Hello,

Lets start:
1) Open MWS
2) File->Open MPQ Archive->common.mpq (the common.mpq is in your WOWFOLDER/DATA )
3) Check All file(*.*) is selected http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/391/1tg3.png
4) Create a new folder, save it as CHARACTER (note caps). I created mine on my desktop. http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/627/2lh3.png
5) Look for the race you want to change in. Mine is SCOURGE/MALE. Extract the file (desktop prefered). http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/117/3uz7.png
6) Ok, now rename the extracted m2 file in YOUR race. Mine is Scourge Female, so i rename the file to ScourgeFemale.m2
7) Open your CHARACTER folder (that one on your Desktop). Create a subfolder of YOUR race. Insider that create
a new folde of YOUR sex.Now drag the m2 file inside your Sex folder. http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4628/4za8.png
