Please read the "Known Issues" section below as well

Replaces a few DA:O character head textures and adds some new ones, as well as new presets/preset replacements. 

Replaced:
- uh_hed_dwfa_0d,
- uh_hed_elfa_0d,
- uh_hed_fema_0d,
- uh_hed_kida_0d,
- uh_hed_masa_0d,
- (optional) all PC presets except HF_PCC_BC01, DM_PCC_BC01, EF_PCC_BC01,
- (optional) NPC family replacers,
- (optional) emotion mask. Either a higher-quality one than vanilla, or a blank version so there are no wrinkles when characters are playing emotion animations,
- (optional) uh_har_0t replacer with 2 options. This can fix the apperance of some hairstyles looking grainy/dirty with some colors.

Added:
- uh_hed_drk_0d,
- uh_hed_drkma_0d,
- uh_hed_dwfma_0d,
- uh_hed_dwfmacln_0d,
- uh_hed_elfma_0d,
- uh_hed_khsAlNPC_0d,
- uh_hed_surana_0d,
- multiple eyelash textures (pf_ulm_khslshbas_0d, pf_ulm_khslshbas2_0d, pf_ulm_khslshbas3_0d),
- multiple eye textures that overlap with my companions' replacer,
- (optional) same presets can be added as new character presets.

Includes .mrh files for editing in Toolset if you'd like to make edits.

Known issues:

Beards. Beards in DA:O are broken, so if you choose a char with a beard and try to change his appearance (such as swapping the hair or the beard), the face WILL 99% break. This happens to me with a clean vanilla game as well, but perhaps it's an issue of the unlocked headmorphs, but I am personally willing to make that sacrifice. This should not affect vanilla faces, for instace (unless they're dwarves)

You still should be able to change the coloring of a character (hair, skin, eyes, tattoos, etc) safely. 
NOTHING IS SAFE WHEN TWEAKING MALE DWARFS IN-GAME - I DON'T KNOW WHY (and I don't really care)

If you want to avoid breaking the character's face, the best ways to fix that are:
- not using any beards (which sucks for dwarfs, who you can't tweak in-game anyway)
- using Dragon Age Toolset to make any tweaks to the preset manually. I provide .mrh files you need to do just that and minimal instructions.

Beards break vanilla faces as well as modded ones, so there is nothing I can do about it AFAIK.
