Requirements

 

Main File

It's the one called "Dynamic Body Hair Overlays.rar"


Optional Files

  • Dynamic Body Hair Overlays - X Seconds Shaving Sound:
    • Different lengths for the shaving sound. The one in the main file is 5 seconds long. I've provided versions for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 37 (original file length) seconds.
  • Dynamic Body Hair Overlays - Your Custom Shaving Sound
    • Use this to add your own custom sound so that it doesn't get overwritten in future updates. You just need to overwrite the "shaving.wav" file. The name cannot change at the moment.
  • Dynamic Body Hair Overlays - Your Custom Shaving Animations
    • For Open Animation Replacer. Use this to add your own animation that will play when shaving (male or female). Your "hkx" file needs to go in the "_variants_mt_idle" folder in the "male" & "female" folders. You can name your hkx files anything you want. You can also add as many animations as you want and they will play randomly.

Features

  • Growing Hair - Your body hair overlays will increase in opacity based on the settings.
  • Shaveable Hair - Press the key in the settings and your body hair overlays will have their opacities decreased based on the settings.


Planned Features

  • (Planned) Shaving animation(s) - However I don't know how to make animations yet (something I want to learn how to do), so unless there are any out there I'm unaware of, or if someone else can make any, they might not be added for a while. I was thinking of an animation where the character uses the "scissors" from https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Embalming_Tool#Trivia
  • (Planned) Shaving happens instantly (noticeable only if Fade to Black is disabled). I plan to improve this in the future.
  • (Planned) Face, hand, feet body overlay support. This means beards could be supported in the future assuming they are added as racemenu overlays. I'm not aware if such overlays exist at the moment.
  • (Planned) NPC/Follower support
  • (Maybe) Ability to change from one overlay to another after the opacity has reached a certain value. At the moment we're just increasing/decreasing each overlay.
  • (Maybe) Related to the above, being able to fine tune what is shaved when shaving. Currently, when shaving, it'll decrease all of the enabled opacities to their minimum opacity in the settings.
  • Please submit your own ideas and I will consider them!



Video Demonstration

 



Mod Setup

1/ Add Body Overlays in RaceMenu (If you already have the body overlays you want to use you can skip this part and go to 2/)

  • Add some body overlays to your character in RaceMenu (tip: type the tilde (~) key to access the Console, then type showracemenu, then go to the "Body Paint" tab and add some overlays. Once done, save your character).
  • If the Body Paint tab is empty, or to change the amount of paints/overlays you can use, you'll need to edit the "skee64.ini" file provided by RaceMenu. I recommend making a copy of this file, and adding it to a new empty mod in your load order (ensuring it loads after RaceMenu), and then making your changes to that file.
    • In the "skee64.ini" file, find these lines:
      • [Overlays/Body] ; "Body [Ovl#]" and "Body [SOvl#]"; Determines how many body overlays there should be
        • Quote

           

          • iNumOverlays=6 ; Default[6]
          • iSpellOverlays=1 ; Default[1]

           

           

        • The default should be 6. To change the number of allowed overlays, change "iNumOverlays" to something else, e.g. iNumOverlays=10 or iNumOverlays=20

2/ Go to Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) -> Dynamic Body Hair Overlays

3/ Click the "Player - Body Overlays" page and make sure your overlays appear. If they don't, double check they were added in RaceMenu. If it still doesn't show, please open a bug report.

  • You can ignore the greyed out overlays that say "default.dds". Those arejust overlays in RaceMenu that haven't been customized.
  • Click the empty box next to the overlay names to enable them. You can alsomanually change their current opacities on the right side of the page.


4/ Go to the "Player - Enabled Body Overlays". Here you will be able to tweak enabled body overlays further. You can set the minimum & maximum amount that the overlays can increase in opacity during each update, as well as the minimum and maximum opacity.

5/ Go to the "Settings" page and change them to your liking. When you're finished be sure to enable the mod!

6/ Once you're happy with the settings, I recommend going to the "Import/Export" page, and exporting your settings. Your exported settings can be found at "Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\JCUser\Dynamic Body Hair Overlays\settings.json". I recommend manually backing up this file as well.

7/ If you ever add or remove any overlays in RaceMenu, please make sure you go into the "Player - Body Overlays" & "Player - Enabled Body Overlays" mod pages to make sure everything looks correct.

8/ If you change sex or preset, see 7/

9/ Enjoy!

Translation Authors

  • Translation files can be found in the mod's folder at "Interface\Translations"
  • I think I've added all the languages that are supported by the game, so please let me know if one is missing.
  • If you're a translator, feel free to translate the mod, and you caneven upload your translation as your own mod (requiring this mod). I'll include the translation in a future update, credit you, and link to your mod. Your mod's translation will take priority.

Cool idea for a mod, but just a note, if you are gonna take before and after pictures, make sure it's light enough to actually see what the mod is doing lol

 

Ya'll don't have dark vision? xD Yeah you're right, I've been meaning to change them ever since I first posted them (on nexus).

There's already a pretty detailed mod called Immersive Fashion and Hair Growth, do you think you could make this compatible with that since currently the Slave Tats body hair it uses doesn't actually seem to show up but it does apparently allow you to change what it uses for the hair
