Tintable Piercings

This mod is compatible with Patch 7!

While the vanilla piercing sets are lovely, I've always been bothered by the fact that you couldn't change their color if you wanted a certain look for your character. So, lo and behold, this mod.

WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?

This mod adds all of the vanilla piercing sets (both for humanoid races and dragonborn) as new, standalone piercing sets. This means that the regular vanilla sets will NOT be replaced.

The new piercing sets all have at the start of their names to distinguish them from the regular ones, and, as you've probably seen from the description, are colorable through the Horn color and Horn tip selection menus. Some of the textures have also been upscaled for better detail and definition.

The Barbarian Wildheart piercings are NOT included and they likely won't be for a while.

This means that if you're playing with a character who also has horns, the horn/horn tips will be the same color as the piercings. So, far I haven't found any other way of making the material tintable, so I probably won't be changing it (so please don't ask me for it).

If you're using any custom race mods like Flutter and Whimsy (Fairy Race) , where any bonus customizations are also affected by the horn color (for example, in the case of Flutter and Whimsy, the face shimmer and wing colors, as demonstrated by the gif below), it's the same. Once again, I am NOT changing it.

HOW TO INSTALL (AND UNINSTALL)

You need Mod Fixer,  Improved UI, and P4 Horn Makeup Lip and Tattoo Colours (Custom and Vanilla) for this mod to work. P4 Horn Colours isn't a hard requirement per se, but it will unlock the horn CC category for non-tiefling characters (allowing you to color the piercings), so if you're planning on using this for any other race, PLEASE download it before you think this mod isn't working. It also adds a lovely array of new colors for you to use on your piercings!

I highly recommend installing this with the BG3 Mod Manager. You can technically use Vortex, too, but there might be some issues; so, if in doubt, use BG3MM. I can't provide any help or support with installing this mod through Vortex or manually, since I don't use these methods myself.

To install: Download the .zip file, extract it, drop the .pak file onto the BG3MM, move it to the Active Mods column, and you're done!
