Update 2024.04.05

Added "Gothvaari" and "Gothzerai Remix" hairs
Improved fits of Gothzerai and Gothyanki for normie body heights (should be less floaty now)
Added compatibility for upcoming new Gith race



⫸ About:

Some standalone hair mashups mostly from goblin, gith, and undercut Tav hairs.

All are autosnapping, meaning they can be used by every race and body type as they will more-or-less conform to each head. Which is cool especially for the short races, gith, stronk, and horc characters. The tradeoff is that sometimes they will not be absolutely perfectly fitting for everyone, but it's acceptable.

Will also work on the following custom races:

...if you would like compatibility added just ask away



⫸ What it adds:

  • * NEW * Gothvaari:    Undercut short hair with fringe.
  • * NEW * Gothzerai Remix:    Tighter, more minimal version of the Gothzerai.

  • Vosshawk:    Mashup of Voss' hair and the Gobbohawk.
  • Sharp-eye Tav:    Edited Sharp-eye Mirg's hair, with added highlights (beads can look a bit crunchy on some heads, I couldn't fix).
  • The Sazza:    Sazza's hair, made a bit less thin and added functional highlights.
  • The Sazza alt:    Alternative version with clean shaven side.
  • Gobbohawk:   Goblin Raider/Tracker hair, made shoulder length and also has functional highlights.

  • The Gothyanki:    Goblin kid 3's hair.
  • The Gothzerai:    Undercut goblin kid 3's hair.


⬥ Make sure your Animation Level of Detail is set to High or these will probably float due to not having LODs ⬥

⫸ Notes / Issues:

  • The Lae'zelhawk works best on gith/hum/elf BT1/2. Has some minor clipping and physics issues on the tall and smol folks. WIP.
  • The Gothyanki/-zerai hairs were a bit weird to autosnap: if you look very closely they are a bit offset from the scalp. My attempts to fix just completely break the hair. IMO it's fine, some fits are better than others. These do seem to work best on the short races though. Update: 1.0.8 I made separate a separate refit to better fit the talls.
  • The goblin hairs may have some thinning or patchy highlights depending on color/lighting. I tried to fix as best I could as the vanilla version were honestly kind of rough to begin with. Maybe will improve it later.
  • Due to these being autosnapping, there will be some minor areas where (depending on body type/race) the fit is not perfect. Oftentimes at the nape of the neck, either clips a bit into the neck or stands out a small amount. With stronk heads they can also look relatively less "big" when compared to smaller heads. As said above, this is the tradeoff of having hairs available to everyone without having to make like 8 different manual refits for each hair.
