📋 About This Mod
This mod provides KS Hairdos for all adult human and mer NPCs added by Immersive World Encounters. This mod does not affect children, Khajiit, or Argonians.
This mod also applies several other fixes to NPC head meshes - a similar set of fixes as Vanilla NPCs SSE Ruhmastered by Ruhadre.
Requirements
This mod has only one requirement, Immersive World Encounters.
This mod does not require KS Hairdos. This mod includes copies of all the textures from KS Hairdos that it uses.
Load Order Placement
This mod includes one ESL-flagged ESP file KSHairForIWE.esp, which should be listed in your load order immediately after Immersive Encounters.esp.
Compatibility
This mod is designed for maximum compatibility with your load order and with other mods.
This mod includes an ESL-flagged ESP file, for minimal impact on your load order slots.
The ESP file is empty, meaning it contains zero records. The ESP file only serves to load the corresponding BSA file, and to indicate that this mod depends on Immersive World Encounters.
This mod is compatible with KS Hairdos, but does not require KS Hairdos. This mod includes copies of all the textures from KS Hairdos that it uses, packaged into a BSA file.
This mod is compatible with any texture replacers for KS Hairdos, such as Salt and Wind - Rough Hair for KS Hairdos SE. This mod uses the same texture file paths as KS Hairdos, so any mod that replaces textures for KS Hairdos will also affect this mod.

KSHair for Immersive World Encounters gives adult human and mer NPCs added by Immersive World Encounters KS Hairdos hairstyles, plus head mesh fixes similar to Vanilla NPCs SSE Ruhmastered. It's a compatibility-focused mod with an ESL-flagged empty ESP and includes all needed textures, so no KS Hairdos dependency. Ideal for players using IWE who want visual variety without extra requirements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 312 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Zero-record ESL ESP means no load order slot waste and minimal conflict risk.
- Includes its own textures, so you don't need to install KS Hairdos separately.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects IWE-added NPCs, so if you don't use that mod, this does nothing.
- No support for Khajiit or Argonians, so beast races keep their vanilla looks.
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.
For Skyrim players who use Immersive World Encounters and want those NPCs to have better hair without adding KS Hairdos as a dependency. Also good for modders who appreciate clean, compatibility-first design. Skip if you don't use IWE or if you want hair for all NPCs, not just IWE's additions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place KSHairForIWE.esp immediately after Immersive Encounters.esp in your load order.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the BSA and ESP—no manual extraction needed.
- Since the ESP is ESL-flagged, it won't count against your 255 plugin limit.
