24/03/2017 - Added JIP NVSE version.

 

Description
Everytime you install custom hairs or custom eyes, if you want them to be used in your favourite custom race you must open the GECK and add them in the list - basically you must patch them manually.

 

This small script does it for you, everytime you load the game.

 

You'll be able to load any hairstyle and eyes, and it will spread it on any race you have installed. IIl will execute when you load the game, when you'll arrive in the main menu - the game will freeze when loading the arrays, and when it has finished it will show you a message box. NOTE: if you'll open the console at this point, you'll be able to see how many eyes / hairs were added to records.
If you have slowdowns / freezes after the message box, they're not caused by this mod. How much time it will take? it varies by some factors. It makes many operations, it can make *some thousand* operations. I tried with ARES + Mojave Delight + Mojave Delighted + Mikoto, it took about 4 seconds to load everything. Considering how big Mikoto is, it was a very fine result for me. If your loading times are too high, then consider to reduce the number of races / hairs or not use this small mod.

 

The mod also provides you an item under Apparel, named [Mirror-Hairs ] and [Mirror-Eyes]. f you click on them, it will close the pipboy and after 1-2 seconds it will open the barber menu for hairs and the plastic surgeon menu for eyes, so you'll be able to change your hairstyle.

 

Requisites
- NVSE 5+
- JIP NVSE

 

Installation
Drop the ESP under Data and activate it. To uninstall, simply remove it and make a clean save.

 

Issues and Conflicts
Sincerely, I can't think to any possible downsides right now. Let me know if you'll have issues posting your experience on the thread.

 

For hairs, maybe you could have some improper hairstyles if you play with child races, it's not made for child races. If you find any issues please use the thread to warn me.

 

A note about eyes: there are some mods that introduce a new kind of eye, with a different UV. Basically, its texture can't be adapted over a vanilla eye and vice-versa. Translated in practical terms, it means that since this mod knows nothing about which model you install and it only merges them all together, you'll find yourself with some eyes that look well and some other eyes that have obviously a wrong texture over them. You can't do anything about it. To use a fantasy comparison, it's like if you install UNP body on Skyrim and then you want to use CBBE textures over it.

 

Update: there are essentially a couple of issues I managed to find during further tests.

 

- One is well known since always, you can read about it on some race pages too (i.e. Mojave Delight if I remember well). It is about the fact that under some circumstances you can't change eyes and hairs together. If you want to change eyes, you should first choose some vanilla hair and then change eyes and then change hair back to your custom model. I say "under some circumstances" because for Mojave Delight and its eyes / hairs it always happened to me, but on other races it doesn't, so I still can't say what's the real cause.

 

- The second is a lil more strange. It's still about eyes, they cause me random freezes if I change them on the fly in game. As it is, it seems game engine related, and it depends by the kind of custom race I'm using. For example, with vanilla race and custom eyes + hairs I didnt' have problems, while on ARES I had it often.

 

This, for me, means that you probably will be able to use every hair and eye you want (but keep in mind the point number One for some races) during the character creation, but changing them later could lead to problems, so save your game before changing something to avoid to loose where you arrived, because of the freeze. This also means that you probably could avoid further freezes if you swap race, but it causes other downsides, in every Bethesda game changing race resets things like attributes / skills etc.

 

TL;DR THERE SHOULDN'T BE ISSUES DURING CHARACTER'S CREATION, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME IF CHANGING THE ASPECT LATER. I'LL LEAVE THE TWO MIRRORS ON THE PLAYER'S INVENTORY, BUT BEFORE SWAPPING YOUR ASPECT ON THE FLY (mainly eyes), PLEASE MAKE A SAVE FIRST.

 

Also, it could be that some mods like NVAC or some specific tweaks / settings could reduce or avoid this issue, it could be nice to make further tests with these.

Permissions
My general rule on permissions - you can do whatever you want but not for commercial use; if it's marked as Beta/WIP, then do not use it, it's better if you contact me and we cooperate; if you use something from my mods, some credit would be nice, but if you can please inherit the permissions, so that others will be able to use your mod too, mods deserve to be spreaded.

Thank you BruceWayne!

... and one should be inclined to think that after all this time everything would have been already modded, and all the problems already solved... hell no! we have mod material for at least 3 more years!

Takes about 6 minutes every time at startup to load this, using literally every hair and vanity mod I've found on a laptop XD

 

Please capture the screenshot that says how many seconds are necessary, I want to include it as a kind of "guiness record".

Well.. i mean this is a great mod, its the only way to get the hair (sloppy mid-neck length with hairtie to the backright) on the Androgyne race (they have such cute penises.) This is especially usefull using Safe ShowRaceMenu to change race and appearance on the fly..

 

I tried removing it but the hair disappeared. This mod should be fine for most people, my laptop is insanely slow at some things and not others, I've been able to break multiplayer games exploiting how slow my laptop can be (occasional invisibility in Battlefield games.)

 

I'll show you a screenshot if you like, idk how to make a timer that shows how long it takes to load tho..

 

Is there a way to manually add this one hairstyle to this race?

 

I recommend this mod to anyone, except me LOL

Ahem... the mod does it on its own everytime you load the game. Check in the Download page, under the description, the five screenshots on bottom. Check the one on the right - I'd love a screenshot like that.

hmmm.. well 2 problems with that :C

 

i pressed the PrintScreen button but there is no .bmp in my game folder, but... my pop-up is not like the one in that picture, it doesn't say the number of hairs and eyes patched, and doesn't say the time D:

 

But trust me, I made toast and smoked a bowl and came back and it was still loading yesterday :C

I knew there was something weird and it deserved me to dig...

Update :)

 

About screenshots: did you try taking screenshots with Steam, as I said in the other thread? these are not messed up, it's just NV / FO3 / Oblivion way to take screenshots that is messed.

If only I had this before I copied all the hairs. :(

 

Anyway, nice work! This'll sure come in handy for the future.

 

i just want to add a single hair to a single race. im trying not to get frustrated even tho this is frustrating :\

 

i would still appreciate some help with this, i'm scared of stuff like GECK and FNVedit :C

I'm sorry, I explained very bad my previous message.

What I was meaning is this:

 

"sorry if I insisted with all these messages. Fact is, I was feeling there was something strange happening, and my sixth sense was right: your version, which was the latest version of the mod online, is NOT the actual last version that I have on my hard drive. This happened because I did a mess when I packaged it. So, I just re-packaged it with the latest ESP, thank you for making me notice this issue!"

 

If you'll update the latest version, you should see the new message box that tells you exactly all the values involved. This helps you to make a statistic to understand how fast / slow is your rig and how many records you have - because some races / hairs / eyes are not visible but they are there.

Uhm I had this mod working before but when I load it up now it says patched hair eyes and races 0, no idea why it refuses to patch anything...

 

 

Did you update it or Lutana?

 

I suggest a clean save - untick the mod on the load order, start the game, load your latest save, wait few seconds, save on a new slot, quit the game, re-tick the mod on the load order, re-start the game, load this latest save and see what happens.

 

Also, if you open the console, there could be some errors written by NVSE out there, they could help to debug.

ya turned out I upgraded it too much lol, got the newest beta and that was what caused it. Once I downgraded to the older file it recognized my eyes and hair

 

 

Please, this is very important, modding wise. Do you mean the newest Lutana Beta version? what number, exactly? (I know Luthien is making several updates). If it's so, would you have a chance to re-install it, do a clean save and try again?
