Of course, I'm not at all saying it's as easy as swapping things like they do, which is also why it's not a good solution in the long run because you remain with a fixed number of hairstyles just swapping and losing one for another. As a workaround Joe might assign a hairstyle to a specific headgear item to function effectively like a wig, which is not at all something SE is likely to be doing but there's nothing inherently unusual or strange about the race models themselves that would preclude them from having more hair, especially not Viera.

You're spot on about the CC being the most likely problem for Hrothgar though. I'm assuming they can change their fur pattern and colour at the aesthetician since it's in the same spot as hairstyles/hair colour normally go for races without a muscle slider, so I guess for all intents and purposes they have fur patterns instead of hair.

So unless they're thinking about (and it's even a possibility) exchanging the fur patterns with the hair and having fur patterns be Fantasia only instead of the hair or revamping how limited the settings in character creation are, then they're probably screwed in terms of more hairstyles unless they somehow get really creative. And Viera with them if they intend to keep it even-steven between them.

I don't know how happy new fur patterns would make Hrothgar players as they only really show when you're shirtless, but they didn't even add those.
