Character Customization Instructions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: The instructions look complicated at first but it gets easier once you understand how the mod works.
What the mod does for each character:
It will first check if the source NPC ID text box, [NPC Copy Source Character ID], is not empty or if it has a valid NPC Character ID. If the ID on the text box is valid, then the NPC assigned with that ID will be considered as the appearance or costume source for the character. If the text box is empty or if the ID is invalid, the selected character on the CharacterManager drop down list, [Character to apply], will be considered as the appearance or costume source for the character instead.
If the character you wish to edit is an NPC, you'll have to assign their NPC Character ID to the provided text box, [NPC # Character ID] first. The NPC list window, which shows up when you click the [Show NPC List] button, allows you to copy the IDs to the NPC ID text boxes. There is a set of drop down list and buttons for each and each NPC has their own set of buttons. The set on column [Character ID 1] is for the character slot, while the set on the [Copy Appearance] column is for selecting the appearance source. The drop down list is for selecting the character slot and the buttons are for the actual copying of the IDs.
For example using the screenshot above, if you click the button under the [Character ID 1] column, Klaus' ID will be copied to NPC slot # 1 because slot 1 is selected on the drop down list above. That will allow you to edit Klaus. If you click the button under the [Copy Appearance] column, Klaus' ID will be copied to the NPC appearance source for the character "Coligne". That means you will be using Klaus' NPC data, appearance or costume, for "Coligne".

[v1.1.0]
Pawn customization enabled. (I don't think enabling the main feature for the player character is necessary.)

***I do not know what the effects of this mod are when you go online.***
Tattoos and scars still do not show up on NPCs.
Changing species still does not work for NPCs (The NPC will not appear if you try).
Can still result to having disfigured NPCs.
I don't know how to fix these. 😿
As reported by LDKSuperDante (thanks!), some body proportions would appear a little off. It seems like this issue is specific to NPCs. I was able to replicate it only on NPCs but I have not figured out how to fix it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[v1.0.4]
I added a 'lock' that makes sure only 1 character is getting edited at a time. This is to make sure editing does not get slowed down, which then should give a more consistent result. However, sometimes this lock does not get released automatically which then results to moving to the next character for editing. I added a button called 'Release edit lock' to fix this. Click this button if it seems like nothing's happening when you enable the mod or when you click the apply or reload button. It's likely that the lock was not released automatically.
I'm getting a bit more consistent results using the default values for the [Near distance] and [edit delay] settings. There are [Set Default] buttons for these settings.
Editing party members (The player character, main pawn, and 2 hired pawns) is still disabled. It is possible but currently the face (facial structure) and the body do not get get updated at all. Everything else, including tattoos and species, gets updated properly. At least from what I have seen. I still had the feature disabled because the game will save changes made to your party members.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[v1.0.0] - [v1.0.3]
*This is a work-in-progress and currently the main feature only works on NPCs*
Copying from an NPC seems to crash the game every now and then (I have not experienced this when using CharacterManager data).
Tattoos (and probably scars) do not show up.
Changing species does not seem to work.
You might need to [Reload] the character while the mod is [Enable]d for them or re-[Apply] if the characters do not show up properly.
You might also need to increase or decrease the value for [NPC edit delay] (under [Other settings]) which applies to the [Apply] button.
Don't make any changes to characters while you're in a conversation. You've been warned! 😸
-
If anyone's wondering what the purpose of the delay timer is, here is my explanation:
Applying edits to characters after they have already been completely loaded / they are already fully visible does not work properly. So, I configured the mod to apply the edits after reloading the character. The issue is that the edits have to be applied at the right time or else the characters' body parts will appear distorted. The delay timer lets the mod know when to apply the edits. The problem is I do not really know how long the delay should be. That's why I added it as an editable setting.
-
The main feature is disabled for the Arisen and pawns because the results are different for them even if I use the same methods I use for the NPCs. The game would even crash every now and then when I try to make appearance edits to the party.
-
Also, I just want to give a warning:
Please keep your expectations low regarding this mod. 😹
Sorry, I am not really good at this. 😹
I'm just guessing a lot of things. 😹
I did not even know what programming language they're using for these mods. 🤦♂️
