Sync Wig Hair Color

On game load, on save reload, and on equipping items. Works with vanilla or RaceMenu hair colors.



Notice the flash of the wig's original color before being replaced by the character's hair color.

After FIRST LOAD you may need to do one of: 
  • equip anything
  • load your saved game twice 
... to refresh your hair color.

After which it should be smooth sailing from there as the quest alias fills up with the player actor.

Requirements

Latest SKSE
Any color-customizable wigs (Most wigs support it, adding support to the ones that don't is pretty easy!)


Adding Hair Tint Support to Wigs
Most likely, you will not need to do this. The vast majority of wigs have support for this already.
Sometimes, however, wigs won't have the ability to be modified - but that's fine! Adding support is very easy.

Simply:
  • Open your Wig mesh in NifSkope and select the part you'd like to support hair color
  • There should be a BSLightingShaderProperty nested within that node tree
  • Change Skyrim Shader Type to Hair Color
  • Under Shader Flags 1 - ensure that Hair_Soft_Lightning is flagged on
  • Save and you're done!





Acknowledgments

Ashara's Princess of the Woods armor had an excellent script for updating wig colors, but it was more limited in terms of not handling first-load as well as equipping other wigs. It was also bundled with their (awesome) armor mod. This mod separates that logic, updates it to handle more convenient syncing events, and packages it in a self-contained mod.

All credits should go to Ashara.
