📋 About This Mod

Adds extra customization to eyes in the character creator; unlock glow, change the pupil to various shapes or use extra available color options. This mod also encompasses some experimentation, including custom eye designs. Template + guide

...that's where beauty is in, right? ✨

See list of compatible mods below. Also now included a template + beginner-friendly guide for creating custom eye presets!

What is this mod?

To explain briefly, the eye colors in Character Customization have limited versatility. Meaning the eyecolor options can currently only edit exactly this; the eyecolor (and some misc parameters). Yet, the same red eye color looks different on a Human than it does on a Tiefling - because of the difference in eye textures used. Meaning if you give a Human said Tiefling eye textures, for example; they can glow!

Essentially what I've done is created a masterfile that replaces the eye material on all the heads, but only within CC (currently only for players, not guardians) - so this won't affect any NPCs. Because of this all you have to do after is simply install and load any chosen eye preset, and all the heads in CC will now be using this one - and these are easily swappable too. To be clear; this replaces ALL the eyes, it is literally impossible to make picking and choosing available to end-users.

How to use

Main file

Install this one first - if your heads in CC show up with fully black/white scleras, then it's working and you're ready to install an eye preset! Always keep it loaded before any of the eye presets. If used in tandem with compatible custom head/race mods, load those before this mod. This mod functions as a replacer - uninstalling it will revert the eyes back to vanilla.

Eye Presets

Note: Only install one of these files at a time, as they overwrite each other. You can switch them out at anytime.

Glow is seen only in Elf, Demonic and Flame eye colors + my additional ones (and any mods that add custom eyecolors with glow). Pupil changes show in all eye colors. Currently available eye presets:

Regular pupils (glow)

Cat eyes (glow)

Gith eyes (glow)

Iris-less eyes

Iris-less eyes (glow)

Pupil-less eyes (glow)

Abberant eyes (with limited color options)

Abberant Alt eyes

Starry eyes (with limited color options)
