    FREQUENTLY ANTICIPATED QUESTIONS

    Q: Will you do                      Hold next?
    A: Possibly. Doing this project is incredibly time consuming.
    I'll get to taking screenshots and finalizing these projects when I prioritize them.

    Q: High Poly Head? Painterly? High Poly Hairs?
    A: No. No. Depends, I'm picking and choosing which hair I like.

    my npc are nothing like yours, does HPH messed it up somehow? or simply because of different skin mod?

      These meshes don't use HPH, but having HPH installed won't (or, shouldn't) mess anything up.
      All of the recommended mods I use are in the description. It's possible these NPCs are also being overwritten by other mods.

      Maybe. My issue is I just didn't like it. Taking screenshots is also a major burden for these types of mods.
      My freetime has been super limited since October but I'm hoping I can get back to everything soon.

    is there a way to revert Ysolda's hair to vanilla ones?

      Very late but if anyone else want to revert Ysolda's (or other NPC hair) you can just open SSEEDIT, find WhiterunHoldRefine.esp -> Non-Player Character (Actor) -> Ysolda -> Scroll down and find the hair entry (HAH_Whiterun_HairFemaleImperial10 for Ysolda), right click and remove.

      This will revert the hair to vanilla. Make sure to also delete the entry from Bashed and Synthesis patches if they're there.

    It was causing crashes for me, unfortunately. Since no one else encountered it, I'm assuming it was an incompatibility. It crashed after an NPC -- presumedly one touched by the mod -- left a nearby cell. I will leave this here for other people to find just in case they have similar crashes.

    It sucks that I can't use your mod. It's one of favorites. I hope I can possibly resolve the incompatibility in the future.

      I know this is probably unhelpful but I can't really come up with any reason why a mod would hard conflict with this to the point of crashing (that most people would actually run into). It could be placebo. If a mod is causing crashing, you should figure out what that mod is as the issue is likely still present and not fixed by removing this mod.

      The crash log referenced the mod specifically. Taking it out stopped the problem.
      I'll try again further, though, to make sure.

      Probably because it involved an NPC edited by this mod and this was the furthest down in your load order. That doesn't actually mean the mod caused it - what is likely happening is that you may be misinterpreting the crash log. You should look at what the crash specifically was. It does suck that in your case it wasn't consistently reproducible, and I'm sorry.

      Same here. Downloaded a Wabbajack modlist called AVO, added a few of my own mods to it (random follower mods and armor) then kept crashing near or in Whiterun after you visit the Jarl for the first time. Narrowed it down to this mod causing the crash. My crash log mentioned HDT-SMP and Facegen caused by this mod.

      A crash log is going to point to the name of this plugin if an NPC it edits is involved in the call stack no matter what. That's just how it works.

      You'd have to send the log and I can tell you in a minute if this mod caused the crash or not.

    If anyone is having issues with the black face bug, go into the creation kit and click data under file, set WhiterunHoldRefine as the active file, and then under Actors > Actor > actor, type in the name of the npc with the bug. Click on said NPC and press CTRL+F4 and hit yes to all. What this is going to do is export the files in the folder. Im not sure where or to what extent, i found this after a two hour search online. Save and exit. should fix them. It did for me :)

    Hello there !

    Awesome modifications youve done here, i sadly couldn't enjoy the full experience. I am currently using Sons of Skyrim for the awesome BEARS ! There for most male npc's are in conflict with your creation, here in on your other characters so i wanted to ask if you would intend to offer us an option for female only pack ?

      You could use XEdit or Easy Npc to pick and choose which overhauls you want for which NPC. Thats how ive been able to gewt around using this mod, Pandorable's mods, Bijin Series, and a few others. Takes time but its worth it.
