📋 About This Mod

As the name of this mod suggests, the NPCs of Vvardenfell, Solstheim and Mournhold have been given the \'makeover\' treatment. It is dependent on THE Facepack Compilation,, representing the collective work of over fifty modders. THE Morrowind NPC Makeover gives all of the game\'s standard NPCs new faces and hair. I have \"hand-placed\" every single NPC and have attempted to make their appearance fit in with their \"station in life\". I have done my best to make each NPC unique in appearance, but with over 3,000 NPCs in the game there may be a few \"doubles\" out there. I have also done my best to ensure that this mod is as \"clean\" as possible. I have made a few minor gameplay changes that affect some of the NPCs. None of these changes affect any of the game settings. Finally, a few selected mods have been merged into this one so that their changes to the NPCs would not overwrite or be overwritten by the changes this mod makes. THE Team A complete listing of the \"facial\" modders whose collective work has been used in this mod is listed in the readme for THE Facepack Compilation (required for this mod), and in the readmes for its four companion facepacks. In addition, the following modders’ work has been incorporated into this mod: Aerelorn\'s Less Annoying Guards Enmesharra\'s Light the Way Khan Raider\'s Imperial helms Puma Man\'s Gnisis Guard Fix SotiCoti\'s Better Dreamers Tarnsman\'s Elders 0 count add-on TheLys\' Imperial Guards Anticlone A separate version merged with these and Helios and Wrye\'s Living Cities of Vvanderfell has been created for user of that mod. The resources for that mod are located here. THE Requirements This compilation requires Morrowind patched to v1. 6. 1820 and both of the expansions: Tribunal and Bloodmoon. It also requires THE Facepack Compilation.esm and the resources of the four THE Facepacks that are part of the compilation. THE Installation & Usage If you are using any of the mod listed above, those should be deactivated. To install extract the archive file into the Data Files folder of your Morrowind directory. Use the esm file rather than the esp file if you are using other mods that make modifications to the NPCs and do not wish to have this mod overwrite their changes. Because this mod affects nearly every single NPC in the game, it WILL conflict with any mod that modifies the inventory, appearance, stats, AI, services, faction, class, and/or location of any of the game’s stock NPCs. This is the reason for the recommended usage of the esm file rather than the esp file. Remember, esm files load first, esp files second. Last mod loaded \"wins\". By using the esm file you will ensure that the desired changes your other mods make will be kept, and not overwritten. If you want to ensure that the changes made by this mod are not overwritten then use the esp file and adjust its load order
