Give the Skyrim cast a complete high-definition overhaul

Superior Lore-Friendly Hair – HD textures is a free, fan-made mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It gives new hair graphics to all the game’s playable characters and many NPCs. In addition, the high-definition textures ensure that the hair graphics are sharper than ever before.

The mod bills itself as “lore-friendly,” meaning it does not disrupt the world of Skyrim. There are no outrageous new hairstyles, but merely more sophisticated graphics for the existing characters. Meanwhile, the gameplay remains unaffected like other purely cosmetic add-ons, such as Skyrim Flora Overhaul Mod.

High-definition haircuts in Skyrim

The mod affects roughly 90% of characters, keeping the basic designs of their hairstyles intact but adding a greater degree of detail. The new textures show fine hair strands, complete with transparency and gradients for added realism. Hair accessories also gain new textures.

Realistic hair effects

Though many players often miss or look past some of the character haircuts, convincing graphics for hair takes a lot of time and effort. The Lore-Friendly Hair – HD textures mod uses high-definition handmade textures for improvement, which took all the in-game graphics since Skyrim was first released into account.

No gameplay lag

While some graphics mods impact gameplay by slowing things down, this mod is specifically designed to avoid this handicap. Instead, the mod aims at making Skyrim even more immersive without disrupting the original gaming experience.

A cosmetic mod

Like all other cosmetic mods that don’t influence gameplay, many players often see this expansion pack as unnecessary. However, those who pay close attention to in-game graphics will truly appreciate the greater immersion that comes hand-in-hand with finer details. Plus, this Skyrim enhancement mod is completely free, making it more than worthy for the price.
