[LE] How to use Creation Kit to Replace Default Hairs?

[Thekittymixy]

I want to replace the default hairs from ones that are from mods, like SG hair or KS hair. How would I do that ? I also use Mod Organizer. I am also new to modding so step by step would be helpful. lol

there is a part that describes how to use custom hair on custom followers. You can do that for every npc with the creation kit. It's a ton of work. I think it's not possible to just overwrite the meshes and textures of the vanilla hair with custom hair because this will result in the dark face bug and other problems. Look at this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36510/?

Extract the files and load the esp in ck and look how they have done it.

 

If you are new to modding you should first learn the basics how to work with the ck: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Tutorials

Thanks. I managaed to use the creation kit to repace default hairs by changing the nif and tri locations, but i noticed it ooly affects the player character. ALso, in order for it to show on npcs, you have to export all of their face gen which takes a longgg ass time. lol

@Thekittymixy sounds awesome, I've been thinking about doing this exactly but dont know how. I have some ck experience( modifying various npcs to use other hairstyles for instance/generating facegen etc) but i'm not 100% on how to do what your describing. Could you sorta outline what you did ? Thanks in advance :)
