About this mod
Makes all cosmetic options available at the appropriate merchants.
Requires a new playthrough.
- Permissions and credits
Always found it annoying that you have to fish, dig, and otherwise seek out all the hairstyle and tattoo cards (sometimes more than once a playthrough, since the story changes your hair for you, at least twice.)
With this mod the Bowerstone Barber will sell all hair and beard styles, and the Knothole Glade and Snowspire Village Tattooists will both sell all tattoos.
Note: Changes only apply for merchants not yet encountered, since their inventory is baked into the savefile. Even entering and exiting their zone will result in this. Starting a new playthrough is recommended in order to avoid issues.
Also note: The Knothole Glade Tattooist can be missing when access to the town is granted at the conclusion of the White Balvarine quest. This is not a glitch introduced by this mod, but a known issue; at the conclusion of the White Balvarine quest, a random citizen of Knothole Glade dies (for some reason). Any regular citizen respawns (or is replaced, rather) after a few ingame days, but if one of the shopkeepers die, they are gone forever. For this reason it is always recommended to save before this quest.
