How the character creator works

Dragon Age character creator looks for the sources (skintones, eye colours, hairs, tresses colours, etc) in a xml called chargenmorphcfg.xml. The character creator will show you only the sources which can be listed in that xml file.

But, when there is multiple chargenmorphcfg.xml file inside Dragon Age override folder, the game don't understand what type is the right someone to be applied together with character creator won't work properly. That's the reason why, whenever installing more than one aesthetic mod, you're going to have to add the sources the newest mod increases the listings inside chargenmorphcfg.xml file which inside override folder.
