📋 About This Mod

^ The glowing red version was used in the screenshots.

CAN I USE THIS ON CONSOLES?

The only major console that allows these kinds of mods is Xbox One. Yes.

This one may not need new textures, but it does need new models. So, PS4 is out.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 188 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
  • Fixes a real immersion gap—Serana's bald head under hood was jarring.
  • ESL-flagged means it won't eat your mod slot limit.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only works with High Poly Vanilla Hair's specific Serana hair—other replacers will cause hair changes when toggling hood.
  • Requires High Poly Vanilla Hair as a dependency, so you're locked into that hair mod.
  • Compatibility risk with other Serana replacers that use different hair models.
🎯 Is This For You?

📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use Vortex or another mod manager to handle load order—place this after High Poly Vanilla Hair.
  • If you use other Serana replacers, make sure they use the same hair as High Poly Vanilla Hair, or her hair will change when adding/removing the hood.
  • For Xbox One, this works, but PS4 is out due to model requirements.
