NPC hair modifier

[Heedicalking]

I would love to be able to edit other NPC's hair such as my companions' hair, but I do not know how. Can there be a mod made for this to edit an NPC's hair type?

i would actually love this! I dont have the mod skillz to just edit them, and i got a whole 'sisters of battle' theme going on with my companions and clover looks just plain wrong with her tatty hair.

You can edit there hair in the GECK, but i'm guessing you mean in - game, correct?

The best I can think of is to make a wig out of the hairs you like and give them to the people you want. I have never done this personally, but there is at least one wig mod on nexus right now. I don't know of a way to modify NPC's hair the "real" way, in-game.

There is no way to change NPC hair in game, but it can be done easily in GECK. You need to install a cosmetic mod that adds the hairs to the race entries, then you can open up your favorite NPC and change the hair, eyes, etc. That's what cosmetic mods are for.

 

I recommend Lings Coiffure as it allows you to select eyelashes as well.

 

If you want to distribute in-game, you will need to construct a wig. Orientation is critical and not intuitive for the wig to sit properly on the head. The vendor is xCalibr Munitions sports a wig you can use as a template. Just open the mesh for the wig, open the mesh for you desired hair and copy\paste over the Tristrip data. Default color is black but this can probably be modified using the immisive and specular color settings. Never done that myself so i am just speculating on the last part.

 

Good luck.
