- Notes for v2. 1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2. 1 fixes major graphical errors that should not have been present. This was because of textures in the hairline folder of KS hairmod being mishandled.
This update removes odd dark patches on necks and outlines of ribbons, and also retools around 30 hairstyles that I have re-painted for both men and women.
Because I have to go back and repaint hundreds of files, it will take time to fix all styles with minor issues (mainly faint outlines around individual hairstrands) . If there are any specific styles that you miss, please make a post about it on the relevant discussion thread.
Make sure that you have the latest version installed before you file your complaint. It is your responsibility to make sure you are not filing a report on things that are already fixed. Thanks. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plausibly Asked Questions:
Q: I run Skyrim on a calculator. Can I run these textures?
A: These replacements are the same size/resolution as the original mod. So if you can run that, you can run these.
Q: Can I use this in Skyrim Enhanced Edition? A: That is up to Kalilies and wheter or not he/she ports KS Hairdos Renewal. My mod is literally pictures in a zip-file, and should work fine once the original mod is ported over.
Q: How do I make my hair look like your pictures? A: This texture looks great with light, washed out tones. Deep dark is still possible, but you lose a lot of definition. For the best result, try to go as color-faded as possible, and keep the light-adjustment fairly high (1/5-1/4). Q: Is this compatible with HTD-versions of KS Hairdos?
A: It should be, as it is simply a texture replacer. [/colo
