True (Hair) Colors V2

Hello everyone,

With this mod, I have adjusted the color selections for hair and facial hair. Again!


The dearth of realistic options in the base game inspired me to create the first version of this mod, True (Hair) Colors. However, while I still think there is value to that mod, there were changes I wanted to make. And because the players using it have likely become accustomed to the new setup, to avoid pulling the rug from beneath anyone a second version has been made, so here we are.

As seen in the images above, V2 bears a strong resemblance to the first version. The color groups have stayed intact with the order of:

* White
* 3 blondes
* 3 reds
* 3 browns
* Black
* 3 greys
* and 4 tawny [?] / light brown

However, where version 1 primarily scaled vibrancy up or down to create a light-dark shift within each color group, V2 features different hues to offer more variety. While most of the colors are different from V1, some notable changes include a richer golden blonde, a ginger-y orange, a richer deep red, darker browns, and the return of the base game's black.

If you're already using True (Hair) Colors, give this version a try! If not, I guess you can, too!

* What happens to existing characters when I enable this mod?
- Their hair color will reflect the new selection, depending on whatever ID number they have selected. If the mod is disabled, they will return to their old color. I believe colors applied via an RGB selector mod will stay the same.

* Is this mod compatible with others?
- It should be compatible with just about every mod other than those which also change hair color. In those cases, the mod load order can be changed to adjust which colors are enabled. When in doubt, placing this mod near the bottom of the load order should help.

* Why is it that the same color can look different with different hairstyles?
- Each hairstyle uses a material file which calibrates certain values such as roughness and specularity. These values, among others, can slightly affect color, especially at certain angles. The hair and facial hair included in the Siptah DLC also have a slight tinge of color by default, which is a problem to solve in another mod.

* Is it safe to add / remove this mod mid-playthrough?
- Yes, it should be fine to enable or disable at your leisure.

* Why 4:3?
- It's artistic, you wouldn't understand. And some of the pics would be too big for Steam otherwise.

Feedback, suggestions, criticism, and so on are appreciated.


I hope you all enjoy, and thank you.
