CREDITS
Ideas of patching game assets in that way belongs to hypermorphic.
Without hypermorphic's Forger Manager and Player Customizations mod as template, my work will not be possible.
I want to thank all modders who shared information about modding Ubisoft games, especially authors of ACViewer and Blacksmith.

YOUR SCREENSHOTS ARE WELCOME!
All my screenshots were done in testing perpourses, sorry, have no time to make them for mod settings.

DESCRIPTION

=== Alexios Styles ===

Alexios Hairstyle - Any of male/female hairstyle in list can be used.
Alexios Brows - Only Darius and Aita variants work well. All brows from template system for NPC are not visible in cutscenes (I spent much time tring to get them work). As alternative you can use LOD1 of these brows, if their appearance will suite your taste.
Alexios Beard - New variants with no moustache, ShortDense. To turn off vanilla 3D beard use Darius brows (or any custom). Vanilla beard is in same mesh as brows.
Alexios Vanilla Hair Color / Alexios Vanilla Stubble and Eyebrow Color - New colors - black, dark brown, brown, white. Works only on vanilla hairs.
Alexios Age Intensity - The same as in mod of hypermorphic, but added few possible values.
Alexios Idle Mood - IMHO for screenarchery. The same as in mod of hypermorphic.

Alexios Body Skin Tone - Melanin Power (Color) / Alexios Body Skin Tone - Melanin Hue / Alexios Body Skin Tone - Melanin Saturation / Alexios Body Skin Tone - Hemoglobin  These four options are just as they are in game. Main is "Melanin Power" - light to dark tone. Melanin Hue - from rose to yellow hue, visible on light tones. Saturation - better to see in game. Hemoglobin - in max wrists, nose, lips become red.

=== Alexios Head Retexture ===
Alexios Head Smooth Normal Map (NormalMap Retexture) - Remove wrinkles on face, make face smoother.
Alexios Head Smoother Wrinkles (NormalMap Retexture) - Second texture, that influence on wrinkle in emotions. Make face smoother.

=== Alexios Head Retexture Diffuse Map (Select One) ===
Alexios Head Diffuse Map blended with Kassandra /Hermes /Taletos /B03_B01 /B04_B01 - Variants of face texture, to get rid of vanilla sick diseased face. Choose one.

=== Alexios Head Retexture Masks For 2D Painted Brows And Stubble (Select One) ===
Alexios Head Mask No Stubble - No 2D stubble painted on face. Make face clean shaven.
Alexios Head Mask No Stubble No Brows (use with custom brows) - As previous + remove 2D painted brows. It useful if you want to apply custom brows, that not match vanilla 2D brows.
Alexios Head Mask No Stubble No Shadows No Brows (use with custom brows) - As previous + remove eye shadows. Fully optional.

Alexios Head Mask Adonis Stubble, Alexios Head Mask For Leonidas Beard, Alexios Head Mask For Pericles Beard, Alexios Head Mask For Socrates Beard, Alexios Head Mask Clean Shaven, Alexios Head Mask Clean Shaven (slightly darker) - All these masks were partially or fully taken from NPC. See in game what can suit you. Some of masks looks well as replacement for vanilla stubble. Some - with matching beard.

Alexios Body - Smooth and Clean (NormalMap Retexture) - Upscaled with ESRGAN to make smooth with no hairs. If you want more muscles - see mod on Nexus.

=== Kassandra Styles ===

Kassandra Hairstyle - Any of male/female hairstyle in list can be used. Added few new - Young Kassandra is really good.
Kassandra Brows - Few NPC named variants work fine. All brows from template system for NPC are not visible in cutscenes (I spent much time tring to get them work). As alternative you can use LOD1 of these brows, if their appearance will suite your taste.
Kassandra Vanilla Hairstyle Color / Kassandra Vanilla Eyebrow Color - New colors - black, dark brown, brown, white. Works only on vanilla hairs.
Kassandra Age Intensity - The same as in mod of hypermorphic, but added few possible values.

Kassandra Body - Remove Scars Color (NormalMap Retexture) - Very simple retexture to remove brown color on scars. Cleaned blue channel.

=== Shared Body ===

Shared Body Diffuse - Smoother, Shared Body Diffuse - Smoother Less Veins - Upscaled with ESRGAN to make smooth (not perfect). Choose one. This diffuse texture is the one, that have all bodies in game - Alexios, Kassandra, NPC - men and women, young and old. Ubisoft work is fantastic, all have identical moles as clones.
Shared Body Mask - Remove Dirt - Do the same as in mod "Dust Removal". Remove painted dirt from bodies.

INSTALLATION
1. Install Forger manager. Use ver.2.10.
2. Copy files from archive to ForgerPatches folder in your game folder.

The result must be like this:


TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Check that files of mod are properly copied to "ForgerPatches" and textures are in subfolder "zAx_PlayerVariations".
2. In Forger Manager - "Reset All Forges".
3. In Ubisoft / Steam client - check game files. Don't skip this step, Forger Manager can break forge files.
4. If error still present, prepare information that can help to understand what is going on:
Text of error message, mods your installed and which options are active, game version, forger manager version. Steps to reproduce error.

NOTICE
Respect each other. Posts that are not relative to this game or mod with flood or spam will be deleted.
Also I will delete posts like "mod don't work", without info mentioned in TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Take in mind, that retextures options in my mod would work with any textures, even they are from other mods, that were not updated.
You can prepare textures files that you want and just rename them as in my mod, to apply them. If formats are right, it will work.

Requests. I do mods for fun and if have time. But I read all your messages, so maybe.
