📋 About This Mod

This adds KS Hairs to Hawke's companions while using Ellise's face textures. I made a combined file as I love the HR details of Ellise's companion morphs but yet wanted to update our beloved friends’ hairdos with lore-friendly styles.

If you like this mod, be sure to check out my KS Hairs for Elven NPCs! Also, Kirkwall Barber Shop - KS Hairs for NPCs & KS Hairs Addon for A Farewell to Clones by anshela will add KS Hairs to human NPCs & clones, respectively.

Feel free to change their hairs in between Acts! Having different hairstyles for 7 years felt moreso immersive to me, so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Requirements:

KS Hairs Main File & Elven Edition (Elven Edition is required for Fenris & Merrill)

Ellise's Unique Face Textures for Companions

(Each file will have specific download instructions. Make sure to read the description section carefully. If using my Blue Wraith mod, you won’t need the Fenris files from Ellise.)

Installation:

1. Make sure you have the two required files from above^ in your override already. Once you have unzipped my mod, drag & drop the ENTIRE FOLDER (zz_companionsELL4k & KSHair) into override.

2. In the "zz_companionsELL4k & KSHair" mod folder, you will notice a collection of morphs. Delete the ones you do not desire.

3. Please note: that I have set Fenris' default hair morph as Faux. Should you wish to use another hair file for him instead of Faux, just delete his primary morph file (em_fenris.mor) & rename the desired file accordingly (i.e. em_fenrisDJINN.mor to em_fenris.mor if you want him to use Djinn). I had a good idea of what I wanted the other companion's look & feel to be. But with Fenris it was a bit harder & therefore, I have multiple files as a result of experimentation.

4. Additional hair files for Default Family, Aveline, Sebastian, Anders, Fenris, & Merrill available in optional downloads. Drag & drop into main folder. Click overwrite when prompted.

Compatibility: Incompatible with any other morphs for the companion file(s) you have chosen.
