Hair Studio - Custom Hair Options for Aloy

Ladies and Gentleman, this is going to be a fun one! Before we get this show going I would like to start with my usual opening

Important Notice:

I guarantee something at some point will appear wonky. I really recommend backing up your game and/or save files just in case so you don't lose any progress.

Instructions for backing up your game or saves on:

Steam:  https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4593-5CB7-DC3C-64F0

GoG:  https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/18730324957213-How-do-I-back-up-my-cloud-saves?product=gog

Epic: https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-games-store/services/cloud-save

We are learning every day still so expect to see changes and updates in the days to come.

Special thanks!

id_daemon who created the modding tools to make this possible.  If it wasn't for their willingness to provide tips, offer guidance, and display saintly levels of patience while I'm breaking things this doesn't get done.

KingJulz for creating a mod manager which should allow for users to run multiple mods. (Caveats on this will be pinned in the comments)

Tip of the cap to Shadlessfox for Odradek and answering my never ending stream of questions. The info and knowledge you shared helped me to understand the Decima environment in general.

Hopefully you read all that because it is important!  If not here is your chance to go back and do so.  Ok all caught up?

Great now on to the good stuff!

Instead of just porting over my mod from HZD I wanted to provide you all with true options rather than just a single hair style mod.  I'm rather proud of how it all turned out and now I present to you:

The Braid

The Beta

The Roll

Installation Instructions:

Using the Mod Manager

[]Back up your game and/or game saves (especially if you are installing mid playthrough)[/]

[]If you are new to modding HFW make a back up copy of your streaming_graph.core & the streaming_links.stream files located in your game directory example for steam:

"E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition\LocalCacheWinGame\package\streaming_graph.core"

"E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition\LocalCacheWinGame\package\streaming_links.stream"[/]

[]Place the copies somewhere safe as you may need this again later so you wont have to verify your files later.[/]

[*]If you had another mod previously installed restore the streaming_graph &a
