*****************************************************************
PLAYING THE PLUGIN
*****************************************************************
From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box
next to the Westly's Master Headpack X.esp file.
This plugin is a compilation of all of the heads and hairs that I have made over
the past year (both released content and new content previously not seen).
All of my previous textures are updated and refined in this MHP so as to meet
with my current quality standards. For example and most notably are the difference
in the Dark Elf males, who have been given a deeper contrasted skin tone with
subtle ethinic characteristics added to reflect a relationship with the textures
from the original Morrowind Textures.
This merges the following headpacks:
Westly's Dark Elf Male Headpack (185 heads)
Westly's Female Headpack - Elves and Orcs
60 Dark Elf Heads
30 High Elf Heads
50 Wood Elf Heads
45 Orc Heads
Westly's Female Head Pack-Humans
33 Breton Heads
35 Imperial Heads
26 Nord Heads
29 Redguard Heads
Westly's High Elf Male Headpack (50 heads)
Westly's Breton Male Headpack (34 heads)
Westly's Imperial Male Headpack (24 heads)
Westly's Nord Male Headpack (29 heads)
Westly's Wood Elf Male Headpack (33 heads)
Westly's Young Male Mystic Headpack
10 Breton Heads(which have also been made available
without tattoos and glow by request)
10 Dark Elf Heads
10 High Elf Heads
10 Nord Heads
10 Wood Elf Heads
5 Redguard Heads
Westly's Orc Male Headpack (50 heads)
Westly's Redguard Male Headpack (50 heads)
NEW CONTENT:
36 Dark Elf Males
34 High Elf Males
36 Wood Elf Males
36 Breton Males
77 Nord Males (with various amounts of facial hair and woad)
20 High Elf Females
30 Wood Elf Females
30 Nord Females
30 Imperial Females
26 Breton Females
20 Female Khajiit Heads
26 Male Khajiit Heads
35 Female Argonian Heads
35 Male Argonian Heads
*NOTE: These New Imperial Females used the "Mask" or eye and eyebrow shape from many
of UQF's faces at the request for another race project (which I used as a template to
paint over). That project has since disappeared/disbanded, so an inclusion of these heads
in some project or another was needed, so here they are in the MHP .

The textures for these heads are a culmination of my style that has developed
from the making of thousands of heads (to date,that is). They reflect
the aesthetic in my sculptures and illustrations, and as such, these are the
best representations of my art in any of my head packs so far. I hope that you
enjoy them, as these are truly my favourite heads to date.
NOTE:These heads use a unique feature so far under-utilised for Morrowind: the Detail Map.
The detail map (as far as TES:III is concerned) is an additional texture that acts
as an overlay on the base texture to add more depth and emphasis on key features
(such as facial hair and tattoos). I have also made use of the detail maps in the
"scar tattoos", by applying the tattoo layer to the detail map alone (which
leaves the raised appearance of scarrification to the base texture beneath).
Original Heads Revamped- This includes my retextures and remeshes of the
original Morrowind Head choices so that they are
refreshed and made new while still retaining the
nature and character of the original heads
Ren's Female Heads for All Races- Ren's altered Rhedd meshes are very popular
for those that like anime-esque faces. However,
Ren's original mod only made the heads available
for Breton and Dark Elf races. So, I have
textured the heads for the other races as well
(High Elf, Imperial, Nord, Wood Elf, and Redguard).
These are new textures that merge my own style
with Ren's so as not to be a recolour only. This
allows for my own signature to be evident in the
head textures as well
.
In addition to all of the new heads available, I have also included a very, VERY
large selection of hairs (with styles from Rhedd, Darksharp, Gorg, and Ren).
All have recieved a new texture by me in some fashion so as to remain unique
to this mod. This is the part where I would like to detail exactly every hair that
I have used, but there are so many that this would take a README unto itself to
describe, so I will break down the basics that are not evident in the screenshots
provided with this mod:
Ren's Oblivion Hairstlyes for all races (converted for use in Morrowind)-
A multitude of shapes/styles and new colours available for each
.
Ren's Hairs from the original Beauty Shop and Jenova's Child mods
that I have altered and given completely new textures so as to be
unique to this mod
.
Many of Rhedd, Darksharp, and Gorg's original hairs which a now available
for races to which they were not previously assigned, as well as having
new textures (on many of the styles) to add to the uniqueness that is
inherent in this mod.
Many New horn styles for Argonians, Male and Female (based on Silaria's
great horn meshes). They range from basic bone tones of brown to colourfully
carved tribal designs to gilding with gold, silver, and copper details.
The females have jeweled options as well.
I have also made new styles for the Khajiit using Ren's Oblivion hair meshes.
They look grand on the Khajiit, as they add a leonine quality to the noble cats
.
I thoroughly enjoy making textures, especially faces, as they are what truly
gives life and personality to any character.
Cheers!

Save Games
*****************************************************************
This plugin will not invalidate your old saved games. If you save
your game while this plugin is loaded, you may encounter error messages
when you reload the saved game without the plugin. But you will be
able to continue on with the original game.
*****************************************************************
Changing the Face of an Existing Character
*****************************************************************
To change the face of your existing character without starting a new game,
open the console and type "enableracemenu". Choose your new face and hair.
Changing your race will cause temporary problems that should resolve
themselves when you reload. Always save your game first in case of
unpredictable errors and save afterwards in a new file.
