Copy DNA

Description
This is a extremely simple mod.

By adding a new character interaction, you can now copy the DNA from another character to your ruler. So you and the target will basically look like twins.

Note that this mod can only copy inheritable DNA, which doesn't contain hair, beard, clothes, etc. But you can customize those in barber window.

Updated:
Now you can paste your dna to anyone.

(I can't find a way to use ruler designer and paste DNA properly after a game starts, so this is the only way I can figure out to overhaul DNA in game.)

Is there a way to use this to just grab a copy of an NPC's dna to paste later into a new custom character?
CKIII apparently lacks the most common sense things and there's apparently no mods that fix these things either (like the ability to create and start with custom cultures and religions, which you think would be in the base game).

Also, the mod is bugged now, using it changes DNA of the player character as well.

@rush1993 Ruler Designer DNA is called "Persistent DNA", while the one used in-game is DNA String. The only tool to convert one into another is built-in PortraitEditor which you start from the console. So the functionality is in game, you can convert Persistent DNA into DNA String and paste it in-flight, but I don't know how to do it in mod. If you allow pasting DNA from outside (i.e., from clipboard) in your mod, one would be able to convert it manually using PortraitEditor.

@DustDevil I haven't tested it in Princess of Darkness, but they have entirely different DNA format (they have a set of DNA settings for disfigurements mostly for Nosferatu and such). It might work though, if the mod copies entire DNA String and then just replaces that in another character. If mod copies just standard DNA settings then it wouldn't work.

Compatible with Princes of Darkness?

For whatever reason, whenever I copy another person's DNA, it changes my character's appearance, even before pasting.

@onehandedclapper now you can paste DNA!

What I've done is use Ruler Designer Unlocked so I can use it even after the game starts, choose a minor count that is insignificant to edit, copy & paste the DNA and save, then I go back to my own character and use this mod to copy from that minor count I edited. It's a drag but it works at least.
