Something in these images speaks to me, and it reminds me: I know there's a way to enable proper bearded dwarven women, but I can't remember how it's done.  What do I need to do to make that happen?

DF folder > raw > objects > creature_standard, then ctrl+f beard and you'll find this part:

[CASTE:FEMALE]
      The gender tag lets it know how breeding works.
      [FEMALE]
      [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]
      To add beards, put square brackets around the following:
      BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS

I'm somewhat surprised that there's no Beardpunzel.

Thanks.

If I change that setting and load an existing fortress, will the ladies begin to grow into their hairy heritage?  What about new dwarfs (migrants, newborns, or both)?

[Manveru Taurënér]

Not sure but I think so? You'd have to change it in the same file in your save folder though :>

Awww. Changed settings in the main file and the associated save folder file, and my lady dwarfs are still bald from the ears down.

You should get 'body parts are misaligned, rebuilding' kind of errors in the errorlog. This means that the beard was added, but they still need to grow those and I can't quite understand how the game handles hair growth.
