Writer’s of Night City Proudly Presents
Slightly darker vanilla hair colors
Who the hell are the Writer’s of Night City?
A small collective of Cyberpunk 2077 fanfic writers and OC lore enthusiasts. I started the Discord server sometime in December of 2023 after I completed NaNoWriMo writing my OC x OC longfic (currently working on the rewrite). Since then, it has grown into a lovely, creative space where we are all able to be as unhinged as we want about this game and our OCs as much as we want. With no egos, no cliques, no unwritten social rules, we try to exemplify the idea that fandom means community.
This hair color pack was created as a dedication to them. Each color is named after an OC created by someone in the server.
Note regarding black carbon: All I did was adjust sliders down a little. If you're looking for a pitch black, I recommend Vesna's Actually Black Hair Color. She also made a great edit of the platinum: Actually Platinum Blonde Hair Color.
How do I install it?
Place the all-in-one .archive or the .archive of the color(s) of your choosing into archive/pc/mod or download like normal using a mod manager.
How do I uninstall it?
Remove the all-in-one .archive or the .archive of the color(s) of your choosing from archive/pc/mod or uninstall via your mod manager. For CCXL, remove the .archive, .xl, and .yaml files. The naming convention is consistent, you’re welcome. Just search for "ratstick_slightly_darker_ccxl"
