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.

I've started to gather the pieces together for a beta release. The stuff I added to the full version (which requires that you start a new game, because it changes the properties of the building quest) is cloned to the light version (which you can add to a game in-progress). I've started compiling the documentation - readme and wiki pages.

It will be for LE first, as you can convert up to SE, but not the other way. It will probably never see XBox1, as I'm losing patience with that crowd. Since I don't have one, it will just be for the versions I run.

I intend to provide Rincewind's hat and robe, and presets for both Nijel and Rincewind, as part of the package. Nijel works with hide gear plus iron helmet, without my making any special outfit for him. Neither would make a suitable NPC, as they were written to be combat-challenged, but you can play them any way you want.

Rincewind just did Hircine's quest (first time any player character of mine has done so). He spared the werewolf, as neither reward meant anything to him, and rings are light to carry.

I realised that Conina's outfits were built on the XPMSE skeleton (with all the extra jiggly bones) so they needed to be re-done without, or that would be an unnecessary pre-requisite. So one step back ...
