📋 About This Mod
v2. 5 Update
GvqjW7myqgo
Installation:
1. Download the main file from the files section of this page. Install with either the Nexus Mod Manager, or manually.
2. Nexus mod manager install: After downloading, enable the mod in the mod manager. Check that the mod is enabled in "Users\\AppData\Local\Fallout4\Plugins.txt". You should see *AzarPonytailHairstyles.esp in the list.
3. Manual install: Copy the contents of the zip to your "Fallout 4\data" directory. Open this fie: "Users\\AppData\Local\Fallout4\Plugins.txt". Add the following and save:
AzarPonytailHairstyles.esp
4. Open this file: "Users\\Documents\my games\Fallout4\Fallout4Custom.ini". Add the following and save:
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
This can also be added to your Fallout4.ini instead of Fallout4Custom.ini.
5. In the game, open the console with the tilde key. Type "slm player 1". Select the face, then the hair, then your desired hairstyle (i.e. Azar Ponytail 1). Exit out of the menu and you're done. You can also go to a barbershop to choose your hairstyle.
Known Issues:
- As of Fallout 4 patch 1. 5, archive invalidation isn't working. You will need to revert back to the old way of enablinig mods. See step 4 in the installation section. Interface mods may also cause crashes. If that's the case, remove /INTERFACE from the sResourceDataDirsFinal line in the ini file.
- The physics for the longer ponytails will occasionally glitch out and jump around. This is due to the rig I'm working from, which isn't suited for the longer hairstyles. I will address this in the future.
- The hairstyles were not designed for males, but can be used on them. You may experience clipping or other issues.
- If your game crashes or you are getting missing hairs, uninstall the mod and reinstall. Set the load order of the ESP to the very last, run the game, go to an empty interior, unequip all of your character's items, and try "slm player 1" again.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community approval (147k endorsements) — this is one of the most trusted hair mods out there.
- 7.1 million downloads means it's been battle-tested by tons of players, so compatibility is likely solid.
- Standalone hairstyles mean no conflicts with other hair mods — just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds ponytail styles — if you want buns, braids, or short cuts, this won't cover them.
- No screenshots or detailed descriptions provided, so you're flying blind on what the styles actually look like.
- Last updated in April 2024 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
For Skyrim players who want a quick, safe way to add more ponytail options to their character creation. Perfect for roleplayers who love ponytails but don't want to mess with complex hair physics or overhauls. Skip if you're looking for a complete hair pack with varied styles.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install — it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- Check the in-game race menu (showracemenu) to see the new hairstyles — they'll be listed alongside vanilla options.
- If you're using other hair mods, this one is standalone, so you shouldn't have conflicts, but always load it after any hair texture overhauls.
