Introduction
This mod is a high poly replacement for Wodo's Merchants of Whiterun - HDT-SMP Physics. I had written a Deze variation with high poly before I knew about high poly eyebrows. Then I noticed Carlotta had some manly eyebrows after installing the eyebrow mod. So...a new mod is born.
The mod includes FoMod so you can choose which NPC's you want to replace and skip the rest.
I also included the male merchants Belthor, Utfberth War-Bear and Faregar (wizard). Apparently Balgruuf found out that he wasn't included. Wishing to keep my head ... he's included too. Again, FoMod installer so you don't need to install anyone you don't want to install.
(As for Mikael, he's not a merchant but I had already created him and put him in a Bard's mod. Easy enough to include him here too.)
Installation, FoMod Configuration & Uninstallation
I suggest you use a mod manager, such as Vortex, to install this mod and its dependencies (see Requirements button above). The mod manager should detect the FoMod file and let you choose which NPC's you want. To uninstall, you can simply use the mod manager. However, once you save a game using one of these NPC's, best to not delete this mod unless you also delete the saved game(s).
Mod Conflicts
The wig is necessarily part of a new Outfit record. The NPC's Actor record references the Outfit record. This mod will conflict with mods that have also modified the NPC's actor record. (A face is also part of the Actor record.)
If you want this mod to win conflicts, be sure to have is late in the load order.
FAQ
Q. What if I want to change one of the women's wigs?
A. I have written 2 wig replacement mods which you can use to add/change wigs on standard adult human female NPC's.
Q. What body types work?
A. Many types should work (see the Xing Wigs page). I use CBBE 3BA (3BBB) and that is the body type used in the screen shots.
Q. What if I want to change the wig's color?
A. Hair color is controlled by her Actor record (Creation Kit, SSEEdit) and RaceMenu. If using CK, sure to use CTRL/F4 to resolve the Dark Face bug. Also, I suggest you don't change the hair from Redguard 3 because wigs for Xing rely on that to look normal.
Q. Do I need to run Bodyslide?
A. You don't technically need to but I very strongly recommended it. (You will need Bodyslide to zap the bra, if that is what you want.)
Q. How do I report a bug?
If the problem is the wig color changes, that's a Racemenu issue.
If the problem is physics, please report there. (I often read the Faster HDT-SMP posts.)
If the problem is invisibility, that is a known bug in the Anniversary Edition but the fine people over at Faster HDT-SMP are attempting to craft a work-around once they better understand what is happening.
If you otherwise find a bug, please verify that nobody has reported it before you. If you are first, you can use the Bugs tab to submit your report. Please be sure to provide details such as if you just started a new game or updated an existing game. If you updated an existing game, please let me know if you've already been in the cell with the NPC or not. If you removed this mod (hopefully via mod manager), it would help if you would report what the NPC looks like from the last save game before you installed this mod.
If the bug is the "dark face" bug, that could well be my mistake especially if you find it during the first week or two after this mod is published. Please let me know which NPC. However, it might be caused by a problem with your mod load-order. If a mod loaded the Actor record after one of my mods, that could cause a "dark face" that I can't fix. (Still, I might be able to help.)
In closing, please be aware that writing mods is my hobby, not my job.
Q. One of the wigs, um, wigged out! (Got stretchy.)
A. I haven't seen that problem since Faster HDT-SMP replaced older HDT-SMP. I can't fix it (it is a physics problem) but I might be able to help with countermeasures if someone lets me know about it.
Q. What makeup are the women using in the screenshots?
A. Fair Skin Complexion
Q. Would you consider making a mod with different wigs and/or clothing?
A. Yes.
