By any means I don't want to diss on good ol better heads but listen guys: if you are looking for vanilla friendly heads with the best quality possible you NEED to check here https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/50152 Better heads is not really vanilla friendly when you notice that dunmer eyes are not fully red and most faces are too photorealistic and don't fit very well in the game.
That's a good one too. The only problem I have with the better heads mod here on this page is it makes Divayth Fyr look like someone he is not. The mod you linked reminded me I could simply extract the image and mesh files from another mod and overwrite the files or delete them and revert to vanilla. I think I am going to do just that, and extract the correct files from Westley's Mod. The Construction Set is going to help me target the correct parts. Thanks man.
1. Why did you do Jiub like that? He looks like he just came fresh from Hollywood with the countless earrings you put on him. 2. I've had several issues with getting good looking faces for certain races (namely Redguards), it seems more like it's an issue of using the mod on a save file from before the mod was downloaded, I don't know what one can do to fix that since I know nothing about modding nor the process of modding. 3. It seems that half the faces are either unchanged or have completely different skin tones to the rest of their bodies, sometimes the face is a completely different skin tone to the head, leading to at best uneven appearances and at worst completely undistinguishable facial features.
But even with these issues I'd still recommend players try this mod out, because when it works, it just works, and quite beautifully I might add
Didnt expect that after installing this mod some races become ugly as heck, somebody mentioned here Divayth Fir, didnt see him yet but i can tell orcs are handsome in vanilla comparing to that here. Also author why Eldafire is so ugly now, do u hate her?
fffffffff.............. all was cool at first but I saw Divayth Fyr author hates him so much he is so ugly. like all the ugliness of all vanilla characters was gathered into one big pile.
What I'd like to do is probably not wise, but since I don't like Divayth Fyr's appearance with the better heads mod, I wanna try editting the files applied to his appearance. I did fine with the face textures, but I'm having trouble with the hair, as when I swap the mesh and texture file names for BH_DS_DE_M_hair14kw (witch seems to be the one he gets in game) and BH_FP_DE_M_hair19w (the texture that seems closer to the original Fyr's appearance) his hair doesn't load properly.
If possible, which files should I edit and how, so that I can make him look closer to his original look?
I downloaded the v2 like mentioned before. To not waste a lot of time, like me, follow these simple instructions. Download v2 7Z Unpack it Create a New Folder In that Folder you place the 3 esps !not esms! and an folder named Data Files into Data Files you drop the mesh and texture folder also you can add now the extra stuff like better vampire if you like it select the 3 esps and the Data Files and create an Archive named Better Heads v2 Add the fresh made Archive with the NMM After activating check your Morrowind folder if theres an folder named "Better Heads v2" if yes you did it wrong!
Hi. Unfortunately this didnt save me any time at all. I had issues with missing meshes and it took me a while to figure out what was going on, and it came down to an error in your explanation where you had us place the esps and then create a folder named data files..in fact the esps need to be inside the data files folder. Allow me to break this down a little more.
Download BetterHeadsv2 from http://mw.modhistory.com/download-42-3286 (make sure you download the 7Z file, not the ace) Unpack it somewhere on your pc Create a New, empty, folder In that folder, place the 3 esps that are in the extras folder. Do not use the esms! Also place the meshes and textures folder in this new folder Select all 5 items - 3 esps and the 2 folders (meshes and textures) Create a new archive, name it something like BetterHeads2.zip Add the archive to your NMM and activate it After activating, check your Morrowind folder. If there's any duplicate data files folders or extra folders named better heads v2, then you did something wrong.
I was able to do it without NMM, and just did it manually, by following the instructions, NOT zipping the files, and then dragging the Data Files, 3 esps into the Morrowind Folder (not the Data Files folder). It merges the Data Files folders together, and it did work perfectly! I know this comment was over a year ago, but it could maybe help someone!
