LE Dynamic Hair/Beard Growth

[stuffmaniacle]

So this is a really big mod idea that I have. I'm learning Skyrim scripting but until then I'll just put my idea here in hopes that a talented developer sees it and wants to collaborate.

 

So, here we go.

The idea: Dynamic Beard/Hair Growth + Barber Shop.

 

Here's the pitch: The mod adds five stages of hair growth and five stages of beard growth. It would go a little something like this.

Stage 0: No hair. Completely bald/clean shaved.

Stage 1: A stubble. Just a little bit of hair, but not much.

Stage 2: A bit of hair. Barely down to the ears and a decent beard.

Stage 3: A full beard and hair down to the upper neck.

Stage 4: A full beard and a linked mustache. Hair down to the back.

 

Every 6-7 days in the game, the character will advance a stage and their hair would go accordingly.

This would be flourished with a barber that can be found in Whiterun or some other major city (perhaps out by the Whiterun stables). From there, you could purchase a cut, which will allow you to select a stage before the one you're currently on (for instance, if you had a stage 3 beard, you could get it cut back to stage 2 or earlier but not a stage 4). You would be able to shave your facial hair and your head separately. Another thing that could be added to the barber is the ability to purchase hair dye for a couple hundred septims a bottle. The dye could be in recolored potion bottles and, once used, would change the user's hair color to the color specified.

Another neat idea for the vendor is portable razors so you can shave when on an adventure.

 

Like I said, I'm asking for a lot here. But combined with Bathing in Skyrim, Pumping Iron, and all those other mods that dynamically let a character grow over time, I think that this mod would be a phenomenal mod and, when executed well, could add a lot of immersion to Skyrim.

 

Let me know what you think and contact me if you are experienced with making these kinds of mods.
