Yes! It’s the messy hair. I won’t release that version since it isn’t actually useable for gameplay, it only looks good in photos. It has no physics, so it clips through the body heavily when walking 🥲

Amazing mod! Which hairstyle is used in the first picture of LYANNA? I guess it's Messy Hair by justmocia. However, the version released on Nexusmods is similar to the one in the photos, but not the same. Then i noticed the word PERSONAL EDIT. Will you share your own edition?

what is the clothing that morpheus is wearing?

I am not sure. I have tried to covert stuff to the reborn race too for someone and it never worked. If it helps, this is the answer I was given by the creator: https://i.imgur.com/frsRVy4.png

These are incredible, thank you so much <3 It's totally fine if not, but I've been driving myself crazy trying to convert these for the Reborn race (your HOTD + some other heads are already patched in) and I can't seem to get them to appear. I've changed to race UUIDs etc and have basic notepad++/Blender/BG3MR experience, but think it's because they use the Tiefling body. Some of the pre-sets heads are humans, though so they're the ones I tried to alter. Is there an easy way to DIY swapping the body the head recognises? I don't really care about the aesthetic of horns/neck gaps etc, and if not then I'll leave it alone, but I'm chasing my tail looking at tutorials that all seem to go the other way lol
