Make your plugin dependant on the mod that contains the hair you want to use.

To use a custom hair for your NPC there are two available methods: Note: If you want to use a face created using Expired's CharGen Extension mod, check this guide Using a face made with Chargen Extension on an NPC. To be able to do that change temporarily your mouse settings to work for the right hand and once you are done you can revert the mouse settings to the left hand. Note: The preview window doesn't work if your mouse is set for the left hand. In the Character Gen Morphs tab you can change also other characteristics of your NPC's face. You can see the changes in the preview window (check the Head flag to see them).

In this tab you can adjust some of the features of the NPC like hair style and colour, eye colour, etc.

Open the console and type spf + the name of the file where you want the face to be stored (for example, spf MyPC).

Launch the game and load a savegame of the character whose face you want to use.
