- []Added support for the head06 (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20166) mesh by throttlekitty []Revamped v1. 1 agemaps. []Re-wrote the ReadMe (apparently I was drunk the last time ^_^)
- []Added support for all vanilla NPCs
- []Skin tones jitter and jump around like crazy, all the time. []Facegen sliders affect textures/facial features that they really shouldn\'t (changing the eyebrows should not change the lip-color, etc). []Quick and satisfying configurations are very difficult to achieve when every new change messes with previous changes. []Face and body skin tones almost never match up.
- []You gain more control over the skin tone. []Facegen sliders no longer mess with each other as noticably (changing the eyebrows doesn\'t change the lip-color, etc). []Faces are smoother, i.e. less blocky/fragmented. []Face and body skin tone match up almost always. []All NPCs gain the same benefits.
- Creating a new character takes much less time and becomes more enjoyable.
