KSHair for Flower Girls

Overview

This mod is a patch for Flower Girls SE. This mod gives KS Hairdos to the six Flower Girls, and also changes their facial appearance slightly to look more attractive.

Version 2. 0 of this mod is now standalone, meaning that it includes copies of the hair textures from KS Hairdos SSE that it uses. This mod is not dependent on KS Hairdos SSE, and you can use this mod with or without KS Hairdos SSE being installed in your game. If you like the hairstyles, please go endorse KS Hairdos SSE.

Upgrading to Version 2. 0

Version 2. 0 of this mod no longer has a .esp file, only meshes and textures. This is a big benefit, because this mod no longer takes a .esp slot in your load order, in case you are near the limit. Also, there's no need to worry about a merged .esp file that becomes outdated when a new version of Flower Girls is released.

When you upgrade to version 2. 0 of this mod, please be sure to deactivate and stop using the old "FlowerGirls SE - KSHair.esp". The Flower Girls NPCs will have the dark head problem if you accidentally leave the old "FlowerGirls SE - KSHair.esp" activated.

Compatibility

Version 2. 0 of this mod is compatible with Flower Girls SE versions 1.x and 2.x. Flower Girls SE 1.x uses a .esp file, while Flower Girls SE 2.x uses a .esm file. Version 2. 0 of this mod includes the NPC head meshes and face tint textures in both directory paths, to work with either the old or new versions of Flower Girls SE.

Technical Details

The game engine expects an NPC's headparts specified in the .esm/.esp file to match the headpart names in the NPC head mesh .nif file. The NPC will have the dark head problem if the headparts are mismatched between those two sources.

In version 2. 0 of this mod, the headpart names in the NPC head mesh .nif files were manually edited to match the headpart names specified in the parent mod's "FlowerGirls SE.esp" file. This provides two benefits:

• [] This mod no longer needs its own .esp file, because the headpart names in the NPC head mesh .nif files match the headpart names specified in the parent mod's "FlowerGirls SE.esp" file.

  [] This mod no longer depends on the headpart definitions in the "KS Hairdo's.esp" file.

  Then the remaining dependency on KS Hairdos SSE was eliminated by including copies of the hairstyle texture .dds files that are used in this mod. The hairstyle texture .dds files are located in their own directory name, specific to this mod, to avoid conflicts with any other mods such as KS Hairdos SSE
