⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge community trust: 6,444 endorsements and 3.9M downloads — this is a staple for many modded setups.
No ESPs for the main retexture means it's lightweight and won't bloat your load order.
Works with both Special Edition and Legendary Edition, so it's versatile for different Skyrim versions.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2021 — may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or newer mods.
The optional ESP replacer reduces hairstyles, which might not be what everyone wants if you like variety.
Requires the original KS Hairdos mod as a base, so you need to download that separately.
