Thanks a lot for the saves!!
Well in the process of adjusting the heads, I managed to fit em all on the necks properly in case of the females, so I hope I will be able to do the same with males.
The issue with hair is something which doesnt have a simple solution. I asked Interkarma for some changes in how the helmet masks are working, but it turned out that my request would mess up other things, so its a no go.
Basically, any hair which are dropping bellow the shoulders level to the body cant be cut out because the helmet mask also cuts out the body itself... Also, every helmet has its own file for masking, and I dont have strength to redo em, its realistically around 500 masks and they are not easy to create for me.
So what I found out is, that if I adjust the hair so its not really huge, most of the issues get solved on its own..
Im aware that some armor legs do not fit perfectly, and some clothes as well. Bear in mind Im dealing with 16 000 files here :X It looks simple on the outside, but is a nightmare bellow the surface, and Im neck deep in it for a year or more. Every race has its own set of armor and clothing, than there are 2 genders, this gives you every item 8 times. Than add all the materials, colors and you in a hell.
It will never be perfect, but on the other hand, you can create really AWESOME characters with this system, it extended the possibilities of the vanilla at least 10 fold - yes, some combinations are not perfect, but there is so many options that you just need to find what suits the character - and believe me, you can make any character look awesome. Once you really play the game for a while, loot, buy etc, you will see...
I now try to solve the biggest issues... I was not able to replicate the issue with the leather greaves, can you pls send me the save file with it?
Also, my eyes and back and everything are getting really tired again, so Im affraid I will need some pause again :X
What I can say now is, that all female heads fit perfectly size/color wise, and that they are now all proper HD. Uff. I solved some other issues along the way...
