⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community adoption (1,770 endorsements, 86k+ downloads) — clearly a favorite for visual polish.
- Covers every character in the game, so you get consistent softer hair across the board.
- Lightweight texture swap — no performance hit, just better-looking hair.
👎 Cons
- Only partial support for modded hairs — some custom styles might not get the softer treatment.
- Texture-only change; if you wanted physics or new styles, this isn't it.
- Last updated in June 2024 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches or newer hair mods.
