Description

Mannequins are there for you to show off your prettiest outfits and your greatest achievements as Dragonborn, yet they're made out of crappy wood. Well, I say no more! With this mod, mannequins will dynamically change their appearance to resemble your character as closely as possible. Should you decide to open the race menu and modify your character's appearance, all nearby mannequins will update their visuals once you finalized your modifications.

I consider this mod close to finished, and the following traits are currently supported : 

  • Race
  • Sex
  • Weight
  • Face geometry (even for characters sculpted through RaceMenu)
  • Face overlays (warpaints, freckles, makeup, etc.)
  • Body morphs (body sliders in RaceMenu, or other mods modifying your character's body dynamically through RaceMenu)
  • Body overlays (scars, tattoos, tanlines, etc.)
  • Skin color & textures

The following traits are partially supported :

  • Height/Scale

The following traits are not supported :

  • Overlays that aren't added through RaceMenu


I can't guarantee that all mods that change your character's appearance will work on mannequins, but I'm confident it should work with most body/race mods. I personally use BodySlideCBBE 3BA, High Poly Head and Charmers of the Reach and they should all work without issues. I do not officially support SOS or TNG.

With version 1.0 out I consider this mod mostly finished. While I have ideas for other features in mind, I'm not sure if I'll be able to implement them.



Requirements

An SKSE version adapted to your Skyrim version and Address Library.
RaceMenu is a soft requirement, see below.


Compatibility

I made this mod with RaceMenu and its features in mind but it is not a hard requirement. ECE should also work but I did not test it and it will not replace RaceMenu's features.

This mod will conflict with other mods changing the vanilla or HearthFires mannequins. If a mannequin does not copy your character properly, then it likely means this mannequin is added/modified by another mod. If you wish for a specific mod to be made compatible, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.



Installation / Update

I made this mod with ease of use in mind, and it can be installed or updated at any point without issues.

  • To install this mod, download it through a mod manager of your choice and then enable it.
  • To update this mod, follow the instructions above and overwrite/replace the existing files when asked.

No support will be provided for users installing this mod manually.


Uninstallation

Simply disable/remove the mod through your mod manager.


FAQ

  • Q: When will the next update/final version be released ?
  • A: Soon™.

  • Q: What other features do you have in mind ?
  • A: Being able to decide which mannequins copy the player or not, choosing what character to copy (player character or the NPC of your choice).

  • Q: Can you add X feature ?
  • A: Post it the comment section and I'll think about it.

  • Q: Why do mannequins briefly look weird after a loading screen ?
  • A: The player's appearance might not be completely loaded yet. A delay is necessary to avoid copying the wrong visuals onto mannequins.

  • Q: Some of my mannequins changed positions, what can I do about it ?
  • A: Quick save and then reload, or leave and then re-enter whatever location you where in, or try to re-equip a piece of armor, and they should be back to their default position.


Bugs

If you experience any bug, submit a report and I’ll try to fix the issue in the next version. 

Known bugs (do not report a bug already listed here) :

  • When wearing an HDT-SMP haircut (KS Hairdos SMP for example), mannequins' hairs might stretch to infinity / CTD occurs
  • Mannequins head and/or bodies might become invisible

If you have hairs stretching or invisible heads / bodies, it might be because of an outdated Faster HDT-SMP version.
If you encounter a CTD when wearing an HDT-SMP haircut, check out SMP-NPC Crash Fix.

In addition to the credits above, I’d like to give huge thanks to everyone who helped me create this mod, including : powerofthree, doodlum, FuzzlesParapetsNoahBoddiemeh321CharmedBaryonQudix, KhrysINXSshad0wshayd3, fenix31415, ponzipyramid and doticu. Their patience and knowledge were invaluable and I would not have been able to release this mod without them. I likely forgot a lot of people (sorry) but I'm grateful nonetheless.
