📋 About This Mod
These are the vanilla head meshes turned high poly (although still with reasonable poly count) so they better conform to the head meshes from Character Kit Remake. There is not much reason to use these with the vanilla heads since the low poly beard meshes already fit them well.
There may be some gaps between the head and beards in certain cases, but I'm not sure if making them fit more tightly to the head won't produce clipping with expressions, so I refrained from editing them. A few beards were left as is because they're quite small and barely cover the head.
I also wanted to include the eyebrow meshes but I've run into an issue that prevented me from completing them yet, they may be coming at a later date.
Compatiblity/Issues
Since this is a simple mesh replacer it is compatible with pretty much any mod that doesn't touch the same meshes. The screenshots show the textures from BEARDS, which I recommend to use aswell, but it comes down to preference in the end.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Character Kit Remake is installed first, then drop this mod's files into your mod manager and activate them.

- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of overwrites, especially if you have other beard mods.
