATIONS
-
[]This mod is recommended to be used together with Dragon Age Redesigned. Just overwrite the files from it with mine.
[
]Also I highly recommend Unique Characters Overhaul. Almost all NPC's outfits in the images are added by this mod.[]Orlesian Baroness is Orlesian makes the Baroness look like true Orlesian noble.
[]Sigrun Legionnaire of the Dead adds Legion of the Dead armor from DAI to Sigrun.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 210 endorsements and 5,481 downloads.
- Targets a specific expansion, so it's focused and doesn't touch the base game.
- Pure cosmetic – no gameplay balance worries.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with newer mods or patches.
- Only covers Awakening, not the base game or other DLCs.
- Potential conflicts with other face overhaul mods for the same NPCs.

- Make sure to install this after any other mods that affect the same NPCs to avoid overwriting.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex to easily enable/disable and manage load order.
