📋 About This Mod
Chooey's KS Hairdos and Vanilla Hair Retexture
For the KS Hairdo's Retexture:
I have been using ShinglesCat's KS Hairdos retexture for years but I wanted to have something less rough and gritty. The default KS Hairdos textures were okay but some of them had intense toning. So I made this mod as an in-between with those two mods.
KS Hairdo Retexture Features:
✧ Covers 930 different hair textures from KS Hairdos - with a custom painted texture.
✧ Updated up to the 1. 1. 0 version of KS Hairdos.
✧ Vanilla-Match and Grayscaled texture options available.
✧ You can uninstall this mod at any time and updates will not break your modlist.
✧ There is an optional file for KS Hairdos - HDT SMP (Physics) if you use that mod.
For the Vanilla Hair Retexture:
I also retextured the vanilla hair using the newly drawn base that I use for my KS Hairdo Retexture. I blended it with a little of the base vanilla textures so keep that same feeling but introducing that clean smoothing.
I tested my retexture with Vanilla Hair Remake, good mod check it out.
Vanilla Hair Retexture Features:
✧ You can uninstall this mod at any time and updates will not break your modlist.
!! ATTENTION !!
✧ This mod is by no means perfect, so some hairs may not look right at first (I had to go through 930 different textures). If you find a problematic hair, leave a comment with which hair you were using and I will fix it.
Requirements:
✧ KS Hairdos SSE - any version or KS Hairdos Lite SE - any version
Installation steps:
1. Install KS Hairdos SSE
2. Install this mod (KS Hairdo Retexture or Vanilla Hair Retexture)
3. That's it
F. A. Q:
Q: This mod makes one of the hairs I use look weird!
A: Leave a comment with the hair you are using and I will update it.
