This mod restores Jessica's pre-release hairstyle to her model:

BIG thanks to Singa for posting this video on Youtube showing that this is possible.


HOW WAS THIS ACHIEVED?:

Jessica's long hairstyle was unused, but leftover in her CNPC character mesh.
This meant it could be re-enabled by editing her .xtbl/.cvtf.

As her CNPC isn't used in-game, I have modified her NPC and SNPC Preset files to use her CNPC Character.

Please note that Jessica's CNPC model will not read facial animation data. So while her hair is restored, her face will remain expressionless and her mouth will not move.

For more information on Saints Row 2's NPCs, see this guide.

4. Move the newly created contents of "MY_CUSTOM_PATCH" into your Saints Row 2 root folder (Where SR2_pc.exe is located.).
5. Launch Saints Row 2, and play some Brotherhood Cutscenes, or the "Bank Error in Your Favor" Mission!

4. Compile your "patch.vpp_pc" and move it from "SR2ModManager_v2.07\patch_vpp_pc_new" into your Saints Row 2 root directory (Where SR2_pc.exe is located).
5. Launch Saints Row 2, and play some Brotherhood Cutscenes, or the "Bank Error in Your Favor" Mission!

I know it's really basic but always had a thing for women with long hair.
Kinda cool that she has no facial animations as a result tho
This hairstyle does look nicer on her. But she's a trashy character, so I get why it was changed. (It may also have been changed for technical reasons, given that it was changed so late in development).
The lack of facial animations isn't ideal. It's just because CNPCs weren't built for these situations. But as ever with pre-release content, you take what you can get.
