📋 About This Mod
EDIT: v. 2 is here, keeping Elijah's CaucasianOldAged race, thanks to PlatinumShad0w for pointing it out
Were you ever slightly frustrated that Father Elijah looked like this wrinkly mess with baggy eyes and crazy hair in the hologram throughout the entirety of the DLC, only to confront him at the end and notice his neatly combed hair? No? Just me?
Well it turns out that the reason the hair doesn't match is because Father Elijah's race is set to CaucasianOldAged, which limits his hair choices in favour of a wrinklier appearance. I decided I didn't like that and sacrificed that visual change by swapping it to CaucasianOld, which will still make him look old, but not as old, but will allow me to add the correct hair type.
If there's any trouble, let me know, this is technically my first mod, even though it's not exactly much haha.
Have fun :D
