📋 About This Mod

Minor improvements to certain existing hairstyles for both male and females.

Also includes 12  16 new hairstyles.

Updated for SDV ver 1. 4 and now compatible with CP. Special thanks to Alvadea for converting the mod!

Hairstyles were made more full and consistent with other views. Some of the original hairstyles are very flat and small in proportion to the head so I decided to make some edits. Hope you like them :)

Will add more edits in the future! Very soon.

I do take requests and suggestions! Also working on more NEW hairstyle ideas.

12 New Hairstyles:

These hairs are packaged with the rest of the improved hairstyles.

Some of the outfits above were edited by me and are not available in the game.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your mod folder or use your mod manager's install feature.

  • If you're using other hair mods, load order might matter; put this one after to ensure its styles appear.
