📋 About This Mod
I've been moaning about the lack of beards for dwarves since the Early Access and while i've made myself some beard
mods so I could make my dwarf Tavs look like i wanted, the npcs were still not hairy enough to my liking :')
if you don't like x or y npc having this or that beard just.don't.use.this.mod. im not changing anything just because you asked ⚠️
since I've updated all my beard mods I felt like it was finally time for me to give those new beards to npcs, so this mod does just that:
Every dwarf i could find in the game files was given a beard ( yes even the ladies, although i went with a "hobbit movie concept art" look for them, giving them some sideburns styles instead of the long, full beards ) I'm guessing i've probably missed some, and the "crowd" models are still beardless since i couldn't find a way to add the beard slot to them for some reason,( I also left most "corpses" models as they were) but most should now be wayyy hairier than in vanilla ☺️
REQUIRES my beard mods + the hairnet pack mod.
