For some reason these new orc faces do not show up in my game. What might have I done wrong? I do have another head replacer that came with a few orc faces and hairs, but I deleted those orc faces from the mesh folder. Kept the hair. Any idea?
EDIT: Ok, so apparently these new faces are only for the player. I never see any of the new faces on NPCs. Kinda pointless.
This is a great mod! I use all of your heads/faces mods as well as most of your other mods! The Children of Morrowind and the Playable Children mods are incredible.
Your faces are some of my favorite and I love the fact that you can choose the same face for multiple races if you want.
There is a reason why there are no male orc faces in this package. You see, it is based on the head meshes that Robert did for Children of Morrowind. Adult orc males are by default broader than other races; head meshes for default broadness look very weird on them. However, the orc children aren't that broad and use the standard shape of head meshes.
So, as a result, using Robert's meshes for adult male orcs doesn't work well at all. And therefore this facepack only has female faces.
I'm glad that you like them - I've always felt that the orcs should have their 'own kind of beauty' i.e. not 'pretty' but not downright ugly either. I wanted to make them 'handsome in a harsh orcish way'. Alas, I couldn't make any male faces, as I was working solely with Robert's head meshes from Children of Morrowind, and the male teenager orcs are not as 'broad' as the grown up ones. So these meshes didn't look good on grown-up males.
