📋 About This Mod

What is this mod?

I’d been working on some salt and pepper colors and got inspired to make some faded versions of the vanilla hair colors. The vibe I was going for is box color after a few washes, a few too many weeks between your color touch up.

Note about CCXL hair colors: These only work on CCXL hairs and vanilla hair. Replacers will look blonde or black, or there may be texture weirdness. These are not bugs I can fix. Do not report them as such.

Feel free to upload your pics! I love to see my hair colors in the wild :3

How do I install it?

Unzip into your game folder or install via mod manager.

How do I uninstall it?

IMPORTANT: Change to a vanilla or other CCXL hair color not from this mod before uninstalling.

Remove the .archive, .xl, and .yaml files. The naming convention is consistent, you’re welcome. Just search for “ratstick_faded_glory_ccxl”.
