📋 About This Mod
!!! DOES NOT WORK ON MAC BECAUSE OF CUSTOM SHADERS !!!
This mod combines my previous mods
More Makeup Tattoos and Scars
Variety Framework
into one big character creation overhaul!!
(This also means that those mods will no longer be maintained, as this mod has both functionalities in one mod!)
This mod doubles the number of makeup tattoos and scars you can choose for your character.
It also adds fresh + scabbed versions for all the scars!
It also allows you to customize your characters more uniquely than ever!
You can set up custom bodies and their textures, as well as body tattoos and glowmaps, to be different per subrace.
This means that you can have a different body, textures, and tattoos on your
Lolth-Sworn Drow and Seldarine Drow at the same time!
(just as an example)
It works on all vanilla heads for all races!!
Support for modded heads and races is being added!
Currently, over 500+ modded heads are already supported, and more are being patched still!
Please check the Articles for a full overview! <3
This mod has NO requirements.
Unlike the previous versions, it does NOT require
Improved UI or Trips' Shader Pack
THIS MOD IS A STANDALONE MOD :D
This mod does NOT work alongside
Extra Scars for Everyone
Tattoos are from: Mouch's Metal and Gothic Face Tattoos and Makeup
Makeup is from: Gothic Makeup Pack
Why these two
Character Creation Overhaul doubles makeup, tattoo, and scar options, and adds body, texture, and body tattoo customization down to the subrace level. It supports all vanilla races and 500+ modded heads, with no requirements. A popular choice for players who want deeper character customization.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge customization boost with double the makeup/tattoo/scar options.
- Subrace-level body and texture customization is a game-changer for character detail.
- No requirements means it's easy to install and compatible with most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 607 endorsements despite 28k downloads—could indicate some users hit issues or moved on.
- Last updated July 2025—if you're on a newer game version, check for compatibility patches.
For RPG players who spend hours in character creation and want more options for makeup, scars, and body details. Also great for modders who use 500+ custom heads and need deeper customization. Skip if you're fine with vanilla options or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- When customizing subrace body tattoos, check each subrace tab—options vary per race.
- If you use modded heads, ensure they're compatible with the 500+ supported list to avoid missing options.
- Since there are no requirements, you can install this mid-playthrough without issues, but it's best to test in a new character creation to see all options.
