From the original modpage:
Your hair has been in a style suitable for the stressful world of the Dragonborn, but now it's time to relax. Let you hair down, relieve the stress, and enjoy a mead or two.
Let Your Hair Down allows you to set an 'Up' and "Down' hair style that can be toggled either with a hotkey or automatically when entering certain locations. Simple select your hairstyles via RaceMenu, assign the hair styles in the MCM, and that's it! Want more immersion, use the hair up and down effects for situational-specific buffs and debuffs!
*AUTOMATIC HAIR SWAPPING*
Expanded out a bit as of v3.0. You can decide if you want your hair to automatically swap when you enter town, and / or if you want it to swap when entering one of the locations in the formlist, listed here:
- PlayerHouse
- House
- Dwelling
- Steward's Dwelling
- Inn
- Store
- Temple
- Cities & Towns. Will toggle as soon as you enter a city or town (usually exterior) location.
*MANUAL HAIR SWAPPING*
- You can assign a hotkey to manually swap the hair when you want as well. It works together or separate from the automatic feature.
- If your hair isn't swapping, you can turn on the debug feature to figure out why. In most cases it'll tell you if you're not meeting a condition (i.e. you're wearing a helmet but your settings don't allow swapping with a helmet).
*EFFECTS: BUFFS / DEBUFFS*
- Can apply an effect when your hair is up, down, or both!
- Several options:
Combat Related: Improved with hair up, impaired with hair down.
- Weapon Combat: affects blocking, one-handed, two-handed, and marksman.
- Spell Combat: affects destruction, conjuration, alteration, and illusion.
- Sneak: affects... well, sneaking
Peace-Time Related: Improved with hair down, impaired with hair up.
- Crafting: affects alchemy, enchanting, and smithing
- Speachcraft: affects... well, speach
- I left pickpocket, lockpicking, restoration, and armors alone as their locations of use are subjective. Also I didn't want to touch every skill.
Regen:
- Regeneration of health, stamina, and magicka. Improved with hair down, impaired with hair up.
- Requiem tested and enjoyed. Crank the value to 10 to restore quickly with hair down and not at all when its up. Plan your battles well!
Other:
- Speed: Option to slow yourself down when your hair is down by a custom amount. Pair with the regen to force it in combat and have to plan how you recover. Yeah, frigg'n lov'n this right now.
- Damage / Magic Resistance decrease: in case you want a vulnerability / penalty for using your hair down in combat that isn't just slowing you down. Can set a minimum value to decrease if the percentage isn't to your liking or you have no armor to decrease from. How this works? If your armor is 300 and you decrease your damage resistance by 50%, then your armor will be 150 until you put your hair back up. Taking your armor off and moving it around is fine while the effect is in place. If you have no armor and set it to decrease 50 pts, then your armor will be -50 until you put your hair back up.
Saving:
- There's a general save feature that saves your settings for the main page and the hair effects page. I haven't done multiple profiles on this, but I don't think its necessary. This auto loads the save the first time the menu is opened so you don't have to do it for each character.
- You can save up to 10 hair styles in the hair menu. You can also name these profiles for quick reference.
Q&A + Known Issues:
- See the bottom of this page
ANIMATIONS:
Due to a lot of community suggestions, I've added some animations to putting your hair up and down. There's now an option (as of 1.7) where you can choose the Serana Hood animation, the Quick Feminine animation, or one at random. You need to download the appropriate animation. See below:
Serana Hood Animation by chikuwan:
Chikuwan has some awesome open permissions on his mod (Serana's Hood Fix with Animation) that I've used. You can either download that mod or the extracted animations I've included in the miscellaneous section. Make sure you refresh your FNIS, Nemesis, or w/e you use. If you use the extracted one, give them some kudos on their profile.
Quick Feminine Animation by corvoassasin12:
Corvoassassin12 has made these animations specifically for this mod from scratch and asked me to host them. They're amazing and I'm honoured to have them as part of this mod. They may be building more as well. Make sure to go to their profile and give them some kudos.
*QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS*
Can We Modify the Locations?
- You can edit the formlist using SSEEdit. You can disable the formlist toggle completely as well via the MCM.
Supports All Hair Types?
- If you can select it in RaceMenu, it should be supported
- Use the "Check" option in the MCM to make sure the mod can detect the hair style you're wearing. Wigs probably won't work.
Supports Males & Females?
- Yes
Followers Supported?
- No, sorry. It won't persist anyway I don't believe. Also I don't use followers and I find them a pain to work with in mods. If you can tell me a quick and clean way to fetch your followers via papyrus, I might add more follower support in the future.
Hair In Pictures?
- Dint999 (patreon). There's a free hair pack on there currently with version 2. Really killer stuff.
Facial Expressions
- Facial expressions can stop working when using this mod. I don’t have a fix. Honestly, why are you staring at your character’s face so much anyway.
- Note, apparently some SMP hairs can cause this, KS hairs with physics is a big culprit. Play with your hair combos a bit.
- The community has noted that using hair from separate mods for hair up / down tends to prevent this.
Invisible Body Body:
- Apparently the new Faster HDT-SMP version has significantly reduced this / eliminated it.
- Quick solution: Save and reload. Sometimes works.
- More in depth: Its a hair thing, see this Faster HDT-SMP article/blog/thing.
Temporarily Invisible Eyebrows / Teeth:
- Apparently the new Faster HDT-SMP version has significantly reduced this / eliminated it.
- There’s been a lot of testing and discussion about this. The bug exists without this mod occasionally, but gets exacerbated by the hair switching, sometimes. It might pop up here and there, but it’ll go away too.
- Opening and closing racemenu or saving and loading might help.
- Comments in the discussion pointed out its a common smp bug and that if your teeth disappear they're probably hovering high above your head.
- You can try playing with different smp hairs, apparently some are worse than others for this.
Doesn’t Work As A Vampire (kinda fixed):
- I know, it sucks. This has to do with how the vanilla vampire is enforced somehow. I’m still investigating if I can override it. It seems so far that you're stuck with one hair for your duration as a vampire. Big thanks to TVzwordz for doing a lot of initial testing on this.
- I've created a workaround for this.
- Racemenu doesn't work as a vampire for some reason. What the mod does now is check if you're a vampire, convert you to your non-vampire equivalent for a second, switch your hair, and convert you back.
- This only supports the base 9 races in skyrim. If you would like to add a custom race, add the vampire race to the LetYourHairDown_VampireRaces formlist and add the non-vampire race to the LetYourHairDown_PlayableRaces formlist at the same index.
- If the microsecond flash that may occur isn't to your fancy, don't mention anything, just turn the mod off if you're a vampire. Seriously, just don't say anything. I did this fix as a courtesy and I don't care about the slight quantum moment of immersion loss in this case.
