📋 About This Mod
What is this mod?
This mod adds NPC Eye, Skin and Hair colours to character creation.
There are two versions of companion eye colours, so if you use Eyes of Beholder or some other mod that activates Glow for non Tieflings/Dragonborns you will still have the vanilla option with no glow. This means they won't automatically glow, only if you pick the glowing version for the companions.
Compatibility
This mod is now compatible with other mods adding to Humanoid, Fey, Fiend and Celestial race sections. You no longer need my Patches for CC Races.lsx for this mod to work with other mods.
Switching to Latest Version
This mod was converted for use in the Toolkit, so I can further build on it via it. I have tried to make this as seamless as possible for you switching to these new versions.
However when switching to the latest version of the mod please make sure to remove the pak of the original mod from your mods folder. As that mod is now part of this mod thanks to Patch 7
Patch 6 of the mod will remain under old versions.
How do I install this mod?
Place the .pak in your `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods`
Please use either BG3 Mod Manager or the new in game mod manager to enable your mods. You can also use vortex, but due to one I personally don't use, I can't help troubleshoot any issues you may run into.
Thank you for your understanding.
