Faithful Faces - Vanilla Hair Remake SMP - Consistency Patches
I generated these faces using Creation Kit and used SMP-FaceGen-Tool to correct the generated facegen meshes so SMP physics work with Vanilla Hair Remake. All NPCs added by a mod are left in the original intended design except they will simply have Vanilla Hair Remake models with SMP physics.
These are FaceGen meshes and they do not take an ESP slot and are simply compatible out of the box without issue. As long as you load them after the mod you use them for. There are a few exceptions which did need a BSA file due to file size. I put that in a description behind the mod link.
Thanks to TaxEvasionMaster I got permission to make these patches with the Faithful Faces branding.
Detailed explanation:
If you use facegen files that are converted for SMP hair then the NPCs ingame will get the correct hair with no bugs. Physics will only happen if the original hair meshes are made for SMP. If those same hair models dont have SMP hair data your NPCs will still look fine even though they wont get physics. It depends on the hair model data. I dont know exactly how that works as I have not checked if there are extra files or not in the VHR folder structure, or if it is some data in the mesh itself.
Arthmoor Series:
Arthmoor Darkwater Crossing
Arthmoor Helarchen Creek
Arthmoor Keld-Nar
Arthmoor Kynsegrove
Arthmoor Oakwood
Arthmoor Rorikstead
Arthmoor Shor's Stone
Arthmoor Telengard
Cutting Room Floor
Alternate Start
I packed the Arthmoor Series in a FoMod. So you can either go for an AIO approach or choose them seperately.
Schlitzohr Towns:
Schlitzohr Amber Guard
Schlitzohr Dunpar Wall
Schlitzohr Granite Hill
Schiltzohr Granitehall
Schlitzohr Greymoor
Schlitzohr Iggath
Schlitzohr Lainalten
Schlitzohr Laintar Dale
Schlitzohr Neugrad
Schlitzohr New Weynon
Schlitzohr Oakwood
Schlitzohr Reich Corigate
Schlitzohr Riverwood
Schlitzohr Stonehills
Schlitzohr Sunthgat
Schlitzohr Vernim Wood
I packed Schlitzohr Towns in a FoMod. Amol not included as it was not necessary.
Environs:
Abandoned Abodes
Greenwood Shack
Riften Warehouse
Shrines of Talos
Tundra Farmhouse
Whiterun Watchtower
I packed it all in a FoMod. Pick the AIO approach or the sepperate approach. Any Environs mod not included means there were no new NPCs to generate.
Other mods:
A Cat's Life
JK's Solitude Outskirts
