About this mod

A small revamp of how the twins look in game.

TWINS REVAMP

This mod is a small revamp of how the twins look, and a teaser for an in-the-works 'twins aging' mod that I hope to get out... eventually... with some help. It includes edits to every single head in some way, from hair to complexion.

This mod contains everything you need, so you don't need to download anything extra. There is a readme as a download as well as one included under the 'readme' tab. It will go over just about everything you need to know, but in case you have no time to read that here is a brief summary

  • Every twin head has been changed in some way. Several Carver hairs have been altered as well as every Bethany hair, and they use Ellise's Unique Complexions, albeit with the heads from the Custom Families version, to even out the package.
  • There are options for Blond, Redhead and Brunette families for H1S2, H2S1 and H3S1. They should be self explanatory by folder name, but the readme details what that means.
  • NONE of the head files are packed in an .erf - this is so YOU can edit them as you please. I will make small tweaks and release fixes if something is wrong, but I won't be editing every single hair on someone else's whim - sorry! It's just a bit too much work for me.
  • In addition to the above, I have included a replacer for THIS Carver, because I did not like how he looked like a 40 year old man. This is h3s1. If you like that one, delete that particular preset. It will remain unaltered.
  • I have included both an edited hairstyle and unedited hairstyle version of Bethany in all four available colors.
  • I have also included extra files in case you're using Editable Iconic presets and Natural Skin so that you get the right family head.

The included image charts have the families in this order
H1S1 H1S2 H1S3
H2S1 H2S2 H2S3
H3S1 H3S2 H3S3

Here is a handy dandy larger chart so you know which head is attached to which preset.
***INSTALLATION***

Download the MOR FILES, THE TEXTURE FILE AND THE HAIR FILE. Yes, you need ALL three or parts of this will not work - you'll end up with bald heads or no faces. Once you have downloaded them, go into the .mor folders and choose ONE hair color and style set (modded vs normal iconic Bethany) that you want.

There are some optional files as well:

  • Chargenmorph file: use this ONLY if you plan on using the included .gda files. If you're not, don't bother. You HAVE to manually edit your own chargen file with this, because the compiler will add the skintones out of order. Additionally, this requires Natural Skin, linked above.
  • Family_Rules_Headfeatures.gda: this file tells the game which family is assigned to which preset. It will account for Editable Iconic Hawkes, which is included in the above chargenmorph, or through various other mods on the DA2 Nexus. Otherwise, if you don't have editable Iconic Hawkes, you won't need this.
  • Family_Rules_Skintones: this file tells the game which family is assigned to which SKINTONE, and is a little trickier. I have ONLY accounted for Verdical's Natural Skin, though I DO intend to create files that cater to Additional Skintones and Pineappletrees' tints, eventually. Again, use this only if you know what you are doing.
  • equipmentlayout_vaelsmod.gda: For if you want JUST Bethany and Carver to be equippable armorwise. If you use DFA or EQP, do NOT use this.


***CREDITS AND NOTES***

PICTURED in the background is the Reimagining mod. PLEASE give it a try, it's a gorgeous mod and definitely has made replaying the game worth it.

As linked above, this uses Ellise's Unique Complexions and Quenchedsteel's Ellise's Unique Complexions for Custom Hawkes, albeit a little bit edited.

This also includes hairs I plan to add to the Anto Hairs and Nightcrawler Hairs mods that I host on here, as I have permission to port their hairs.

Additionally, this includes hairs from the latest update of KS Hairdos. AFAICT this is all good; however, if it isn't, I'll remove those hairs from the file and you'll have to download them from KS Hairdos. Easy peasy :)

Hairs from KSHairdos are accredited to the following:
Ade, Alesso, Anto, Darko, Geisha, Jakea, Kijiko, Lapiz, Leah Lilith, Momo, NewSea, S-Club, Sintiklia, Sky, Stealthic, Peggy, Raonjena, Wings, XM and Zauma
and Hellosanta for the textures these are based off of
