📋 About This Mod
works with patch 7! :)
description
went scrolling through the game files and was simply curious how some of the colorsets inside them looked.
chose which ones to keep based only on how pretty/interesting i found the set.
(it was not my love for wine festival civilian 02 or gortash bodyguard 003 as characters, shocking i know!)
all of the colorsets (sometimes heavily) tweaked by yours truly :)
