📋 About This Mod
Title is self explaintory.
mashanen's lovely vanilla salt and wind textures are sadly in a preset blonde color. Which means white hair now looks like light blonde and any unnatural hair colors are not accurate in shade and tone.
They also sadly recommended a hair retexture that doesn't even work on vanilla hair instead of taking 30 minutes to add and upload a grayscale option.
So I did it myself.
THIS DOES REQUIRE THE ORIGINAL SALT AND WIND TEXTURE MOD!
Even though their permissions are pretty much 99% open. I did not include the _n.dds or snowelf hair textures cause i felt it wasn't needed as they dont really need to be grayscale, and lets be honest the playable snow elf races probably don't use that very specific snow elf hair texture.
IDK if this works for LE I don't play that anymore so I'm not sure if the dds format is backwards compatible.
