Viconia DeVir 3

November 12, 2018

Now I felt like I was getting down to the wire, and it was time to make some final choices on hair, outfit, and so on.

First, the hair:

See all that yellow? No good.

Now, there’s several ways to make an NPC’s hair white in-game. The first is to wear a white wig. The second, to wear a hairstyle that has a texture that’s been color-adjusted or that’s pulling from a different set of textures than the vanilla hair. And, of course, the third- which is to add a haircolor to the mod and to the formlists and to the race records for the NPC.

That last bit is a lot of work.

So, I used wigs to trial a lot of hairstyles.

While some of these were a whole lot of nope, there were others with possiblities but many of them seemed like maybe a bit too much work for a woman who’d be having to rinse out the ichor and blood spatter out on a regular basis.

I tried a few other styles, most of which did not come in white:

On the top, Viconia does space opera rock; on the bottom, Viconia wants to speak to your manager. Brr.

I didn’t like any of these at all.

Thankfully, there is Ponytail Hairstyles and Ponytail Hairstyles Recolor, which neatly solved all my problems. The base hair texture on the recolor is colorless, which means no more yellow.
