📋 About This Mod
Regarding HIMBO V4
This mod is meant for HIMBO V3. If you use this with HIMBO V4, it may have wrong alignment for the chest area.
So with the recent update for Highly Improved Male Body Overhaul allowing players to select bodyhair for their characters, this mod can be considered an add-on to this, allowing for more customisation.
It allows you to select the individual bodyhair overlays in RaceMenu, so you can decide how hairy you want each body part of your character to be. For example, you can have a very hairy chest but only a little bit of hair on your ass :P
This will NOT overwrite the level of body hair you select when installing Highly Improved Male Body Overhaul, it will only add to it, so make sure when installing the body you select the minimum level of hair you want in certain body parts, then you can select hairier choices in RaceMenu.
Kreiste kindly asked me to put this script together using his original textures, so all credit to him for the actual hard work.
Does not include pubic hair options- this is currently not a feature available in RaceMenu, and the options are all available when installing HIMBO anyway.
Includes Light, Medium and Heavy options for all overlays- except feet and armpit (these are a single overlay)
Body Paint overlays
Hands found in Hand Paint
Feet found in Feet Paint
Installation
Via mod manager of your choice
If manual then extract into your Skyrim data folder
Requirements
Highly Improved Male Body Overhaul
Any issues with RaceMenu- please check out the page and see if your solution is there. I cannot help with this.
Issues with the overlays, of course let me know and I will try and address them
Apparently you can add overlays to your followers using either Standalone EFF Cosmetic Menu or PROJECT PROTEUS depending on how you want to play. I'm not familiar with these myself but go check them out.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or Racemenu versions.
