📋 About This Mod

I didn't think making characters with different-looking eyes was possible until recently, when I came across DarthParametric's re-UV Mapped Eyes. I wanted to try my hand at making my own heterochromatic eye texture, so I took an iris texture I made a while ago, tinkered with the colours a bit, and voilà! Well, it’s probably far from perfect, I'm not exactly the Michelangelo of GIMP and this is the first and only eye I've ever made. Still, I don't think it looks that bad, and since I thought some other people might be interested in having this option available in the character creator, I created six presets that use this texture, one for each race and gender. Aside from the eyes (obviously), they were made using only vanilla assets, so you don't have to worry about downloading a ton of other mods to get them to work.

Note that I tried to stay on the realistic side of things, since cartoonish or super bright colours aren't exactly my thing. The colours look a bit dark in the dimly lit character creator, but as you can see on my screenshots, they look much better in-game (or at least I think they do).

I initially wasn't planning on making the eyes tintable, but I eventually decided to include a tint mask (the iris isn't the same though, mine doesn't look good once tinted). You'll only be able to alter the right eye; the left one can't be tinted. Please be aware that once you've tinkered with the eye colour slider, you won't be able to revert to the original eye texture. If you’ve changed your mind and want your character to have the original texture, you'll have to start over (hope I’m making sense here).

Please note that unless indicated otherwise, the sclera (the white of the eye) you see on my screenshots is not the one that I uploaded here. I couldn't find whether the one I initially used was usable in game mods or not, so I had to find another one. It doesn’t make much of a difference, though.

I also made a small last-minute adjustment to the male dwarf's facial hair; I gave him more chin scruff and his stubble is now uniform (as you can see on the header and toolset pics).

You shouldn’t need to download DarthParametric’s original mod for my presets to look as intended. I did some testing without it installed and didn’t notice anything weird.

Comes in two flavours:

- Option A, which adds my presets to the existing ones. Only choose this option if you already have a chargenmorphcfg.xml file in your override folder and don't mind having to edit it manually.

- Option B, which replaces some of the existing presets with mine. Choose this option if you don't have a chargenmorphcfg file in your override folder, if you have one but don't want to fiddle with it or if you don't mind my presets replacing the vanilla ones.
