Immersive Hair Growth and Styling (YPS Devious & Immersive Fashion 2025-06-08)

[emily1673]

v. 6.8:
Long nail lovers rejoice! Thorough revamp of the professional finger nail polish system
- Finger nail polish items can now be freely configured in the file ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json, according to shape, length, color and nail art style. Works with any mod that provides fingernails as equippable items (regardless of item slot).
- Professional manicure sessions are now more realistic, including application of nail tip extensions, base color, and finishing touches (UIExtensions is needed to enjoy the new nail sessions)
- Intensity of the fashion and stat (de)buffs of professionally manicured nails now depends on nail tip length.
- To extend the duration of professional manicure, you can get a refill session.
- When professional manicure with nail extensions wears off, player will enter the "Broken Nail Tip" state, reducing the nail buffs, while the debuffs stay in place. Refills are still possible.
- "Broken Nail Tips" will eventually drop from the players hands, causing a "Damaged Nails" debuff, which will last as long as the professional manicure. - Players with "Damaged Nails" cannot use nail polish on their own, but can get a professional manicure session to rebuild their nails
- When wearing nail extensions, player cannot wear gloves or gauntlets (except those flagged with the keyword ypsFingerlessGloves)
- Added several dialogue lines to the YPS vendors explaining the system. Also added a few girl talk dialogues.
- Cost for professional manicure sessions can now be set in MCM. It also depends on the chosen nail tip length.
- Professional nail polish removal is now faster when "quick nail polish application" is checked in MCM.
- When trying to pick up small items while wearing long nails, the player has to face two challenges: (1) "fumbling" around (= playing a short animation) and (2) dropping the items to the ground. The likelihood for this to happen can be set in MCM separately.
- Added new textures to "Shas' Nails", showing bare tips and broken tips, as well as a few french styles. (The newly provided version is for the full version of YPS and has SL as master. A "lite" version will come later.)
- New papyrus keywords (e.g. for the thought system): ypsNeedNailRefill, ypsBrokenNailTips, ypsDamagedNails

(Note: The ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json currently provided is not yet complete. So far it includes already about 250 styles: all Kaw and YPS nails, about 1/4 of Shas' nails and 1/3 of OGN nails. More nail styles can be added by the user.)

 

It is highly recommended to install the YPS version of Shas's nails, provided in the download section here (SE only, sorry).

 

Instructions how to edit ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json:
Section 1 ("string"): Relates the different shapes and lengths to the corresponding mod esp names. There can be different shapes in the same esp. Shapes must be in lowercase letters.
Section 2 ("float"): tip length (the section past the fingertips, in mm)
Section 3 ("stringList"): color names. Colors should begin with an empty space (" "); you can add optional nail art in [square brackets]. Color names must be in lowercase letters.
Section 4 ("int"): List of color RGB codes (optional). Will show once nails wear off. Only needed for tip length 0.
Section 5 ("form"): Form list (convert item hex codes to int values). Special form names are "basetip" (applied temporarily during the manicure session) and "cracked" (applied once nail tips get broken); if these forms are not specified, the script will use "white" tips instead; if there are no "white" tips either, the specified (colored) nails are used instead.

 

Additional changes:
- Main script ticker is now suspended during makeover sessions (nail polish, professional nails, piercings, hairdo, body hair shave). This will reduce script load and increase stability.
- Timescale is temporarily set to "1" during nail, piercing and hair sessions, decreasing the likelihood to be caught trespassing.
- Fixed a bug causing equipped heels not being registered correctly
- MCM setting to allow applying nailpolish when wearing items now also works for feet (compatibility option for BAC or similar mods)
- Turning off hair length (de)buffs in MCM now also affects fashion level (as it was intended from the beginning)
- When starting the Dibella Quest, the text box coming up will state that the quest is in BETA
- Disabled idle dialogue from YPS vendors (no more spamming "What do you need?"). This is still experimental.
- Max fashion addiction level increased to 16
- About 200 new player thoughts

 

For modders:
- Modders can suspend the YPS main script ticker with the script command StorageUtil.SetIntValue(None,"ypsDisableTicker",1). This is recommended during script heavy cut scenes, especially those involving YPS features. YPS modevents will still work normally when the ticker is suspended. Don't forget to enable the ticker again.

Hi @emily1673

Thank you for the update

Just tried it on a new game - I didn't get the popup as normal for setting starting hair length/colour. Instead of the popup, my characters hair got set to bald, then grew a a length every few seconds as if set to maximum growth settings. This was while still on default settings.

Correct, I messed something up. Will post an update soon.

