📋 About This Mod

What is this mod?

This mod adds more colour choices for Skins (usually from experimenting to see what values do what) Including some with dark veins showing vividly. Inspired by BtVS Dark Willow.

But sadly since some heads "Veins" aren't veins in their textures the Dark Willow inspired ones won't look right for each head. Some examples of where the veins don't look right are in the gallery. Sadly nothing I can do material wise but you can edit the Blue Channel of the HMVY texture to edit the "Veins." I'm not really too great with face textures though but if anyone wants to make a separate mod page where you edit the veins and link here I am more than happy with that.

Here is a guide on Face and Body Textures
