Author notes
Head/race mod authors have blanket permission to make their own EotB patches - I appreciate being informed about it, but it's not required! Third-party creators have to still ask permission for me to make EotB patches (if hosted on their page instead of the original author's), just so I can be sure permission has been granted by the original authors to do so.

Version 2.4
Main file: added compatibility with 2 head mods and various race mods, see full list on main page.
The Flame Eyes Preset is now defunct - figured out why it wouldn't show the effect as intended (like with Zevlor's eyes). Long story short I had to create my own eyecolors (and after some testing; don't need the Preset itself) so 8 eye color options (white + black sclera) have been to ExtraEyeColors and the Flame Eyes Preset is taken down. See the Images tab for color options and Video tab for animation example.
Version 2.3
Added the Ersatz Eye Removal mod; removes the visual of it but retains the passive, so it just doesn't overwrite eye presets anymore
Aberration Eyes; fixed issue with human skin colors not being selectable
Version 2.2
Added the custom eye preset template + beginner-friendly guide!! Please check it out if you have interest in creating your own eye designs.
Main file: added compatibility with M Half Elf Head E for Other Races (v1.0.0.1), Loulette heads (v1.3), Ellian's and Everyn's face (v1.5), Faces of Faerun (v1.0.1) and Alt Shadowheart Head Presets (v2)
ExtraEyeColors: (hopefully) fixed an issue that caused the human femme skincolors to disappear from CC when used together with other CC color mods
Version 2.1
ExtraEyeColors: Added 5 extra color options (both white + black sclera) that turns one eye into a blind version. See Images tab. Note: DO NOT USE THE FLAME EYE COLORS, they're buggy as hell and cause the blind eyes' look to be overwritten, even if you swap between other colors. To fix it, turn heterochromia on/off - that should reset it again.
added compatibility with New Character Creation Presets WIP (v1.3) and the .pak version of M Half Elf Head E for Other Races (v1)
See list of compatible mods below. Also now included a template + beginner-friendly guide for creating custom eye presets!

What is this mod?
To explain briefly, the eye colors in Character Customization have limited versatility. Meaning the eyecolor options can currently only edit exactly this; the eyecolor (and some misc parameters). Yet, the same red eye color looks different on a Human than it does on a Tiefling - because of the difference in eye textures used. Meaning if you give a Human said Tiefling eye textures, for example; they can glow!
Essentially what I've done is created a masterfile that replaces the eye material on all the heads, but only within CC (currently only for players, not guardians) - so this won't affect any NPCs. Because of this all you have to do after is simply install and load any chosen eye preset, and all the heads in CC will now be using this one - and these are easily swappable too. To be clear; this replaces ALL the eyes, it is literally impossible to make picking and choosing available to end-users.

How to use
Main file Install this one first - if your heads in CC show up with fully black/white scleras, then it's working and you're ready to install an eye preset! Always keep it loaded before any of the eye presets.If used in tandem with compatible custom head/race mods, load those before this mod. This mod functions as a replacer - but uninstalling it will revert the eyes back to vanilla. Eye Presets Note: Only install one of these files at a time, as they overwrite each other. You can switch them out at anytime.
Glow is seen only in Elf, Demonic and Flame eye colors + my additional ones (and any mods that add custom eyecolors with glow). Pupil changes show in all eye colors. Currently available eye presets:
Abberant eyes (with limited color options) Abberant Alt eyes Starry eyes (with limited color options)
Blind eyes
Goat eyes Goat eyes (glow) Full Goat eyes (glow)
Pinpoint eyes Pinpoint eyes (glow)
Dragonborn eyes (glow)
See screenshots in gallery for examples. Check video tab for preview of ones with animations!
Interested in creating your own? Check out TemplateEyes - an eye preset template .zip + beginner-friendly guide! Involves editing code and/or textures, but I've done my best to make it as accessible as possible to even those that have no modding experience yet.
Extra Eye Colors Optional, can be used alongside all other files or on its own. Currently has 19 white sclera options (converted tiefling eye colors), 10 colored sclera options (works best with glow eye presets), 10 blind eye options (works with heterochromia) and 8 bright flame eye options (both white and black sclera - works best with glow eye presets). See screenshots in gallery.
Note: I don't take eyecolor requests for the ExtraEyeColors mod. I highly suggest checking out Padme's amazing P4 Custom Eye Colours - it includes a sample template that will allow you to create your own.
Ersatz Eye Removal Optional. Removes the visual of the Ersatz eye but retains the passive, so it just doesn't overwrite the eye presets anymore. Loose mod, so do not try to install with a mod manager. See instructions below for installation and/or removal.

Compatibility
The mod is generally always compatible with custom head mods that replace existing vanilla heads via loose files - but any .pak mods require me to manually add compatibility to the main file. Below is the list of mods mine is already compatible with, please check the sticky note in the Posts tab for a list of ones that will be added in a future update - feel free to request any that aren't present on either lists.
Also please remind me if one of them gets updated and new heads are added! Please be aware that heads added to custom races via CC patches won't automatically have compatibility with EotB, so these need to be added too.
Some modders may add their own compatibility with EotB (said authors have blanket permission, but I appreciate being informed about it regardless!).
This mod isn't compatible with any other mods that alter the CharacterVisuals player files.
__________________
Installation
The load order using this mod (and head/race mods that have compatibility) should generally be like this:
Head/Race mods > Main EotB/EotB patches > Eye Preset
See Images tab for extra clarification. I recommend you ALWAYS load the EotB (+ UT mods) last!!
Ersatz Eye Removal: Drop the Public folder into [YourDrive]\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data. Uninstall by deleting these files again.

Some issues/bugs
There's some bugs happening with the Flame eye colors in CC, this is an issue on Larian's side - they might cause your eyes to look differently than expected when selected (especially an issue when using heterochromia), it can persist even if you pick a color from a different set.
Switching to a non-Flame color and then switching back and forth from a different head usually resolves this!
If this happens with the blind eye colors from ExtraEyeColors while heterochromia is active, turn heterochromia on/off to reset them to their original look.

If you run into issues trying to install any of the mods - and you're using Vortex - I STRONGLY recommend you switch over to BG3 Mod Manager. Vortex at this point seems to be becoming notorious for bugging out when installing various BG3 mods, and at this point I have to make it a requirement because I cannot help you if you run into issues using Vortex, that is completely out of my hands.
