Author's Comments:

Simple mod to port the Dawntrail vanilla female Hyur Midlander ears onto female Miqo'te. They replace female Miqo'te tails 1 through 4.

-These will have very subtle seams where the base of the ear meets the face. I did my best to use custom face normals data transfer to match them as well as I could. The seam is hardly visible in brighter lighting, and very slightly visible in dimmer lighting.

-To properly use this mod, you will most likely need two additional mods:
1. Any sculpt or head mod that removes the Miqo'te "ear flaps" (the fleshy pink inside of the ears, which are attached to the head model). This usually includes any teeth mods since they also affect the head. If you need to, removing the earflap manually can be done fairly easily in TexTools in the Edit Model menu by finding the mesh part that uses the Miqo'te Ears (atr_top) attribute and deleting ONLY that mesh part.
2. A hair mod intended for use with earless Miqo'te, since most vanilla fem Miqo hairs have both the furry part of the ear attached and a hole in the base of the hair where the ears are.

-These will also not work with vanilla earrings. Each earrings pair will likely have to be repositioned and reweighted in Blender to get them to fit properly. You can try using Customize+ to move the earring bone positions downwards and inwards, but this solution works best with static earrings like small cuffs and studs, as it will cause long dangly earrings to move strangely.

-Additionally, if you want the full "not a Miqo" effect, you may want to find a makeup/face texture mod that is "clanless," or does not have any Miqo'te-styled facial clan marks.

-This has been tested to work without gaps on Fem Miqo vanilla faces 1-4. It may work with sculpts if the general shape and size of the side of the face stays the same. It also works fine with both Seeker and Keeper skin tones, though the more blueish Keeper skin tones will have a more noticeable pink blush to them.

-There will very likely be clipping with some hairstyles while using these ears, because many fem Miqo hairstyles purposefully cover the sides of the face where Hyuran ears normally are to make the lack of them look less strange.

-A select few chestpieces, such as some Moonward tops, have a metadata flag set that hides tails, and therefore will hide these ears if they are equipped without any edits. This can be fixed by going into the chest gear's metadata, finding the visibility settings, and checking the BodyShowTail box.

(Apologies for not using a hair mod that clearly shows the seam on the preview. I promise it looks pretty clean. You would not believe how stupidly difficult it was to find an earless fem Miqo hair that did not obscure the sides of the face without clipping for a better preview. I swear I spent a few hours digging through this site to find one, with no luck. But if you like the hair used in the preview, you can find it here: https://xivmodarchive.com/modid/100558 )
