IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM MY EARLY ACCESS PREVIEW, PLEASE DELETE THE OLD FILE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ONE.
♡ PRESETS
˚ʚ♡ɞ˚BODY TYPE 1 (Full Elf, Half-Elf, Human)
Lyanna
Sophia
Wanda
˚ʚ♡ɞ˚BODY TYPE 2 (Full Elf, Half-Elf, Human)
Morpheus
Hawthorne
Please note: I will not convert these to BT3/4 or tieflings unless I decide I want to. I do not play these often; therefore, it takes too much time to do as I have many releases planned.
Converting them also does not look very good (at least when I do it), so I would rather do ones only for BT3/4. I will make packs specifically for these body types in the future.

What's the Morpheus hair please? It seems like the "Mini Hairpack" from Toarie but combined with something else? The hair by default has shaved sides (Which dont look that good), Morpheus on the other hand has longer hair on the sides. Is it some extra mod for hair in jaw slot or something?

It’s a personal edit of it, but it doesn’t work very well outside of screenshots. I just exported the “messy hair” mod into blender and lengthened it a lot. It doesn’t have physics though so it goes through the body when walking 😭

stunning! how did you jinx's long hair in the pics, if you don't mind me asking? i cant seem to figure out how from the hair mods list provided.

I will consider it. To be honest, I have tried converting my heads to different body types and they always didn’t look right and had many glitches since I’m not very good at it. I usually prefer to make them specific as it fits/works best that way, but I will try my hand at it again. I will also be making packs specifically for those body types in the future :)

My bad for the first comment, but hey I don't mean to be THAT person, but I love these heads they're gorgeous I mean it. I want to support you but can you convert these heads to BT3 and 4? I want to make tall himbos and muscular women from time to time. If you're already working on that then I can't wait. I HOPE I'm not coming off rude I really want to use these heads for BT3 and 4.
