Introduction

This document describes how to change the hairstyle of one of Wodo's NPC's with Physics Hair.

Disclaimer: By "Physics Hair" I mean hair and not wig.  My older mods use wigs.  My newer mods were created December 29, 2023 and later.

Disclaimer: I am not attempting to explain how to use xEdit.  If you are a novice, start with the documentation on that software's page.

Required Tools / Mods


  • xEdit (SSEdit)
  • Whatever physics hair mod you wish to use.

Some physics hair mods are
Instructions

  • Start xEdit.  
  • Select the mod you intend to edit. (Such as WodoWhiterunCarlotta.esp)  If you wish to use a hair mod from a mod other than I used, select that too.  Load the mods (the OK button)
  • If you are using a hair mod other than the mod I used, you will need to add it as a master to the mod for the NPC. 
  • Click the NPC mod and expand it until you see the NPC record.  Visually search for the PNAM fields.  (Scroll down.)
  • Find the hair field.  Double click.  Click the down arrow to expand the pull-down menu.  Finding the hair you want isn't easy with the Dint hair and easier with the KS Hairdos hair.  I struggle with finding the hair too.  But do not select any hair that has the word "extra" in the description.
  • Exit to save.  Confirm save.  (Suggest you let it make a backup in case of mistakes.)
  • Test in game.

    Hi! Thank you for this, but can you tell me if there would be a conflict if the NPC .nif still has the "old" hairstyle? I see a lot of tutorials messing around with NifSkope to do this, so I'm confused why do that, if xEdit alone can be used. (xEdit is so easy to me.)
