What is it?

By request, this is an extension of a previous release of mine that was limited to females only. This mod makes those 100+ SMP physics and collision enabled Racemenu hairs AND wigs available to men, women and everyone in between (sorry, no beasts). You will also find a patch that does the same for YunDao hairs in the optional files section, as well as links to other similar mods below. Yes, these all allow male characters to use hairs previously limited to females and vise versa. 

You may be thinking "lady hairs on manfolk, that is plain silly" but you would be surprised how many of them look quite nice on even the most rough and tumble fellas. 


Say what now?


If you are not familiar with the terminology "Racemenu hairs" are those that you can select during character creation, or at anytime by entering the console and typing showracemenu. Wigs are basically helmets that are nice to have to give to followers, assign to outfits, etc. So, in this one mod you get the best of both worlds.

Note: Wigs occupy slots 31 (hair) and 41 (long hair). They are craftable. They are cloth and have zero weight, value or armor rating. They are set to match the player characters hair color. This will also work on followers whom have their hair color set in CK, not just in the facegen data.

All ESPs are flagged ESL, so they will not take up a mod slot.


Building a collision body: 


Included are bodyslide files for the collision body for: CBBE 3BA/3BBB, BHUNP and HIMBO. Note however that it can be made to work with any body type by creating a similar shape with one of these existing bodies. For example you can use the HIMBO sliders for any male type like SAM or vanilla. It does not have to be exact, you are just creating a crude invisible body for the hair to collide with.

To build in Bodyslide type "xing" into the Outfit Filter box and then select your preset. Next check the build morphs box before hitting the Batch Build button. When prompted use the radio buttons to select your desired body type: CBBE 3BA, BHUNP or HIMBO and press OK.

Note: There is only one collision body, so if you switch from male to female or vise versa, it may be necessary to rebuild the collision body in Bodyslide. I have found that the "Simple" preset included with HIMBO is a decent compromise that works pretty well for both male and females that don't have grossly exaggerated features.


Known Issues (likely others, sorry): 

Clipping is going to occur. You will be using hairs intended for the opposite sex. While most work and look great, one example I have noticed is that the males bulbous head will sometimes clip through the back of some hairs. This can be resolved in the Racemenu morph tab by deflating the head mesh in these areas. Also, the male's neck is much thicker than the collision head's neck, so hairs that are close to the neck will clip. Lastly, the hairs whether on a male or female will clip through protruding armor pieces as they are only setup to collide with the invisible collision body, not armor. The only remedy is to overbuild your collision body in Bodyslide. Example, if the hair is clipping through the chest, then start with your desired preset but enlarge the chest before building the collision body, etc. Remember, you can type values far greater than 0-100 in the slider boxes and the collision body is invisible, so it doesn't have to be pretty.


Want even more hair for men?:

Patch(s):


For YunDao Hair with Physics 4.9.3 hair and wigs: patch available in the optional section of my mods file page.

Note, since this patch does not include assets, it does not support the BodySlide files included with my mod and thus may have severe clipping issues depending on your character's physical characteristics. Please direct any male related issues to me, not the author/custodian of YunDao Hair.
