📋 About This Mod

Wearing a hood shouldn't mean a character's hair disappears, right? This not-so-simple mod gives Serana matching hair from "Seranaholic and Valerica - Hair Physics Patch (KS Hairdos - HDT SMP)", replaces her hood so the hair fits

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Hood Plus Hair for HDT SMP Hair Physics Serana is an immersion-focused mod that gives Serana hair under her hood, using HDT-SMP physics. It requires Seranaholic 1.8 as a base, is ESL-flagged, and includes a fix for BOSSE compatibility. With 271 endorsements and 7,673 downloads, it's a niche but well-received addition for players who want consistent visuals.

✨ Key Features

Adds HDT-SMP hair (KSWigsCassyAA) to Serana, visible under her hood.
Modifies the hood item to show ears and prevents hair physics reset when equipping/removing hood.
ESL-flagged ESP that mimics Seranaholic records for hair color compatibility with AIO mods.
Includes FaceGenData integration to avoid baldness with BOSSE (with exemption).
Requires Seranaholic 1.8 or compatible AIO mod as a base.
Provides console command instructions for updating on existing saves.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 271 endorsements and 7,673 downloads.
  • Solves a real immersion issue: Serana's hair disappearing under hoods.
  • Includes a BOSSE compatibility fix, so you don't get a bald Serana.
  • ESL-flagged, so it won't eat your mod limit.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Seranaholic 1.8 as a hard dependency, so you can't use it standalone.
  • Not compatible with other Serana replacers—author explicitly says don't try it.
  • Potential save-game update hassle: you must use console commands to refresh Serana if upgrading mid-playthrough.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who use Seranaholic and want Serana to look consistent when she wears her hood, especially those who care about immersion details. If you're not using Seranaholic or prefer a different Serana replacer, skip this—it's built specifically for that base.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex to ensure Hood Plus Hair overwrites Seranaholic in the load order.
  • If you're using BOSSE, add Serana to its exemption list to prevent baldness.
  • On an existing save, after updating to v1.3+, open the console, click Serana, and run 'disable' then 'enable' to refresh her appearance.
