📋 About This Mod

For a character that wears a hood about 50% of the time outdoors, that one better have hair under the hood.  +Immersion

PHYSICS OPTION BUG:

There is a know bug that the hair will be doubled if you choose a SMP option. It is being looked at. In the mean time you can choose a no physics option if it bothers you. 2. 0a should fix the double-hair physics bug.

A NOTE ON BLACK HAIR:

Black hair only requires one of the main files from Serana Re-Imagined: SE or ESL.

A NOTE ON BLOODWINE HAIR:

BloodWine hair, just like Black hair, only requires one of the main files from Serana Re-Imagined: SE or ESL.

It is my own custom haircolor I first used as an option in the Vanilla Dawnguard mod. It is a more dark and supernatural (wait for it) blood inspired color suitable for a vampire and each paleness option for that main uses it. Serana's vampirisim is so powerful apparently that even when cured she still has that blood-infused hair color.

A NOTE ON RED HAIR:

Red Hair requires two files from Serana Re-Imagined:

1) A Serana Re-Imagined main file: SE or ESL

2) Only one of the Serana Red Hair Option files at a time: Vamp, LessPaleLessMakeup, or Cured

All files must have the same choice or the skin color of the head and body will be different. Bet on a worse outcome.

LOAD ORDER:

Load this after "Serana Re-Imagined SE/ESL". This mod MUST overwrite any files from Serana Re-Imagined.

Black Hair: Serana Re-Imagined main --> then --> HPH for SRI Black Hair

BloodWine Hair: Serana Re-Imagined main --> then --> HPH for SRI BloodWine Hair

Red Hair: Serana Re-Imagined main --> then --> SRI Red Hair optional file --> then --> HPH for SRI Red Hair

Use a mod manager like Vortex.

ESL VS NON-ESL:

The file you installed from Serana Re-Imagined as of v1. 3 should not matter. The only difference should be the ESP and it must be overwrote by this mod. This mod has only ESL flagged ESP files. Sorry for the convenience.

WHAT ARE ALL THESE OPTIONS?

Serana Re-Imagined (SRI) has three total possible paleness and makeup options. Originally, they were in separate downloads. Froztee plans to use a FOMOD installer for a coming update that brings those options together. I imagine there will be a FOMOD installer for each body type: CBBE 3BBB and BHUNP.

What I call "Re-Imagined Vamp Paleness" is original paleness and makeup from SRI. "Less Pale" goes
