📋 About This Mod
Growing Pubic and Body Hair
Description
This mod uses overlays from Pubes Forever SSE (pubic) and Nordic Warmaiden Body Hair (pubic, ass crack, armpits,back) to simulate natural body hair growth. Pubic hair has 3 different styles available (PF, NWBH and NWBH curly) with additional trimmed styles available when using Pubes Forever. The mod will try to automatically match the body hair to your hair which will likely result in a passable but not great match. The colors of each area can be fine tuned by changing their colors in showracemenu in the bodypaint tab. The mod will keep that color value unless you disable the area, exit the MCM and enable it again.
You can shave your hair using a changeable shortcut (standard is N), with different length presses shaving more or less stages (1 stage, down to the first stage and clean). Shaving requires a free torso (i.e. slot 32, this can be disabled in the MCM) and that you have a dagger in your inventory.
The duration of a stage of each area of body hair can be changed independently (for example pubic hair from NWBH which has 9 stages may grow every 6 ingame hours, while back hair may grow every 24 hours etc). The mod updates every (configurable) 2 ingame hours and should thus cause no performance issues whatsoever.
Requirements
Racemenu is required. For pubic hair, either Pubes Forever SSE or Nordic Warmaiden Body Hair is required, for the other areas, Nordic Warmaiden Body Hair is required. If both PF and NWBH are installed, the used pubic style can be changed in the MCM. The plugins of Pubes Forever and Nordic Warmaiden Body Hair are not required, though this mod will automatically enable the features linked to these mods if it detects their plugins.
Compatibility
In principle, this mod is compatible with everything else. It looks for the first open overlay slots and uses them. since this mod can use up to 5 slots (it will only use as many slots as is the number of features you enable), you may want to increase the amount of body overlay slots from the standard 6. This can be done by changing the value of iNumOverlays= under and in the skee64.ini file in skse/plugins.
