Ah, no worries. I did find out that if you make a fresh character, it won't happen for a bit. Assuming it must have something to do with how the mod works with stored character data. Band-aid fix for anyone running into this is to just save a Group for your character pool and re-import the character when you want to make changes.

It's a bug with Appearance Manager that I don't know how to fix.

Hello! Love the appearance manager for the most part. Only thing I can't figure out is why for some reason, when modifying parts in the character pool, it will cause the characters to do a light squat. I'm running both the appearance manager as well as UCR but I'm pretty sure they've already been confirmed to be cross-compatible. Any idea as to what could be causing this?

Nvm I was wrong

PEBCAK.

Uniforms don't work anymore, simple as.

So I'm trying to use this mod's stored appearances to have helmetless variants of my soldiers for use with another mod that keeps their armor on in the Avenger, but I keep running into issues with the stored appearances of whatever is equipped being deleted after missions. Is there a way to make sure this doesnt happen, or maybe a suggestion for a better way of accomplishing what I'm trying to do?

For some reason, when I use this, it causes most of my characters to NOT have any Customization UI in the Character Pool (I'd previously saved Elena "Outrider" Dragunova to my Character Pool, and she was the ONLY exception).

Use Unrestricted Customization Redux.

If I make a uniform but then I unlock a new type of armour. All the units outfits change. How can I apply that Uniform to that armour class?

@Iridar, I found a work-around. Thanks for responding
I was trying to generalise the outfit for both genders, and randomise everything else such as face props and hairstyles without creating specific outfits

Remove them from the outfit?

Using the Appearance Manager (AM), with Unrestricted Customization (UC). Blacklisted hairstyles with UC, and created an outfit with AM. Unfortunately, the blacklisted hairstyles are being applied. Is there a solution for AM to not apply what I have blacklisted with UC?

Forget it.
I read the other comments and saw that it's probably something related to PD and you can't do anything to fix it with your mod.
:(

Anyway, congratulations, your mod is simply the best when it comes to creating uniforms.

anyone having a bug with Project DollHouse?

One of the options keeps flashing, and whenever I try to change something, it becomes extremely large and impossible to change =/
If anyone knows how to solve it :D

Random. When it's time to equip a new uniform, the mod aggregates all uniform units with the fitting uniform for the armor and selects one at random.

Thanks for the answers! A quick follow up.

If I set up 2 uniforms (A and B) for male Rangers, that contain Kevlar and Predator armors . When a unit gets promoted to Ranger and picks Kevlar A. Is the progression to Predator going to be again from the same Uniform A, or is it random for each armor?

1. There's no limit that I'm aware of.
2. You need another mod for that, Unrestricted Customization Redux.
3. Yes, that's how it works.

So I just pulled the trigger on diving into this mod and it is awesome so far. Thanks for all your work! I just have a couple of questions. First off, I am using LWOTC, if that matters.

1. So I set up a general class uniform for one of my classes, and I made a custom progression for a particular character in character pool. I have Titan Armor mod installed. Whatever I do, Grand Titan Armor breaks and does not remember the changes I have made. Is there a cap on how many armors I can save per character?

2. If I want to make a character retain his look, regardless of armor equipped, is there an easy way to do it? So far I tried with my templar, and I had to set up the same look for all armors. Copying did not work. Am I missing something?

3. Can I set up multiple looks for, say predator armor? If I do Predator A unit and Predator B unit uniform for male ranger class uniform. Will Rangers in campaign get assigned randomly A or B variant?

Use Unrestricted Customization Redux with global appearance option enabled.

I have a soldier that looks really cool when wearing the spider armor, but whenever he wears another armor he changes his look completely. I've been trying and I cannot figure out how to make him keep his look without changing it manually every time

It July 15, 2025. This mod is still functioning properly.

Okay, yes, the mod is incompatible. Please don't use my mod, it is incompatible with you.

Or, maybe we just have a different opinion as to how we define "compatibility"? I suppose your obnoxious condescension would prevent you from understanding that.

@Rorschach
Like I said, just don't use that button. UC prevents Appearance Store functionality from working as intended.

@Daddy Takeda
I know the expression, I'm saying it doesn't apply. You said this mod is incompatible with UC. That statement is factually incorrect, which you would know if you (1) read the mod description before commenting like you were supposed to or (2) actually read and understood my reply to your comment.

You never heard the expression "tomato tomato"?

Hi Iridar, thank you so much for responding. Weirdly enough the appearance store does have some functionality in-game as my characters are pulling outfits that are available to them from that menu (and turning into ungodly mixes of cosmetic mods). Is there anything I can do on my end to disable it fully?

Reading comprehension, what even is that?

Tomato tomato.

It's not incompatible with UC, and no, it doesn't include UC's functionality.

I see this is incompatible with 'Unrestricted Customization - Wotc', does it mean your mod incorporate everything from UC rendering it obsolete?

You're not supposed to have access to Appearance Store button while using UC or UCR. If you do, just don't click on it, it's not going to work anyway.

I know Iridar's effectively retired but if anyone has encountered these bugs and found solutions, I would be really grateful for your help!

Running both Appearance Manager and Unrestricted Customization Redux (UCR), and I have encountered two annoying bugs:

1. The Stored Appearance tab is still visible, and when I go through and delete unwanted outfits, the game just freezes which then requires a restart.

2. This is to do with UCR, so I will ask this question on that mod page as well but maybe someone knows what's going on with it. Basically, when I untick the "Global Appearance" box in UCR's Mod Config Menu, I am unable to equip non-tier specific torsos on my characters without the loadout automatically switching to that armor. To illustrate what I mean, I have a character who has Kevlar Armor equipped but I want them to look like they are wearing the Wraith Torso. When I untick that box in the Mod Config Menu as I mentioned, the game refuses to let me equip the Wraith Torso without it also changing the character's loadout item to Wraith Armor.

Copy thanks for the answer, had no idea you were retired mb! Have a lovely day

For some reason it does the first batch of rookies then it doesn't...

Since this mod doesn't modify base game's soldier customization UI, I assume the issue is caused by PD adding its own interface on top of IAM's, this is something that needs to be fixed on PD's side, and not something I could do even if I wasn't in retirement.

@lolmatter0
I doubt there will be compatibility from this side: Iridar's retired.

A question, will this mod ever have compatibility with Dollhouse?
Right now the menus overlap with the standard ones when Dollhouse & it are running

ily

eg for Iridar's mod here just above the title

XCOM 2 > Workshop > Iridar's Workshop > [WOTC] Iridar's Appearance Manager

clicking "Iridar's Workshop" will take you to everything he's ever done

if you look at the top of the workshop pages... there is a "path" ... if you click the authors name in that path, you'll go direct to their portfolio, with all the mods they've made public ;)

Since I have you for a moment, is there anywhere with all of your own mods, Rusty? I usually follow good authors but obviously I can't. Maybe a playlist?

Found it.

Many thank
much appreciate

They are saved as full units in your character pool (actual uniforms) should be under your normal units from the main menu

If you mean an individuals appearance per armour look at "manage appearances" from the armoury of that unit

Is there a way to remove saved uniforms? Not seeing it in-game

This might be a long stretch but could there be any way between this and Dollhouse to be made compatible together by chance? See if both you and the Dollhouse creator could find a way to make it work?

This would help alot as i enjoy each customization mod equally with their pros and cons together, so keep on the good work!

Random Soldier Info doesn't show up when I use this, help?

There's no controller support.

Is there any way to use this mod with controller ?
