📋 About This Mod

More redhead hair colors! Hair profiles made by sailorskunk.

Sorry, I was really hungry when I named some of these.

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 can use this guide I wrote to do so.

Unzip into your game folder or install via mod manager.

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, just search for “ratskunk_rhmb2_ccxl”.

      My modding tutorials

      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.

      NOTE: I saw that mod
