📋 About This Mod
Adds facial hair you can customize during character creation or with the "Razor" item. Very simple mod. Boxow already has facial hair, and recognizes others may feel left out. So he helps.
Description
Boxow already has Facial Hair, and wants to share this ability with those who want it. At "Jensine's 'Good as New' Merchandise", you will find a Razor that when used allows you to customize the newly added facial hair. You can select your Facial Hair during character creation too! Boxow already has facial hair, but his wizard friend did not, and so he has made this mod for them, yes?
Installation instructions
Install like any other .esp file.
Install the textures/models into the textures/models folder. Boxow highly recommends using a Mod Manager for this. Boxow uses MO2.
If using NothernUI (not NothernUIAway) go into the ini and enable the option for correct button styling there.
Main features
- Use the "Razor" to change the new Facial Hair.
- The Razor can be bought at "Jensine's 'Good as New' Merchandise", and is added via script so as not to conflict with other mods.
- Select Facial Hair during Character Creation. Press X/Square to open the menu with controller. (Feature is enabled by default, but can be disabled in the ini)
- Six different Facial Hairs can be selected (including Clean Shaven), in Five different colors.
- Does NOT add Facial Hair to NPCs, this only lets the player customize their own.
- If the ini option is enabled, a Sack containing the Razor will appear outside of the imperial sewers for quick access. It also respawns, useful if you lose things like Boxow does (check pictures for exact location).
- Facial Hair equips to the "Tail Slot" so does not conflict with armor. Is not usable by Argonians or Khajiit by default as the tail disappears, but one can allow this with a setting in the ini file.
- Facial Hair is not removed when items are removed from your inventory (such as jail).
- Does not show any sort of "Facial Hair Item" in the inventory, Boxow likes a clean inventory.
- The only item added is the Razor itself, and if it is ignored, this mod does nothing. The Razor can be dropped any time.
Known Issues
- If another mod uses the tail slot, such as capes, then the Razor cannot be used as Beards also occupy the tail slot. If one wishes to use the Razor, one must first remove the item in the tail slot, yes?
- If Facial Hair is equipped with a helmet there can be some clipping. Boxow has added a new filtering feature to help with this! If Boxow missed any vanilla helmets let him know and he will add them to the filter.
- Using the Razor will display a "Cant Equip" message, if you dislike this Boxow has made No Cant Equip to he
