Calmer Colors Hair (WoTC Compatible)

Description
After using a mod that randomized the look of rookies, I noticed that too many of them reminded me of deranged cartoon characters. In an effort to tone things down a bit, I made changes to the color palettes related to hair, eyes, and armor for my own games and decided to make them available for other users.


What does this mod do?

This mod makes changes to the games color choices related to your characters' hair customization. All vivid hair colors were replaced with other options. Two (subtle) dyed hair options are available (Purple and Red) along with many more natural color choices. These include two new reds, several browns, and a few hues for your older soldiers.


Compatibility:

Due to how mods are now handled when loading the game, you'll need to use the Alternative Mod Launcher to get this mod to work with WOTC.

This mod directly changes the color palette in the base game so unless you are using another hair color mod, there shouldn't be a conflict. I've been asked about having this mod work with other color mods. As far as I can tell, the only way to modify the color palettes is to replace them with a new version. It's not like other game configuration files where you can add and remove parts.

Note that since this mod changes the color palette, your current characters may be affected. I tried to keep as many of the unchanged color options in their same order but I did move some colors around to keep them grouped.

11/9/18 - Since I was making some fixes to the armor color mod, I thought I would try to include better redhead colors. Two colors have been added to the end of the list. Keep in mind that the hair models use the color choices differently so what may look good on one model may not look as good on another. That's not something I can fix.

Have a small request
could you add the original red hair color (number 17) from original palette

Actually I fixed the issue with the black color in the armor palette a while ago. Hopefully it's not messed up again.

Also, while youre messing with it. Any chance you could add a true black? I had to stop using the armor version because it doesnt have one. Theyre all like.. blue. If not, its totally fine. Thank you for your time c:

Thank you! That sounds great, and ill definitely check out the xcom launcher in the meantime c;

It's been a while since I played and I see they put in a new launcher screen which prevents mods from launching in WOTC unless they are designated specifically for that. There is an "Xcom Launcher" mod that bypasses that and allows you load any mod you want which might be a short-term fix. I just tested it and it works fine. I'm pretty busy with other things right now but I'll see if I can find some time to release a WOTC version in the near future. Thanks for letting me know about it.

I would pay to get these fixed. im js.

This mod, along with the Eyes and Armor versions no longer work. They are greyed out in the mod selection part of the launcher. Nothing happens when i click to select it. I really love these mods and im wondering if you could look into whats going on there. They used to work fine for me in WOTC, but now that is not the case.

These colors are perfect! Thank you!

I just hopped in the character creator and both seemed be working fine. You will see the yellow warning triangle in the mod selection screen but they will still work if you select them.

This one and Calmer Colors - Eyes are not compatible with WOTC.
