📋 About This Mod
Ported from Original source - Hair Colour Sync created by jg1 under MIT license
Please endorse the original mod for their amazing work.
This mod will automatically apply any character's hair colour to any item they wear which has a Hair Tint shader. Like a wig. It affects both the player and NPCs, and it affects items worn in any slot. The colour swap is injected into the native equip procedure, so it happens instantly.
A feature like this is already included in RaceMenu, but that will sometimes carry over colour from the wrong person. Mine is a new implementation which does not depend on RaceMenu in any way, nor does it use any of their assets or source code, but they have been a source of inspiration. I haven't noticed any conflicts between the two, but if you want to use my mod alongside RaceMenu it would be safest to disable their feature by setting bEnableTintHairSlot=0 in skee64.ini.
