Grand Hair Compilation

[Myst42]

Hi everyone

 

I want to make a compilation of hairs including some of the best hair mods in here, the mair reason... compatibility and saving some space (not all of the hair mods are compatible with each other and some of them are often repeated in some races and stuff...

By the way i want to learn but im really a newbie so i know very little of modding, though i know how to create a .esp file to add some hairsyles, buy not compatible with other ones.

 

I resumed my favourite hair mods into this: Rens, Soyas, Moonshadow Elves, Corean, Saram and SKS Rens (not linkable)

 

But i also like having a few custom races such as Mystic Elves, Lineage II Elves, Sirens, Tabaxi and Xenius Race Compilation

 

Rens hair pack comes with mystic elves so i first tought of using that esp file to merge all of the hairstyles in one but i have no idea how to edit that file (the CS just seems to create new .esp files, not edit existing ones)

So the first question is how do i start? can i edit that one or do i have to create a new one? OR how can i make a hair file compatible with another?

 

Other stuff i would like to know is how can i make all those races use the existing hair mods and not their own ones cause there repeated (first instalation i ended up with at least 4 versions of Rens hair in different folders)

 

Any help please?

Actually i think i found what was wrong with editing the esxisting one, set is as the active file and it worked...

 

So if i manage to do this i still look for the answer for the second question: how to make custom races to use the existing hair instead of their own one which is duplicated

thanks but i was thinkinng in something different

 

I would want ideally to have the compilation for normal races AND all the esp from custom ones, the tutorial shows how to merge a custom race into the compilation

 

I created a file merging all hairs in one for normal races so i first wanted custom races with no special hairs (so i can apply them with face exchange) and then adding my own directions

 

so how does one alter the custom race file into not using the special hairs initially? i tried deleting special hairs from the race file, but the saved one kinda overwrites my compilation, so nothing except normal hair appears on normal races

 

i notices that when installing lineage II elves it puts the .esp file in data and it doesnt overrite the compilation, its only AFTER edition that it does, so how do i change it without overwriting the compilation?
