Q&A

Q: I have a question.

A: Read the description thoroughly before posting a comment. I am happy to help you with anything not mentioned here.

Q: Why does this require High Poly Head? It isn't listed as a master on the plugins.

A: Because this affects 33 NPCs and I hate taking that many assets from the original mod when you can just install the original mod. You can disable the plugin if you don't want to use High Poly Head, you just need the assets.

Q: What options should I choose when installing High Poly Head (HPH)?

A: It shouldn't really matter. Just make sure you are using the high poly hair meshes. Though, if there are some tri file options that cause the dark face bug, let me know and I will list those options as incompatible.

Q: What mods do you recommend should be used alongside this?

A: This uses your skin textures, but the textures I am using in the screenshots are BnP with frostbite for male and moles for female. Not required, though. But I very strongly recommend the following: Scars Retexture and Facial Hair by Khisartin, FA Orcodontist by Fireapple, and Miggyluv's Natural Orc Teeth (yes, I know these replacers use vanilla mouth meshes, but these textures still look just fine).
