UPDATE 01/01/10:

As requested, I've added version 2.1 of this file, which features smaller ears to hopefully prevent them clipping through helmets. However, unlike the ears in version 2.0, there will be clipping problems with most of the longer hairstlyes that don't lie tight against the scalp, so it's a trade-off.

If you want to use one of the other versions, and ear clippage is a concern for you, I suggest using the No Helmet Hack by Yonline2 (http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=202). You'll get the benefits of a helmet, but keep your PC's head unobstructed.


UPDATE 12/20/09:

Added version 2.0 of this file in which I tweaked his skin texture, eyes, nose, jaw, cheeks, ears, and brows.

I've kept version 1.0 as well in case you like it better or if you want to use both of them (in that case, you'll need to rename one of the replacement files; e.g. rename one of the em_cps_p07.mop files to em_cps_p06.mop).


=================
DETAILS:
=================

This .mop file replaces the preset 07 slot under the elf male slider in the DA:O character creation. (If you already have a preset face in this slot, then feel free to rename this file to another number.)

There are now three versions of this file:

1. Version 2.1 -- Smaller ears to hopefully prevent clipping through helmets; does not use any CC; everything else is the same as Version 2.0.

2. Version 2.0 -- I tweaked Version 1.0's skin texture, eyes, nose, jaw, cheeks, ears, and brows; available in two flavors: one that requires CC to be installed, and one that uses vanilla DA:O choices

3. Version 1.0 -- available in two flavors: one that requires CC to be installed, and one that uses vanilla DA:O choices


=================
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
=================

For the Version 2.0 file that requires CC, you'll need to install Pineappletree's Vibrant Colors mod (http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=153). I used the following files from her mod:

__White eyes (pt_eye_wht)

__Tan Skin Tint (pt_skn_t03)

__Dark Brown Brow and Stubble Tint (pt_stb_br4)


For the Version 1.0 file that requires CC, you'll need:

__White eyes (pt_eye_wht) from Pineappletree's Vibrant Eye Colors package (http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=120)

__Skin Tint cc_skn_002 from Jaylo's CC Extra Tints & Tones (http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=69)


=================
INSTALLATION:
=================

Place em_cps_p07.mop in Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override folder.


=================
UN-INSTILLATION:
=================

Delete em_cps_p07.mop from Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override folder.


=================
KNOWN ISSUES:
=================

__Preset replacements can conflict with other custom presets that change the same preset slot. If you have a preset that is already set to that slot, all you have to do is change the slot number of this file to another number.
