📋 About This Mod

Adds the Origin characters' unique hair, eye, and skin color swatches to the character creator. ***Last two mod page images have (out-of-context) spoilers!!***

Made for Patch 5 - Hotfix 17, Working with Patch 8

(I made this forever ago and never uploaded it 😅 Well, now I have!)

Hi!! Have you ever wanted to use the origin characters' hair, eye, and skintone swatches for your own characters? Well, look no further than this very mod!!!

Each origin character has unique eye, hair, and skincolor swatches that are not included in the character creator. All this mod does is make them available again!

This mod is completely standalone, and will work on its own for custom characters. But you can also use it in tandem with Eralyne's Appearance Edit Enhanced: Origins mod, which is actually affected by the missing swatches! And not just when starting a new game; when editing an origin character in the mirror, AEE assigns pretty close matches to their original swatches (it does a really good job of that imo!!), but they aren't the exact same ones. The swatches this mod adds are!

A note when using it with AEE, though: this mod does not assign the color swatches to the origin characters automatically. It just makes the swatches available in the character creator—it doesn't affect any of the origin characters' visual templates or change any code beyond that. You'll have to add them back to the characters manually, but you'll have the original color swatches for each character available to you now!

Color swatches for the following characters are included:

  • []Astarion

    []Gale

    []Karlach

    []Lae'zel

    []Shadowheart

    []Wyll

    From what I can tell, Minthara, Halsin, Jaheira, and Minsc don't have their own unique color swatches, but I could be wrong! If am, let me know, and I'll add their swatches to the mod as well.

    The mod also adds Shadowheart's alternate haircolor to the character creator, which is unique too. Wyll's Devil eye color is not unique, and is already included in the character creator, so it's not a part of this mod! If you're looking for the specific swatch, I believe it's Demonic Red 1.

    I don't think there are any other unique origin character color swatches (at least not that are used in the game; there's a reference to a couple older swatches for some characters, that have since been changed.) If there are, though: again, I'll add them to this mod!

    A note about eye swatches, pupils, and glow effects:

    This mod doesn't affect the pupils or glow effects each head model uses! Karlach and Lae'zel will retain their slit pupils when using the swatches with Appearance Edit Enhanced, and Githyanki will retain their slit pupils for all swatches. Other characters will have round pupils if their model originally had them. Karlach's eye swatch has a glow effect, but it will only be visib
