hey ive downloaded the more hairstyles mod at http://www.dragonage...file.php?id=392 but it doesnt seem to be working, ive installed to the correct file, but the hair doesnt show up in character creation, anyone know what i need to do?

Do you have other mods that affect the chargen? If so, you will also need to get the appropriate chargen xml file to make them work together. I believe Kzelsama has some listed there as optional files.

EDIT: also, make sure that if you have downloaded that xml file, that it is the only one in your override folder.

IF you've got another mod in your system that add in hairs, eyes, w/e to your chargen you probably have a chargenmorphcfg.xml file conflict.
I just looked up the mod you're talking about, and it does indeed have it's own cargenmorph file. If you've got the conflict going what you need to do is DL and install Terra's Chargen compiler. http://www.dragonage...file.php?id=971
Install it, configure it to compile and delete the old ones, and it will scan your folders and then put the two files into a singular file so that there is no more conflict. Really nice program. Make sure to leave an endorsement for it, after you get your new hairs working

You got that to work? I tried that several times and it never worked for me. I just went back to doing the .xml old school.

*cringes, almost not wanting to say this*
Ummmmmm..... yeah, it worked for me the very first time bud. mixed up 6 chargen files into one. I went back and looked in the override folder, and one chargen was all that was there afterwards.

Yeah, I know whatcha mean. But I try to avoid telling peeps how to edit the chargen files until last effort, cause they usually get one look at that big long list with a bunch of stuff they don't recognize, and FREAK OUT.
Saves my fingers the typing too!

I know what you mean. I ended up using the one that Kzelsama provided and followed his intructions. I think there is another out there that works for 5 mods together already written up, just need to pick the one that fits the mods you have. It worked for me, I just got to the point that I use just 2 of the mods on a regular basis.

That chargenmorph compiler works like a charm. You just have to make sure you have it pointed to all the correct filepaths and you should be set with it. One click and I got Pinapple's, ChargenMorph, Bidelles', More Hairstyles, and a few others to work seamlessly together for endless customization options.