With all these new long nail options I have to ask, any news on the integration of Female Hands Redone and the morphological possibility of really growing out nails? I

love that mod, but I haven't seen a real conversion for Sha's equippable nails yet. So FHR users won't be able to use a lot of the new features. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

I tried it, but failed to control the nail length via script.

Shas' nails are a valuable mod, because it at least offers lots of nail shapes in different lengths. So I came with the idea to allow nail extensions of different sizes to make up for it. I don't see any other options right now.

There are some people on the Nexus trying to make Shas' nails compatible with Female Hands Redone. And there is also a version of OGN nails for hands redone (it would be easy to write a json configuration file to make them work with the new YPS nail feature). But neither works with the nail morph feature.

 

So the best thing for FHR users right now would be: install the FHR OGN nails and write up matching entries in ypsProfessionalNailsDatabase.json

 

And wait for Shas' FHR nails to come out, so the current Shas file can be patched.

 

Or, uninstall FHR, and get your nails done every few weeks, as a good girl should ^^

That's a message from DD and can be turned off somewhere in the MCM.

So now I can have long nails with bracelets (since they are kinda fingerless)?! 😃
*prays for easy way to add keywords to items*

Yes, it should work. Try out SPID and KID (though I am personally not familiar with those).

 I see. I like Sha's mod a lot and hope a good conversion for FHR comes out. The OGN FHR nails do not work for me personally. And a girl needs delicate hands, so FHR it is 🙂

Somebody posted a prototype for Shas FHR conversion. You can download it https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/120716?tab=posts

(see post from June 26; didn't try it yet).

 

The OGN FHR nails work for me. Just need to build them in bodyslide:

They also work with fingerless gloves:

 

But they will need new entries in the naildatabase json (which is easy to accomplish).

 

I will post a tweaked version in a while, which will also include the KID configuration file for fingerless gloves ( @Garfieldcat I am attaching it to this post as well).

New Voice-Over version plus DBVO version for 6.8.0 is up:

Hey there.

I do have a feature idea to expand the high heel part of the mod.

Not sure how good you could implement it, but in my opinion the speed debuff you get while wearing heels should be depended on the actual height of the heels.

I mean, it is easier to walk in lower heels than in extremely high heels.

Do you think something like this could be implemented, aswell as an MCM option to adjust the debuff speed seperately for each "high heel rank"?

[Gameplayer]

How does,

 

SMP Hair work?

 

So I have Dints Hairstyles from discord and a few more SMP hairpacks off Nexus, so if I allow the mod to control hair well it gives my character a non-SMP hair.

There is also another mod in my load order that already does some hair changing, via LOLA mod.

Good idea! That's a theoretically possible, and I might look at it some time.

YPS is just a hair framework and does not contain any hair mods.

YPS shows the hair mods you have installed.

If you don't like certain hairstyles, remove them from the yps configuration data (see ypsHairDatabase.json for the mod list, and separate json for hairstyles from each mod). Also, you can disable "Use Random Default Styles" in MCM and setup your own hair default styles in ypsHairDefault.json

Any plan to resolve the regression where during the first hair styling scene in the Dibella quest, the user's long straight hair is first cut to a random short-length haircut (including weird variations) before being permed? In earlier versions, the hair was correctly cut to short straight hair that resembled the long-hair style before being permed.

Thanks a lot! I will add them to the next update.

Just noticed that I had this hairmod already installed in my SE setup... 🫡

I have a problem with the nail De-buff settings

Both the 'Chance to fumble picking up small items' and 'Chance to drop small items' seem to control the Chance to drop setting.

There is no way to change the fumble chance. Is that intentional?

Version 6.8.0

Edited July 20, 2024 by Fredfish
Added version number

Indeed, there is a typo in the yps MCM script. Will correct this in the next update.

The last update was quite complex. Hope I didn't break still more things... 🤔

[emily1673]

v. 6.8.1:
- Added some more details and "thoughts" to the nail sessions
- Added more entries to the nail database
- Added KID keyword configuration data for fingerless gloves and vanilla fashion clothing (plus a few 3rd party mods)

- Added hair configuration files for Xing SMP hairs (thanks to @0x000f)
- Fixed an error with MCM

I did not include the HN66 nails yet, because they are different for LE and SE.

 

Hobby artists should especially note the "permission free" mods, as it is quite easy to add further colors and nail art. Feel free to be creative, and I would be happy to include your new designs into the nail database.

Hello, just a quick question, i seem to have an issue with training high heels in latest version, basically my char on start to walk runs for a 1 sec and then slows down but then if i walk sideways (holding W together with A or D) my char just runs at full speed, is this a feature in latest version? it didn't do that in version 6.7. 

Thanks
