Vanilla Hair Fix

This is a total overhaul of the vanilla hairs. Where I saw any issues with the hair mesh, I fixed it. So, no more odd holes in the meshwork. My aim was to maintain as much of the vanilla styles as possible.

What comes to style changes, they are my personal subjective opinion which vanilla styles were in need of retirement. They went to Bahamas. Retired styles are: Oldman for females, Side Pony, Ark Haircut 07/10b and Ark Haircut 08/10a. For some reason the latter two both had two entries each (you can see short dreads and dreads pony both having the same retired vanilla do).

See video for complete* list of hairs and changes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XQN_EwJebw
*Due to humane mishap I forgot the Ark 01 dos, so they are not filmed. Added them to the mod on V3.

NAMING CONVENTION

Some hairdos kept their old name, if it was ok enough. But if it had an immersion-breaking name, like Anime, or Elvish they got renamed to more suitable. Some hairdos did not have an unique name, so those got names.


REARRANGED IN LENGTH ORDER

All hairdos are now sorted into length categories and they are listed in the character editor window in this new order, making it easier to pick a style.


NEW VARIATION STYLES

Added a few variations in the mix, chosen by arbitrary fashion.


CUSTOM CHARACTERS/RACES

If your custom character uses vanilla hairdos, then load this mod after the custom character/race mod and you are golden. If your custom race needs specially sized hairdos, then you are out of luck, these fit only normal sized humans. Custom races won't have the new category order, unless someone makes a patch for them. But the actual hairdos will be available without patches.


LOAD ORDER, CONFLICT and IMPORT

Load after race mods. Does not conflict with anything. No absolute need to import, but import recommended as some characters may keep their vanilla hairdo otherwise.


DISCLAIMER

I do not own the rights of these meshwork. Only the dreads ponytail is my original work, all others have been modified from the vanilla meshes, the long and short dreads are licensed. So these can only be used in context of Kenshi.
