📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have HDT-SMP installed and working, or the hair won't move properly.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the ESPFE easily.
  • Check your load order—ESPFE mods should be placed after other mods that modify the same records.
