I promised (to myself) to make a post detailing all things about Charmers of the Reach, some amateur tips and tricks and I'll throw some of my assets while at it.
Asset Repository for Charmers of the Reach SE, Mediafire (extract it using 7zip)
What to expect: mostly face diffuse adapted from Dragon Age: Inquisition, plus some extras. The face diffuse are made to match Bits and Pieces on the neck, don't ask me to make a patch for other skin mods as it will bloat the file size unnecessarily. Edit the textures yourself! And these are modder's resource anyway; you'll probably want to edit them further after you download them.
Permissions: You are allowed to use the face textures in your NPC overhaul, whether as is or with some modification, with proper credit to me and Bioware. Leave a link to this post, if possible. Don't use it on any monetized mod. There is a read me inside the folder that goes into more detail.
Do not redistribute on any mod sharing website without my consent. You can back it up for personal use, share it with your friends etc (but mind the credits), but don't re-share the contents of the repository on Nexus, Loverslab, etc etc. The exception being if I haven't been active for at least a year on Nexus: shoot me a message, and if I don't respond in a month or so, assume I'm AWOL from the modding community.
That's it! You can leave now. Unless you want to listen to my further rambling, for some reason. Buckle up because this is going to be a long ride.
Preamble: What the Fuck is Charmers of the Reach?
It's this mod.
Why the Fuck Would I Use Charmers of the Reach?
Because it allows me far greater detail than the vanilla head mesh, I'm no longer chained to the one race = one normal map limitation that exists on the vanilla head mesh, it's very easy to convert female textures to male textures and vice versa, and I've played this game for 10+ years and need some variety, dammit.
It's not really a matter of "ooooh this is wayyy prettier than vanilla heads!", no, it's just a matter of more details and more versatility to me. I can, will, and HAVE made some God-awful ugly faces with CotR, believe you me.
