HG Hairdos 2 SSE is a popular customization mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition that adds a massive collection of new hairstyles to the game. It serves as a direct port and expansion of the original "HG Hairdos" mod, bringing high-quality, lore-friendly, and fantasy-themed hair options to the updated engine.
It is widely considered an essential mod for players who prioritize character creation and roleplaying.
Why choose HG Hairdos 2 SSE over alternatives like KS Hairdos or ApachiiSkyHair? The answer lies in its philosophy: Lore-friendly realism meets next-gen polish.
HG Hairdos 2 SSE is a curated compilation of Maxis Match (MM) hairstyles originally converted from The Sims 3’s “Hairdos for High School Gen 2” store set, plus additional styles from Sedona Sims Ensemble. It’s designed for Sims 4 players who want realistic but game-blending hair with subtle movement (strand physics).
One of the hidden gems of Version 2 is an optional NPC injector. While the base mod just adds hairs for the player, the full version includes an ESP that distributes these hairstyles to random, unnamed NPCs (bandits, guards, townsfolk). This dramatically increases visual diversity without editing specific, modded followers like Inigo or Lucien.
