📋 About This Mod
This mod provides KS Hairdos for all adult human, mer, and dremora NPCs added by Interesting NPCs SE (3DNPC). 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, Interesting NPCs SE (3DNPC).
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 KSHairFor3DNPC.esp. Because the game always loads ESP files after ESM-flagged files, this mod's KSHairFor3DNPC.esp will always be loaded after the file it depends on, 3DNPC.esp, which is ESM-flagged.
This mod's ESP file KSHairFor3DNPC.esp should be placed as high as possible in your load order. Place it higher in your load order (meaning lower priority) than any other mods that change the appearance of Interesting NPCs.
This mod should be thought of as the foundation for improving the appearance of Interesting NPCs, and then add other mods that change the appearance of specific Interesting NPCs such as the super-follower NPCs. Place other such mods lower in your load order (meaning higher priority).
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 Interesting NPCs SE (3DNPC).
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.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 694 endorsements.
- ESL-flagged so it won't eat your mod slots.
- No override records means it plays nice with other mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers adult NPCs from 3DNPC, not all NPCs.
- Last updated in 2020, so it might be behind on newer 3DNPC versions.
- Compatibility with other hair mods could be an issue if they also modify the same NPCs.
For Skyrim players who use Interesting NPCs and want more hair variety for those characters. If you're not using 3DNPC, this mod is useless. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Interesting NPCs SE installed before adding this mod.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keeping it near other hair mods is fine.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage this mod easily.
