📋 About This Mod

This mod is not updated anymore. I made it as a holiday project and I don't have time to update and further develop it, I am sorry. So use at your own risk, it should still work in most cases, but I imagine you'd run into errors especially with male Vs. There's another mod where you can carry over the appearance from save to save so you just have to make a new character and move over the appearance. I suggest you look into this option rather than using my mod :)

Thank you so much for your support until this point, wouldn't have never dreamt of my first mod being that popular! ❤️

I probably won't be able to wirte a lot of code since I'm back at work since this week (this mod was more like a holiday project for me). Use this tool instead: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/718!
