About this mod

3 new skin tone packs for the ME3 character creator. One for warmer toned skin, one for darker toned skin, and one that matches the skin colors from ME1.

Permissions and credits
I can't be the only person who was bothered that the skin tones in ME3 were like, 10x lighter than the ones in previous games, right?

I did some digging in the game files, and figured out that they didn't actually change the skin tones. The lighting got bluer, which washed out the color, creating a lighter effect. So, I played around with the blue values and created the warm skin pack. And then I was like, why stop there? So, I pulled some screenshots from ME1 and made a pack of skin tones that matched them as closely as I could. And then I was like, why stop there? So, I made a pack of darker skin tones for all your dark skinned Shepard needs. And I'm not planning on stopping there, so keep an eye on this space for more additions to the character creator. I'm planning on tackling eye and hair color changes next. If you've got a request, make a comment and I'll consider it.

These skin tones only apply to your Shepard, they don't change anything else in the game. 

For other modders/those of you who would like to add CC skin tones of your own, the character creator colors and values for ME3 are found in BioP_Char.pcc, under BioChar_Player. In ME2, they're found in BioP_Char.pcc, in Main_Sequence, under BioSeqAct_ShowCharacterCreation, under SFXMorphFaceFrontEndDataSource. In ME1, they're found in \CookedPC\Maps\EntryMenu.SFM under BIOG_2DA_CharacterCreation_X.
