Compatibility notes and known issues
Apparently not compatible with the HF version of the mod that replaces the ponytail.
From what I've read, replacing the HF ponytail hairstyle doesn't work properly in Trespasser. I don't know about other DLCs, though.
This particular hairstyle has a lot of normals that get flipped once imported into Mod Maker, resulting in horrible black/weird shadow surfaces. This is a well-known issue with no known fix, so I've done my best to hide them.
Speaking of normals, the shadows look a little funky in some areas (I initially thought it was my fault, but vanilla mesh seems to have the same issue). I've tried many (many) things to resolve this issue, but to no avail. If I find a solution, I'll upload an updated version.
The modified mesh will not appear in Black Emporium, so if you want to change your Inquisitor's hair, just choose the vanilla ponytail. Once you return to Skyhold/Haven (your mesh is set to Ultra) you will be able to see the modified hair. If you have previously edited with any color (hairstyle, makeup, etc.), CLI saves the editor and you may have to edit it again once you change the hairstyle on your computer (opening the character's creator seems to revert the edited color to its original state). Also, if your Inquisitor uses a skin color changer, don't forget to disable it before entering the Black Arcade!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
