READ THESE FAQs:
Q: Is it safe to update mid-playthrough?
AYes.

Q: Heads are floating/frozen?
ASet Animation LOD to High in your graphic settings.

Q: Speak with the Dead VFX/other face effects not working?
A: Padme has made a patch for this and other head mods combined! Go DOWNLOAD IT and thank her!

Q: Naked men showing up instead of character creation?
A: You did not install all required dependencies. You still need the mod fixer.


Q: Will I make these work for strong body type?
A: That would take some work, and I don't have plans for it right now.
In the meantime, check out my Strong Female Heads mod.


Q: What hair/horn/piercing did you use for the screenshots?
A: Check below.

Q: What do I download/what's the difference between versions?
A: Download the Unique Tav version ONLY if you are using Unique Tav Custom Appearance. Load it before Unique Tav.
The main files (non-replacers) will add NEW heads to CC; optional files (replacers) will replace vanilla heads.
You can use replacers and the non-replacer at the same time if you want.
PS I won't be updating replacer heads anymore, consider them UNSUPPORTED.


Q: Can't scroll through CC options/Mod doesn't work?
A: Please read the installation steps carefully and make sure you have all the requirements.
