Extra Dyes for the Fashionable Folk of Faerun


UPDATE v1.5:
Adds 9 new dyes! (some are fall-themed bc they were supposed to come out months ago... oops.)
New (kinda ugly) custom bag icon AND!!! 🥁🥁🥁
Added custom icons for each of my dyes! Finally!
- Kinda hard to see in the teeny icons, but if you hover for the tooltip, you should be able to see each bottle has the three main colours of each dye on the label! I tried my best. (':
Bag should now auto-filter any dyes you pick up (including vanilla and modded dyes).
Added Quartermaster Talli as a vendor, per request.
If you're using Bags Bags Bags Reforged, you should be able to add my dye bag to their dye container. Can't confirm if it works since I don't use their mod, but it should.

Description

Adds a whopping 42 new dyes to the game!
All dyes are unlimited use, so you only need one of each.

I originally made this mod for my friends and I, as I was pretty disappointed in the dye options available in the game. I love being able to customise my characters in games, because if I'm not saving the world in style, what's the point?? 💁
Because of that, these colour schemes will be pretty self-indulgent, but I thought I'd share here for others who may like them, too.

I've tested this mod and everything works fine for me, but if there are any issues, please let me know!

This one was for my personal use, but figured I'd leave it in for others who may like this specific gold/black combo.

You may alter this mod for personal use ONLY. Please do not reupload or redistribute any parts of my mod as your own.
I know they're just colour schemes, but I do put a lot of effort into choosing specific colours and shades, and making sure they're properly conveyed in the game.
Feel free to use the combos as inspiration, though!
And of course, do not use my custom assets and images as your own.
