📋 About This Mod

Modded Hair in DLCS

What this mod does

For frosty or dai mod manager. This mod makes modded hairstyles show up in the black emporium, trespasser, Jaws of Hakkon, or the Descent instead of reverting back to the unmodded style as many do. It also works on beards.

sphleah also told me that my mod was able to stop daimod face textures from causing freezes in the DLCs if using DAIMM textures, even if you have complexions with edited shine. However, know that I have not added any fixes for .daimod file extension edits of Josephine's outfits, complexion, or hair, since her files don't work.

Daimod formalwear and dress textures should now also work at trespasser. Leliana's unhooded hair and Josie's hair will not work in trespasser due to their bundles, but Leliana's hooded hair should work (untested.) If I haven't mentioned a file as being fixed in the images, then assume this mod does not address that issue. Please refer to the images to a more in-depth explanation of what this mod may or may not fix.

This site can help you understand what the appearance of some base hairs named in the descent picture look like.

Additionally, the new hair texture slider file also adds a hair texture slider to the character creation, the 4th and last option on this slider allows you to preview hairs with custom textures in the character creation and the black emporium how you would expect them to look in-game, as not all hairs with custom textures do look as expected in CC normally. This is useful, if using frosty, when using mods like misc hairstyles for frosty or the misc files from Anto hairstyles for DAI.

The dai mod manager version of that slider file is more just to add some variety, as I don't think there are currently any dai mod manager hairs made in a way that would require the hair texture slider file to view the textures properly in CC, for texture fixes with DAIMM you'd probably want the DLC fix files instead.

That new file also adds the unused asset hair H to CC for elves, dwarves and humans, which is totally unique to the inquisitor, not used by any NPCS. The texture slider should work for every inquisitor type, though. On top of this, if you load the mod BELOW any frosty custom hair texture mods, it will stop them from causing the other inquisitors hairs that the hair texture is not intended for from looking not as expected.

Conflicts

The main DLC fixes are bundle edits and as such may conflict with any other bundle edits to the black emporium, trespasser, Jaws of Hakkon or the descent if you use those versions, usually mods that swap characters, hair, clothing, etc.

The standard version of the texture slider mod will not conflict with bundle edits, but it will conflict with mods that edit the inquisitor o

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use Frosty Mod Manager for newer mods; DA:I Mod Manager is older but still works for some.
  • When previewing custom hair textures, make sure your texture mod is loaded before this mod in the manager.
  • If you're using both managers, don't merge them—stick to one to avoid conflicts.
