📋 About This Mod

Hello! I threw these together a few months ago and realized there aren't any public retextures of certain mods out there yet, so I thought it couldn't hurt to share what I've done for others to use! I may add more, but for now, this is all I have to offer. If I couldn't find the corresponding textures for certain hairstyle packs, such as HG Hairdos or HG Hairdos 2, then those will remain true to their original texture.
