About
If you're already familiar with Shadowheart's Nightly Hairdo and Tav's Nightly Hairdo, this mod brings the same functionalities but for Minthara.
In case you haven't used them, this mod dynamically switches Minthara's hairstyle during long rests, restoring her original look by morning. Fully configurable through MCM; choose her evening and morning styles from any compatible hair mods installed.
Furthemore, I have also overhauled her appearance while keeping it close to her original design (yes proper matching boots as well!). The baked-in dirt, blood and sweat from her character visual was removed as well. You will need to use soap to remove those if installed mid-playthrough, however.
How to use
-
[]Simply open the MCM menu and select your preferred hairstyle from the dropdown or enter a hairstyle UUID if preferred.[/]
[]Allows you to edit the hair colour as well as highlights and greyings. [/]
[]Apply changes directly via the MCM menu buttons, no need to enter Character Creation or reload.[/]
[]Has presets that can be imported/exported.[/]
[]Extensions will always be restored in the morning. If you want to remove them at night, uncheck 'Keep Extensions' in MCM.[/]
[]Works in Photo Mode.[/]
[]The hair catalog is built from every hairstyle installed, this means all vanilla ones (even NPC's) and mods like Lynia's Orin makeover.[/]
Installation
Requires Script Extender, Mod Configuration Menu , SanS
