I know those comments are old, but to everyone wondering why this isn’t compatible with WotC anymore, it is. You have to use Alternative Mod Launcher rather than the default launcher. The default launcher isn’t great anyway, and if you are modding XCOM 2, WotC, or Chimera Squad, you should absolutely be using AML anyway.

would validating integrity of game cache after uninstalling or disabling the mod work?
Swords Oct 1, 2017 @ 7:44pm 
Alright sorry. I take it back.

@Wildling Beard
This mod originally didn't have "WOTC Compatitible" in its title.

@Abaddon: Seriously? No one can be this stupid.
Abaddon the Unholy Sep 12, 2017 @ 6:39pm 
is there going to be a non WOTC version? just asking...
Neowolfen Aug 29, 2017 @ 4:33pm 
Works fine for me with WotC
Rabid Dutchman Aug 29, 2017 @ 2:24pm 
Is there a planned updated for WotC?

The thing I like most about this mod is how it makes new recruits and civilians have ridiculous hair colours. Really great mod!

Today (for the Shen´s last gift DlcPatch) opened the game, and your mod wasn´t working (black colors)... Unsuscribed and Suscribed and worked again fine :creep: Just letting you know...
Memoria May 14, 2016 @ 6:53pm 
Any issues with the new patch?

@a_historian Send me a friend request on steam and I'll try to get your game working all neat and nice again
a_historian May 3, 2016 @ 4:34am 
I have tried your work around. It worked once. I later had to remove all mods after having a problem with a different mod and started over. I had the same problem again with this mod, so I did the work around and this time, it didn't work. I repeated the process three times and even restarted my computer. IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. What gives here. It would have been nice to have extra hair colors but this screws up my game... Can I just remove your mod and go back to the way I had it? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

Thank you!
carmau  [author] Apr 24, 2016 @ 3:47am 
@Kimitri The reason is because my mod purely overrides the vanilla color palettes and Firaxis didnt make it so mods removed their config additions upon being disabled for whatever reason.
Kimitri Apr 23, 2016 @ 3:49pm 
Its my fault for not seeing the instructions in the description. It did fix my problem. Any idea why it does that?
carmau  [author] Apr 23, 2016 @ 1:37am 
@galador83 Sorry for not getting back to you sooner I didnt see your message before another comment was posted, same goes for you as with Kimitri, send me a friend request and I'll do my best to help you out
carmau  [author] Apr 23, 2016 @ 1:36am 
@Kimitri Did following the instructions in the description not work? Feel free to add me on steam and I'll try my best to fix your problem
Kimitri Apr 22, 2016 @ 11:55am 
Same problem. This mod screwed up my game.
galador83 Apr 13, 2016 @ 1:45pm 
The colors dosen't works.
I try to fix it going on the documents and changing the script as you say but nothing happens.
Also I try to unscribe the updates but the problem still remain...
All the hair colors are only black.

Someone help me please!

Those lowkey witcher names back there
carmau  [author] Mar 15, 2016 @ 11:43pm 
@sernik I wish the palettes had been bigger from the get go though
GothikaGeist Mar 8, 2016 @ 9:24am 
No problem man. Who doesn't get dead tired after class? Thanks again!
carmau  [author] Mar 7, 2016 @ 11:54pm 
@GothikaGeist glad you figured it out, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Forgot to reply when I got back from class.
GothikaGeist Mar 7, 2016 @ 10:29pm 
Hey man, I figured it out. I can't believe the only thing I messed up was the ini edit. I didn't realize that it was "upkname.archtype".
carmau  [author] Mar 6, 2016 @ 1:22am 
@Saint Void I'll try to make a tutorial video on how to add colors. problem is that adding them is a real pain in the ass
carmau  [author] Mar 6, 2016 @ 1:19am 
@Saint Void Check out the "Notes" section of the description, if you need more help feel free to add me on steam or hit me up on the xcom subreddit's discord
GothikaGeist Mar 5, 2016 @ 2:58pm 
Hey carmau, could you upload an example file or ModBuddy solution file so I can have a look at how you did this? Tried to figure this out back in Feb for like two weeks.
Saint Void Mar 5, 2016 @ 6:23am 
I found a strange error, when I uninstalled the mod, the hair color selection is broken the hair color selection in all character editing / character pool... It showed 70-something random colored boxes, but nothing can be chosen and every character is stuck with matte black hair. It was only fixed by deleting the entire folder in my documents (save games, character pool, etc..)

Any chance you will me a "natural" hair colors only version? or if not could you direct me to how to create some options myself?

"Ardget 27 Feb @ 7:41am It would be amazing if you could have two different hair colors for facial hair and normal hair on the same soldier! I know many blond people with brown facial hair and it bugs me that I can't recreate them properly in-game."

Fricking yes. I second and third this. Just being able to choose different regions to color would be sooooooo much cooler. Would rly make a character stand out. How about highlights? O.o. That would be awesome too.
Narrelama Feb 27, 2016 @ 4:52pm 
I was puzzled by the limited hair colors available in the first place. Like, the aliens would ban dyes for being a health risk =P
There's a new wepon's mod; a spray can.
carmau  [author] Feb 27, 2016 @ 12:27am 
@Ardget or at least the freaking eyebrows

Cool
carmau  [author] Feb 26, 2016 @ 2:42pm 
@Loxosceles I will look into having that be configurable, I need to find out where the civilians pull their colors from. Don't think distinguishing between rookies will be very possible in the first pass.
Locke Feb 25, 2016 @ 6:08pm 
@carmau I deleted my post about the blue hue I was seeing. Turns out that when you are creating a soldier in the character pool from the main menu all the lights in the armory are seemingly turned off creating a blue haze over everything. My bad.
Loxosceles Feb 25, 2016 @ 5:21pm 
Hi... congratulations on the mod. You added some cool colors, although like other users I had a hard time uninstalling. I finally found the file, did what you described and it worked.

On another note, I would really like to keep this mod. Is there any chance you could keep default colors for civs and rookies? Maybe configurable?

Thanks again and congratulations on your good work.
Christy Feb 25, 2016 @ 3:41pm 
I can't wait till someone comes up with a FACIAL change mod! The basic game is SOOOO restrictive on the facial features of your squad. Same 5 faces for the most part for each race is so stupid.
carmau  [author] Feb 25, 2016 @ 1:09pm 
@Marvie Really happy to know that people enjoy the mods c:
carmau  [author] Feb 25, 2016 @ 1:06pm 
@TK-741 (Sammy) Glad you like it :D

Can finally have a character with decent grey hair. Thank you so much!
Marvyra Feb 25, 2016 @ 10:00am 
That's awesome, thank you! :3
carmau  [author] Feb 25, 2016 @ 7:55am 
@Locke I don't seem to be having this issue, could you provide me with some screenshots?
Emily Feb 24, 2016 @ 7:46pm 
Sweet. The hair colour range was ridiculously limited... the most vibrant brunette colour was faded and greyish, and the closest thing to orange was a weird blonde.
