What It Does
Automatically starts the chargen in the transitions between Acts, so that you can change Hawke's appearance with the passage of years. Chargen will start between the Prologue and Act 1, between Acts 1 and 2, and between Acts 2 and 3.
Additionally, there's an option to put you into a new "Finery" outfit for the start of Act 2, when Hawke is visiting the Viscount. (This is totally separate from your Home clothing, and will not replace it.) If you have MotA installed, it will put you into one of the noble MotA outfits (with two fantastic retextures from ThaliaGraces). If you don't have MotA, it will put you into normal Noble Clothing.
This is fully compatible with and was developed alongside DLC Timings.
Installation
Automatic Chargen is an addin, which means it needs to be placed in your addins folder. That folder should be in one of the following places:
C:\...\Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age 2\addins
C:\...\Origin\Dragon Age II\addins
For Steam, it should be something like: C:\...\steamapps\common\DragonAge 2\addins
Place the entire "automatic_chargen" folder in the addins folder. DO NOT PLACE THE MAIN FILE IN YOUR OVERRIDE. IT MUST GO INTO ADDINS.
The optional Equip Swap erfs can simply be tossed in your Override, but please note that they REQUIRE the main file to work.
Compatibility
No known incompatibilities at the moment, but it will be incompatible with any mod that changes the following files:
dre180cs_ragstoriches_mag.cut
dre180cs_ragstoriches_war.cut
pro000cs_act1_crim_mage.cut
