Conina the Hairdresser, becoming a mod Options

[ghastley]

I already built Conina as a follower, but didn't place her in the game world.

I'm considering putting her in the Sleeping Giant in Riverwood, so potential Nijels can find her early in the game.

My Nijel has just started Lakevoew Manor, and she saw the small house and thought it would be perfect as a hairdressing salon, especially as the main house behind it can have an alternative entrance from any balcony. So I'm thinking for Lakeview only, take away the Entryway option, and replace with Salon.

So what equipment would a Tamriel hairdressing salon contain? Chair for the customer with plenty of space around it Large bowl and jug for washing, but what else? Large mirrors seem to be unknown. Small ones would be rare, too, and the game engine doesn't offer a reflective surface for one.

If you can get the Skyrim engine to do ray-traced reflections, ...

However, that does remind me that the scissors will need reflective mapping (cube map and mask) so they're properly shiny.

I might even try a really shiny hand-mirror that would be too small to see much. You only get a cubemap (baked in) reflection, so no face possible, but with a cubemap of the room it's in, it might look OK. I note that ESO has established that hand-mirrors, at least, have existed for centuries before Skyrim. They are likely the polished metal plate kind, rather than back-silvered glass.

Yeah definitely. Like highly polished copper or something.
