I wanna be your heroine (iwbyh)
Head presets for elves and human females in Dragon Age Origins
------------------------------------------------------------

The installed heads will be available within the standalone and within the ingame Character Creator. If You want, You can modify the preset to Your taste. Have fun.

If you are familar with the DA-Toolset, you can replace your current PC (player character), if it is a human or an elven female.

Copy the file "*.mor" into the folder ...coreoverridetoolsetexport then open a savegame (*.das) with DA-Toolset.

Below the tree "Top Level Struct" - open
"SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR" - then
"SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR" - then
"SAVEGAME_APPEARANCE" - go to the last entry
"SAVEGAME_APPEARANCE_MORPH_NAME" - double click into the the most right field and enter for example "hf_azzyrease" of "ef_toxiclone.
Save the modified file. (The toolset renames your original savegame. to *.das.bak)

Load the modified savegame within the game.


------------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
The tattoos can't be used by Dalish Elves. After the selection of a preset within the Character Creator, the reference to the tattoo is overwritten by a default one. But You can use vanilla tattos instead, or replace your PC with the DA-Toolset, as mentioned above.

When a previously stored character is edited again, check its representation. The nose, the background and some other details may be different from the original preset. Reload the preset if the modification by the Character Creator isn't acceptable.
