About this mod

This adds a new preset and/or head morph for use in your game; a new human male.

Permissions and credits
-------PRESET-------

The main file is a new preset for human males, replacing the existing preset #1. Simply download the zip file and extract the .mop file into your \Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\ folder. It's already properly named and should go into effect the next time you load and start a new game.

This preset will not be compatible with any other human male presets using preset slot #1; you can change the number at the end from 01 to 02, 03, etc. if you need.

This preset is clean shaven if you prefer your men smooth-faced. He has stubble in the screenshots because that is how he wears it in my game.

-------HEAD MORPH-------

There is an alternate version available, a head morph. This is just in case you'd like to apply this head to an existing character.

There are two files available, one with facial hair as shown in the screenshots, and one that is clean-shaven. Choose which one you want first. These are ".mor" files and you will need the toolset in order to apply one of them to your save game.

Installation Instructions using the toolset:
1) Download and unzip the .mor file you want to your packages/core/override folder. By default both the regular and clean-shaven versions are titled "hm_new_pc.mor".
2) Open the construction set. Go to File-Open and open the "savegame.das" you want to edit (you can find it in documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/Characters/[character name]/Saves)
3) Once it's loaded you'll see a series of menus. Click the pluses to expand the "SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR" and then "SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR" and then "SAVEGAME_APPEARANCE". Look for "SAVEGAME_APPEARANCE_MORPH_NAME" and type in the name of the file you just placed in your "override" folder. Leave the .mor part out, though. As long as you didn't change the file name, you'll type "hm_new_pc" in the box (without quotes). Save and close and load the save you just edited.

Make sure you back up your save first. Also, there are harmless issues with character appearance and shapeshifting in the fade section when you edit this part of the save game, but you can always open the save game, delete the morph name, and save again to solve the issues. And then once you're out of the fade, just go back and repeat the steps above to get your characters' looks back. Hopefully this helps and I didn't miss anything- I'm definitely no expert.
