📋 About This Mod

UPDATE: If you have already downloaded this file you will want to download version 3 and replace the existing .erf file with the new one. There were certain cut scenes (specifically Deep Roads) where the morph would revert to the old Bethany. Version 3 corrects this issue, sorry for any inconvenience. v3 corrected any issues I noticed on my play through, but if you experience any problems (specifically in Deep Roads) please just send me a message and I\'ll check it out. I am using a blonde Hawke for my second play-through, so I wanted a beautiful blonde sister to go with her. This will only work on light-skinned Hawke\'s, as this is a face morph only and does not change the skin tone of Bethany, so if you use this file on a darker Bethany, her head will not match her body. I do not know how to change the skin tone of the bodies, so please don\'t ask. I am a newbie when it comes to modding, and definitely new to making replacements for the Hawke family, as there are several variations, but I tried to accommodate for whichever lighter Bethany you may end up with (as it\'s based on skin tones and which presets you choose for Hawke), but if it doesn\'t work for you, then I apologize and probably will not be able to trouble shoot this for you since it is fairly new to me. I just played around with it until I had working during my testing and now my play through. 09 April 2011 Update: I have created a Carver Improved to go with this version of Bethany and the lighter skinned, blonde Hawkes. The download is available here (in 2 different hairstyles): Carver Improved To Install: Unzip the mod and place the .erf file in your Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age 2/packages/core/override folder To Remove: Delete the .erf file from your override folder Again, when downloading this please know there is a chance this mod may not work for your particular Bethany, but....it should work as I tried to ensure most variations were covered. Enjoy! Added Bethany Sliders as well as my chargenmorph file for anyone wanting to manually use Bethany_Improved for their custom Hawke. Located under \'optional\' files section.
