Changelogs
Beast Hair Horn Beards and Brows

What the mod offers for Argonians and Khajiits:
  • A visual overhaul for npcs
  • Character creation options

Countless new hairs, brows, facial hair options with new vanilla-based assets.

Compatible with body/head mesh/textures mods.

To note:
Khajiit and Argonian now have brow and facial sliders in the character menu.


Do not re-export facegen for this mod. Doing so loses all the racemenu face edits and tints made for each npc.


About the replacer
excluded hooded Khajiits, p.e. M´aiq - a visual trait reference - Hircine Hunters, one-timers, dead npcs, visions and ghosts.
Argonian npcs in Riften are lush, in Solitude, crooks, in Windhelm, weirds.

Requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
Changes to spells, perks, levels, stats to the beast followers (3) - basically uncapping the level without turning them op.


 Backported version on LE by TheScytale here


There´s a twin mod named iBeasts which replaces all beast race npcs in Interesting Npcs mod and also has many new assets for the player character.
also BeastHHBB with hair physics for some Khajiit

minor unimportant things to help troubleshoot
Spoiler:  
Show

 1) Do not change hair in console commands, especially as a vampire. The hairs reset with saves and the face sculptor does not work properly with vampires
 2) The owl brow will be invisible from behind. Does not affect any other option. Unoticeable.
 3)With the increase of the brow section options for Argonians, the sliders for mouth and nose give additionally 40 empty options. The first ones on the slider are the ones that matter

Two of the Khajiit beards don´t show up (?) 34i has double earrings; minor clipp on a hairstyle with some rugs; 31d with very slight horn clipping (viewed from above). very few options with horns have a brown base colour for the horns, meant for females, vice-versa. 

Incompatible with:
mods that add new hairs for the beast races with names such as, p.e. hairkhajiitfemale10 and so forth, because those names are in use here. 

If by some reason you have Argonian feathers that are not vanilla and can´t remember where they come from and want to delete them (this mod does not have any) delete these 3 files from data folder to restore them to vanilla:  argonianhair_n.dds,  argonianhair.dds and argonianfemalehair.dds


Eyeballs
Spoiler:  
Show
 
The eye deviating from its centered orbit is a vanilla issue. It happens with all races but it is most common and noticeable on Argonians.
Things that affect this:
  • spamming pushing to talk to the npc causes them to get stuck
  • games with stuttering present.
Argonians (et all) that have had the eye width and depth altered in racemenu suffer from this more often, again, if the game stutters and with exported heads.
This can be "interrupted" by pushing to talk, or leaving the present cell and allow them to re-load. This happens between expression transitions and they get stuck between them. In my game I rarely have this with high fps and mods. Again it happens potentially with all races. I use the expressive mod. Steps have been made for the most conversational npcs here to be on par with vanilla in case of complaints. In short, its too much eye edits (vanilla or not) +lots of mods and struggling fps. 
Other than that chunky desynced argonian expression articulation is nothing new, the eyes just go mad trying to match it.
