My thanks go out to Narphous for being so generous as to gift me the Dawnguard expansion over Steam!!! Thanks to him I was able to update the mod for Dawnguard.
Added a Vampire section to the Recommended Mods part of the mod page. Includes a mod that removes sunken cheeks on vampire characters!
Upgrading from The Ashen V2. 0? Read this!: If you've already installed the new version, you have probably noticed your character's face doesn't look like it did before. Better or worse. This is because I have used new CharGen morphs and are meant to make your character look better. If your character does not have his/her desired look, then go to the Recommended section and download "Show

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 14,634 endorsements and over 776k downloads.
- Adds a whole new face texture and more customization options for eyes, brows, and makeup.
- Based on a well-known mod, so it's likely to integrate well with other character mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — might have compatibility issues with newer Oblivion versions or mods.
