📋 About This Mod
H A R D W A R I L Y (advb.) In a way pertaining to hardware. “The system is hardwarily unreliable.”
A set of random vibes-based FAFO CCXL hair profiles made in Blender by me. I was testing out the updated tool because I heard the rendering was better! Blender is no longer a lying hussy about what the colors look like compared to what they’ll look like in game but she’s on THIN ICE.
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. You are free to convert any of my colors into replacers. You can use this guide I wrote to do so.
Unzip into your game folder or install via mod manager.
Remove the .archive, .xl, and .yaml files. The naming convention is consistent, just search for “ratstick_hardwarily_ccxl”.

How come I can’t scroll the list in the character creator?
This is a known issue with Appearance Change Unlocker after the 2. 2 update. Just remove the .archive file from that mod. Your preset saving and loading will still work, the only thing that won’t is the vanilla “Randomize” function.
The hair color shows up black/white I don’t think it’s working.
CCXL hair colors only work on vanilla and CCXL hair due to how CCXL hair standardized the materials. Please feel free to create a replacer hair color using any of my hair profiles! I even made a guide to help.
Can you make x hair color?
Can I use this in an NPV/NPC+?
Yes! I made a guide to walk you through how to grab the .hp and put it into your project.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (30k downloads, 47 endorsements) — people are grabbing it even if they don't rate it
- MCH compatibility means it works with popular hair mods, so it's not a standalone island
- Author actually made these in Blender, so they're custom-crafted, not just recolors
⚠️ Cons
- Only 10 colors — if you're looking for a huge palette, this is a drop in the bucket
- No screenshots or previews in the description, so you're flying blind on how they look in-game
- Last updated Feb 2026 — could be stale if the game's had patches since then
For players who use CCXL hair and want a few extra color options without overhauling their whole game. Skip if you need a massive color pack or don't use CCXL at all.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have CCXL installed first, or these colors won't show up
- If you use MCH, double-check that the compatibility patch is active in your mod manager
- Since there are no previews, test the colors in character creation before committing to a playthrough
