📋 About This Mod
When I saw the release of the mods Sassy Salt and Wind Hair Retexture and Dynamic NPC Hairstyles, I decided to reinstall Vanilla hair remake to style my own vanilla-plus NPCs. The SMP ver's physics behavior performs excellently indoors, and since it doesn't involve any collision detection, it has very low CPU performance cost. However, I felt that it also made the hair flutter too intensely in the wind. So, I tried learning about SMP to modify the XML files—increasing the hair’s weight and making some other adjustments.
Installation:
Place my mod below Vanilla Hair Remake to overwrite it.
Additional note:
If your FSMP version is still at 2. 5, then I recommend using SMP Wind and adjusting your preferred parameters in the MCM menu if you want to enhance, reduce, or add more variation to the hair and clothing physics——even if you don’t plan to use my mod.
当看到 Sassy Salt and Wind Hair Retexture 和 Dynamic NPC Hairstyles 这两个MOD发布的时候,我决定重新装回 Vanilla hair remake 来打造我的原版+NPC们。原MOD的SMP版的物理表现在室内的效果很好,且不涉及到任何碰撞因此对cpu的性能消耗很低。但我觉得它在风中飘动的太厉害了,于是我试着学习SMP知识去修改xml文件来增加头发的重量,以及做一点其它调整。
将我的MOD放在Vanilla hair remake的下面去覆盖它。
补充:
如果你的fsmp版本仍然在2. 5, 那么我推荐 SMP Wind 并在MCM菜单中调整你喜欢的参数,如果你希望NPC的头发和衣服的飘动效果需要增强/减弱/有更多变化的话。即使你不打算装我的MOD。
Now add support to jg1‘s other SMP hairs (in optional files):

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 913 endorsements and 312k downloads — clearly fills a need.
- Makes hair physics feel more grounded, which is a common complaint with SMP hair.
- Works with both Vanilla Hair Remake and jg1's other SMP hairs, so it's versatile.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated October 2025 — may not be compatible with future Skyrim updates or newer SMP versions.
- Only affects hair weight, so if you're looking for other physics tweaks, this won't help.
For Skyrim players who use Vanilla Hair Remake SMP or jg1's SMP hairs and find the hair too floaty in wind. If you want more realistic hair physics without overhauling your whole setup, this is a quick fix. Skip if you don't use SMP hair or prefer more dramatic physics changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Vanilla Hair Remake SMP mod installed first, as this tweak modifies its behavior.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, you can install this mod directly and let it overwrite the original files.
- Test in a windy area like the tundra near Whiterun to see the difference in hair movement.
