📋 About This Mod
Replaces many of the vanilla-style heads + hairs added by TR with ones that better match with the Westley heads look.
Backup page for Tamriel Rebuilt Pluginless Head & Hair Replacer from 2014.
Originally was on the now-defunct Wolflore website. Archive of the forum thread here.
This mod REQUIRES both TR properly installed AND Westly's Master Headpack (for the latter, it's not necessary to have the plugin checked).
Full original readme is below, if you click the spoiler.

DESCRIPTION
***********************************************************
This simple mod replaces the vanilla-style heads and hairs added by Tamriel Rebuilt, "upgrading" them to present-day standards set by the modding community.
The heads and hairs used are from Westly Master Headpack and this mod REQUIRES it to be installed to work (it's not necessary to check the plugin, though; you just need to have the files from Westly's mod correctly installed).
A single model (and texture) is from Better Heads.
I've tried to stay as close as possible to the look of the original faces replaced; however, graphical replacers are higly subjective, so it's mostly a matter of personal taste.
If you don't like something, feel free to replace the file(s) you don't like to something more to your liking.
I made this mod for personal use and released it because I've had a few requests for it. I'm happy if someone find it enjoyable, but it's released mostly in a "as is" way. I'll try and correct any possible mistakes (though there shouldn't be any): just don't expect me to custom-tailor it to your taste! :P
All the credits go to Westly for his amazing work, to the people in the TR team and to the team who created Better Heads.
This little mod is intended as an "homage" and token of appreciation to them. There's no wish on my part to take credit for someone else's work.
NEW in this version:
- Replaced 6 more heads, added by the last version of Tamriel Rebuilt
- Timestamped all these meshes so that Morrowind will load them instead of the original ones in the .bsa archive

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Recent update (January 2025) means it's fresh
⚠️ Cons

For Morrowind players who use Tamriel Rebuilt and Westley's head replacer, and want consistent faces across the mainland. Skip if you don't use those mods or prefer vanilla TR looks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install after Tamriel Rebuilt and Westley's heads so the replacer overwrites correctly.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 to keep track of file overwrites—this mod has no plugin, so manual install is fine but riskier.
- If you see mismatched heads in-game, double-check that this mod's meshes are actually overwriting TR's—load order matters even for texture/mesh replacers.
