📋 About This Mod
Translated with www. DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Replace all NPCs (including NPCs from mods) with "KS Hairdos" hair, except Khajiit, Argonian, and children who refer to vanilla hair.
The replacement target can be selected from three options: "Full", "Female only", or "Male only".
This mod replacement applies to all mods that add NPCs with vanilla hair.
It also affects NPCs with Facegen whose hair names are disguised as vanilla hair.
Therefore, any changes made by mods that replace NPCs with vanilla hair without editing ESP (such as Botox for skyrim) will be disabled.
Mods that replace NPCs with vanilla hair are also basically incompatible and may cause NPCs to appear incorrectly.
The solution is described in the "How to Fix" section below, so please refer to it if you encounter the problem.
Since we have not directly modified the individual NPCs, there is basically no conflict with mods that edit the NPC's record.
It will only conflict with mods that alter vanilla records in the list at the bottom of the page.
If a replacement mod, such as Selana, modifies the record in the list at the bottom of the page
If you have a replacement mod such as Selana that modifies the records in the list at the bottom of the page, you should set the load order of this mod above the conflicting replacement mod and load it first.
If the "Face Discoloration Fix" is not installed, the face will turn black.
This is a version of "Buggy NPC Replacer - High Poly Head" that replaces only NPCs with vanilla hair to improve compatibility.
It only replaces the hair with that of "KS Hairdos" and does not convert the hair into a high poly head.
If you want to use this mod together with the "KS Hairdos" mod, please install it with only Khajiit and Argonian as the target of the high poly head conversion.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 432 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
- Works with mod-added NPCs, so it covers a wider range than vanilla-only replacers.
- Keeps beast races and children vanilla, which is a thoughtful touch for lore-friendliness.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires KS Hairdos as a dependency, so you need to install that first.
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or newer mods.
- Potential conflicts with other NPC overhaul mods that change hair or appearance.
For Skyrim players who want a unified, high-quality hair look across all NPCs without manually editing each one. If you're already using KS Hairdos and want a quick overhaul, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla hair or want more control over individual NPC appearances.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install KS Hairdos first, then this mod, and load it after other NPC overhauls to ensure it takes effect.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the file placement and avoid overwriting issues.
- Check the mod's compatibility with your Skyrim version (SE/AE) before installing, as it hasn't been updated since 2022.
