Late to the party, but I wanted to share that I found a way to change everyone's eye colours permanently (or until you want to change them again)! Like the modder wrote in the description, the mod resets every time you merge your mods, and I'm a person who has to merge my mods rather frequently (because of mods that don't work in the Black Emporium, Trespasser and the transition to Skyhold), so I was really bothered by the fact that I had to check and change the values every time. So I messed around and found a way so that you don't have to manually enter the values you want each and every time you re-merge your mods!
Go to your mods folder, and locate the files you downloaded for this mod. Open the files with any program that lets you edit them (I use Notepad++) and scroll down until you find this line (line 364 in Notepad++):
public void ConstructUI(ModConfigElementsList ConfigElementsList){
Right underneath it you will find the lines that contain the values for the colours. This for example is the line that decides the default amount of red in the inner iris of Cassandra:
What you're going to do now is to change the FIRST of the three numbers. In the line above, that would be number 5. Change it to anything between 255 and 0, but DON'T MESS WITH THE OTHER TWO NUMBERS.
After that, change the FIRST number for the other inner and outer iris colours, which will be right underneath the first line. Do that for all the other characters too, and you'll never have to change the values again whenever you re-merge the mod! Of course, you can change the colours whenever you want, you just have to do this all over again. It takes a bit of time, but it's only once.
Hope this helps, if anything was unclear just ask and I'll try to explain it better! I love this mod btw, the eye texture that I'm using turned every NPC's eye colour to dark grey, and this really helped!
its important to say you HAVE TO use Notepad++ and not have word wrap turned on. if you try to edit mods in regular windows notepad or any other word editor it will break the mod or make it corrupted. you can not open daimods with regular notepad or wordpad and edit them, ever. maybe some people did this and wonder why mod is not working properly or crashing their game.
Wow, reading all these posts after reading a tutorial on how to change eye color, kinda overwhelming... and also, kinda ridiculous, I mean, it's like 50 steps just to change eye color! In Skyrim modding it's a simple dropdown menu, boom, done. I want to say thank you to Toloc, DancingInTheDark, and anyone else who takes the time time figure this stuff out. I'm pretty sure I would never have the patience...
Edit: I've now tried this and it worked to change some of their eyes, thanks to DancingInTheDark's tip. However I noticed a line of code right above the "inner iris" lines that looks worrisome: //Generate textfield and fill them with the data from the file (this does not work) Is this supposed to be there?? It appears in Cullen's file (which I believe did work, hard to tell with Shiny Eyes, but they should have been even more amber), but not in either Josie's or Cass's, which didn't work. I definitely did not see any change in their eyes -- I had changed them to brown, but they still looked default grey. Dorian looks amazing with sexy green eyes, and Leliana with blue! I did not try the others.
Isnt this mod working anymore...? downloaded it yesterday, thought id try it out. I have changed the colour of everyones eyes, but its not working. Looked at everyones eyes in different lightning - nothing. Its a bit strange...
It should be possible to make a version for Coriphius, yes. Last time I checked the support for mod configuration in the modding tools was completely broken though.
After the last patch, I decided to reset all my DA:I mods and finally started playing around with this one. After several hours of testing colors (they don't always show up in game the way I expected and eye texture mods can affect how light/dark the colors appear), I finally got Solas the silver wolf eyes I wanted (per the screen cap).
I just wanted to say thanks so much for the mod, even though I'm clearly late in getting it. If you ever want some additional screen caps for your mods, I'd be happy to help. I'm not skilled enough to actually make mods, but I am great with the flycam.

Also big thank you to Toloc.
