📋 About This Mod
Edit: Currently uses tint ids:
Male: 40192 - 40383
Female: 39937 - 40128
Adds a bunch of face-paints to the character customization screen without replacing vanilla options. Also includes my hair and skin color mod, since they both make changes to the race record.
Since my texturing skills are barely above non-existent, most of these face-paints were made by other mod authors. The texture files are included (with permission), since I had to change the names and put them in another folder so they don't replace the vanilla. Please go download their mods so you can endorse them, since without them all the work I put into figuring out how to add facepaints would be kinda useless.
If there is a facepaint mod you think should be included that I don't have yet, feel free to make a suggestion here. DO NOT BOTHER THE MOD AUTHOR IN QUESTION. Spamming requests to them is likely to do nothing but piss them off and eliminate any chance of them agreeing. As long as you are asking me to include it and I ask them, they will only get one message about it each.
