Here are some nodes you'll find in the file, and what they do.

CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals.lsx[edit | edit source]

Here is where you'll define all of the heads you want your race to use.
<node id="CharacterCreationAppearanceVisual">
    <attribute id="BodyShape" type="uint8" value="0"/>
    <attribute id="BodyType" type="uint8" value="0"/>
    <attribute id="DefaultSkinColor" type="guid" value="fbfbdac7-b88b-840d-2601-e37aa45663ae"/>
    <attribute id="DisplayName" type="TranslatedString" handle="DISPLAYHANDLEHERE" version="3"/>
    <attribute id="RaceUUID" type="guid" value="RACEUUIDHERE"/>
    <attribute id="SlotName" type="FixedString" value="Head"/>
    <attribute id="UUID" type="guid" value="UNIQUEUUIDHERE"/>
    <attribute id="VisualResource" type="guid" value="VISUALRESOURCEUUIDHERE"/>
</node>
