I grew tired of swapping textures every time I switch characters, so I finally relented and did this.

Made a little ESL-flagged mod that gives me (and you) more complexion and diffuse slots to be used for Charmers of the Reach, both sexes. Additionally, I included the textures previously included in this mod and added some new ones, including elven brow ridge adaptation for female faces.


December 16 update: 
Expanded the number of available slots--now I (and you) can have up to 30 normal textures for both male and female faces. Probably overkill but I don't care. Diffuse textures for males are expanded up to 47 slots (same as female now). 

You might need to fix your character's face or face presets after updating, especially if using any of the elven normal maps. The elven stuff are still placed at the back of the complexion slider for convenience reasons.

The extra 6 diffuse textures for males have been merged with the 1.1 version.

Also added 5 new diffuse textures for female faces and 4 for males. Most of them are clumsily extracted/adapted from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Enayla13's Alistair and Josephine (diffuse only) face textures are included (after being somewhat fixed by me). They're not perfect but I tried my best :D

See the (very rushed) preview screenshots at the back of the image section.

Check the screenshots, please. Also here are more screenshots of male normal maps as I'm too tired to copypaste them all here.




How to use in-game:

Open Racemenu, look for two sliders titled "Complexions" (for normal maps) and "Face Parts" (for diffuse maps).
I suggest change the complexions first, then face parts later.
Face Parts are named on the bottom right part of Racemenu (00DZB_MaleHead00##, for example), but Complexions are not named. If you want to quickly switch to any of the elven normal maps, drag your mouse to the very last of the slider (woodelf_var), and then work from there.

Charmers of the Reach
Bioware for some of the face textures.
Alistair Theirin RaceMenu preset by Enaya13(extra note: grab their textures, rename them to any of the empty slots instead of overwriting, they're beautiful)
Custom Male Body Patch and Addons by Kartoffels for the idea :)


Technical details: All textures saved in BC7 Compression. Let me know if there's any problem in-game.


Stuff someone will probably ask in the future:

• The new complexions don't show up! As I said, make sure the ESP is enabled and nothing is overwriting the race records. I had to edit those to make the complexions show up in-game. The new diffuse textures should show up regardless. If you've done everything and the new complexions still aren't showing up, pull the ESP to the very last of your load order.
• The new complexions show up, but it made my character's face flat as a pancake! / The new diffuse show up, but they're just copies of the same default textures! You're probably switching to one of the empty slots. Put some textures on that slot, first.
• When I switch my character's complexion, their face texture reverts to the default texture? That's why I recommend changing the complexion first, and face parts second. If the glitch happens, just change the face parts to something else then change back.
• There's a neckseam! The textures are made to match Vitruvia and the default female body textures included in CotR (I used the UUNP version). If you want them to fit your own textures, you need to edit them yourself with something like Caliente's Texture Blender.
• The textures show up purple/there's seam on the face/any other glitch in the matrix I accidentally glazed over. Let me know which, and I'll fix them (hopefully) ASAP.
• There's a problem with the ESP. I double-checked everything and it should work fine, including the patch, but let me know regardless.
• I have Racial Body Morphs but I don't want the racial changes to affect CotR races, can I just not install the patch? Yes.
• Can you add more slots? Maybe later.
• Does this conflict with Ultimate Headparts Addon? Yeah, in a way. You'll still get their additional diffuse textures (Face Parts), but not the new complexions. I actually contemplated editing their ESP instead, but got so confused with the naming stuff I ended up just starting from scratch. You can just rename their additional textures to any of my empty slots, though.
• Some of the normal maps don't fit my diffuse textures (or vice versa). Well, yeah. Experiment with different textures and combinations, and use Racemenu sculpting if necessary.
• Only wood elves, dark elves, and orcs? No high elves? I tried making one for high elves but it ends up not looking that different from the darkelf2 version.
• Why do you even bother? Brow ridges on elves are fugly! I think they're neat :)
• What the bleep are normal maps anyway? Those thingies that give your character's face depth and and have a 3D feel to it, like wrinkles, nasolabial lines, jaws, and so on.
• Can I use your texture for a follower mod/Racemenu preset/whathaveyou? The same permission rules from CotR applies. If they say it's ok to use their assets in a standalone thingy, then yeah, do whatever you want with this.
