📋 About This Mod

NEW INFORMATION

Any new mods that I create for the "High Poly NPC Overhaul" series will require the new version of High Poly Head (1. 04).

My old mods that were created using the v1. 03 head seem to still work fine after updating.

I will probably update a few of those mods to the new version at some point, but it is not high on my priority list right now.

    WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?

⚠️ Cons
