📋 About This Mod

     

〜Dynamic NPC Hairstyles〜

I love radiant story telling, I love when NPCs have a will of their own and I love when the world evolves as you play. These three concepts will go hand-in-hand as part of this mod.

Features:

  • []Some NPCs will change their hairstyle dynamically after time passes. Every new season means a possible new hairstyle.[/]

    []Hairstyles are chosen randomly from a selected pool of appropiate hairstyles.[/]

    []Some NPCs (bald NPCs) and certain hairstyles (crazy hairstyles like Mohawks, balding, etc.) are exempted from the system.[/]

    []If you have hair scissors in your inventory (from Dirt and Blood or this mod) and you're talking to a friendly NPC, you can ask the NPC if they'd like a new haircut.[/]

    []Mod is fully voiced with fun responses from the NPCs (Reused vanilla lines). [/]

    []Very light approach: Mod uses SPID and KID to hand out the spells and keywords necessary for the mod to function. Script runs only once at the beginning of the season.[/]

    []Easy to expand: the mod uses the amazing hairstyles from Vanilla Hair Remake to do its thing, but you can expand the selection of hairstyles by adding hairstyles to the right formlist.[/]

    []If you are NOT interested in the dynamic hairstyle aspect of the mod, the FOMOD will allow you to disable the random part of the mod, while keeping the other features, such as the dialogue to manually change a follower's hairstyle.[/]

Requirements:

  • []Spell Perk Item Distributor[/]

    []Keyword Item Distributor[/]

    []Hair Colour Sync[/]

    []Vanilla Hair Remake + Wigs File (Found in the Optional Files)[/]

    Recommended:

    • []Helmet Toggle 2 has just received a new update to be compatible with this mod (and it's an awesome mod by an awesome author). [/]

      []Mod allows you to decide if hair should be randomized per season or only once per game.[/]

      [*]Mod allows you to decide when the dialogue should show up. By default, it only shows up for friends and if you have a pair
