Mod works in WotC. Try following this mod troubleshooting guide:

This mod doesn't function for some reason(WOTC).
I seem to start it by AML and be loaded.
But only the vanilla color can be chosen.
MOD besides the color palette is functioning with no problem.
English isn't good, excuse me.

@Ripped R2
Dunno, mate. For me the program's worked like a charm since I started using it in about March 2016. If you've installed it in Pogram Files (x86) maybe UAC is interfering, maybe your AV is stopping writes to My Games folders as potential ransomware, maybe there's a clue in AML.log, maybe you're not actually enabling the mods.
Try and get Title Menu Continue Button working, that's immediately obvious if it's enabled. If you can get that going you know you can enable mods.

@Dragon32
Everyone has told me to use AML and every time i download a new version hoping maybe today will be different, it never is. AML launches the default game with no mods against my will or doesn't launch mods at all, even if I spend an hour making sure I'm not using a single thing that isn't explicitly compatible with wotc, no difference. maybe there's something I've missed but every time i check the wiki and every time it gives really simple instructions that feel like a personalized insult for being unable to get it working

I've just recently got back into modding XCOM2 and I can confirm that the mod does function correctly with War of the Chosen. I'm not aware of what other mods might be incompatible except other hair color mods and possibly the old "color switcher" mod.

That said, @Khajiirah, not sure why it would do that. I'm currently running Unrestricted Customization with a ton of Aeronautic mods, so it's not that.

The only real solution I can offer anyone who can't get the mod working correctly is to install "Alternative Mod Launcher" (AML): https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

My understanding is that the release of Chimera Squad and it's 2K launcher basically destroys mod setups and causes a ton of weird issues (the specifics of how/why are beyond me).

Download AML and use it as your PRIMARY METHOD TO MOD AND PLAY XCOM 2.

For me it switches the color palettes with the ones for armors. lol but it works hah

@Ripped R2
For me: enable mod in launcher and play. I don't use the 2K launcher though.

Does someone have the idiots guide to getting this working with Wotc? following the old Nexus guide results in the black hair/randomized palette glitch, and undoing it results in no changes, so idk what to do

@fumusamaral Yeah, I've always hated the lack of shading in hair color in most of these games with customization. Once again, glad you liked it!

@Goth I'm loving it so far, it's incredible how this mod can add more personality to characters.

@fumusamaral I'm glad it worked out for you! Enjoy the mod!

@GothikaGeist it fixed itself (sort of). I believe I might've reassigned them in the character pool for all the characters I had imported, but didn't do it manually on the campaign I had already started xD so yeah, it was actually my mistake. What really bugged me out was that I "imported" my chars by loading an old save and resaving them, so I had 2 different saves to check.

@fumusamar Sorry but you're basically on your own. I've only recently picked up WotC and I have limited experience using the mod tools. You can attempt a fresh save on a new campaign or perhaps reassigning hair colors in the character pool. I would avoid deleting your character pool and starting fresh because there is no guarantee that will solve the issue.

For some odd reason, whenever I load my save file, hair colors change, not randomly (white from the game palette becomes pink from the game palette for example), but 100% of the time. They're all fine on the character pool, but some have been imported from another save to the pool once I reinstalled the game, and said savegame was created before these imports. Any help? Should I just try to start a new campaign to see if it fixes itself?

@Night Light:
Don't use this with any other Hair Color mods, not even the original Vivid Hair Color.
You can only use one, this has loads of hair colours so I'd suggest this one.

Does this include the effects of the other version, or do i need both?

@Bazzy2077

I have no idea, and I'm far too busy with school atm. Also, I don't even own WotC.

Does it work with the Expansion?
Or have you plans in doing an Update?

Haha, I understand. Well if you get a chance, it might be popular when Long War 2 is released. Exciting! But thanks for Ur Great work on this mod.

@Doc_Calm

One day... eventually... :D

Hi GothikaGeist! Would you create/duplicate this for Armor Color?
That would be awesome! I tried to create it & killed my install, total re-install fixed it.
I need to see my troops in top down view, so I want a selection of bright, vivid colors!
The first ~25 default dark dull armor colors, are terrible.
Please Help :-)

@GothikaGeist

I look forward to it already ^_^

@ColtonTheRaven

Nah, Final exams are looming. Gotta focus on that until about mid-December and I'm unlikely to start the whole process again during the Holidays. But who knows? Maybe I'll get bored and at least do some of the prep work ahead of the mod itself. Basically finding the correct color values and deciding how many shades I should have etc.

@GothikaGeist

And I assume that day isn't any time soon?

@ColtonTheRaven

One day :P

Wow this is amazing! Is there any way you could make such a mod for armor colors?

Yo, drop a comment if you get a chance.
It's always nice to know if the mod even loads up for you guys.

Look up.

~~~Compatibility~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't use this with any other Hair Color mods, not even the original Vivid Hair Color.

With that said, this mod still uses the exact same files and filename

Is this complimentary with the original Vivid Hair Colors mod or should we uninstall the orginal mod?
