📋 About This Mod
2023 UPDATE: This mod isn't broken, ModEngine is. The RCA patch to DS3 broke compability with ModEngine and there hasn't been a fix, meaning that as far as I know the only way to use this, or any other mod that requires ModEngine is to downpatch the game's exe, here's a video to help with that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvCL-oXRW9Y Another way to make this work while (I believe) still having online access would be unpacking the game using UMX and not use ModEngine altogether. The way this mod is made allows you to simply drag and drop to replace the unpacked game's files no problem.
This makes it so hair colors have actual color to them instead of every color being a variant of muddy grey, the character creator still has it's issues, but this at least remedies the hair colors, meaning you can have any color you wish.
This includes hairs, eyebrows, beards and eyelashes! (the latter not being present in the original Better Hair Colors mod)
Installation:
Just install Mod Engine and drop it in your mod folder
This mod ports Better Hair Colors to Mod Engine, replacing the outdated iGP11 version, and tweaks beards to reduce patchiness without a full rework. It's for Dark Souls 3 players using Mod Engine who want improved hair and beard visuals.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 257 endorsements and over 4.5k downloads.
- Modernizes a popular mod by moving it to Mod Engine, which is more current than iGP11.
- Beard tweaks offer a middle ground between vanilla and the full Beard Fix overhaul.

For Dark Souls 3 players who use Mod Engine and want more hair color options without dealing with outdated iGP11.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Mod Engine is properly set up before installing this mod, as it requires the mod engine to load.
- If you're using other mods that alter hair or beard textures, check for conflicts in the mod load order.
- Since the mod is from 2020, test it with your current game version; if it crashes, you may need to use a mod compatibility patch.
