Eccentric Tech - Cosmetic Modifications
Originally posted by [b]Cryptosleep Revival Briefing[/b]:
Across the long history and thousands of cultures of humanity, people have applied a dizzying array of modifications to themselves. Some were created to adapt people to a specific environment. Others were made to create better soldiers, pilots, or generals. Some were engineered to satisfy a bizarre fashion trend in a society where bioengineering is available to anyone with money.
Craft and install cosmetic implants in your colonists to alter their appearance!
Mod Contents
Eccentric Tech - Cosmetic Modifications adds 24 different cosmetic implant sets, including various different feline, canine, and other ears and tails! These implants can be crafted at the Nanoassembly (from Eccentric Tech - Core) and require advanced components, nanoweave, and/or plasteel. Cosmetic implants can also be found in exotic goods trader inventories.
Cosmetic sets can also randomly generate on NPCs, with commonality that can be configured in the mod settings!
Direct Application
Cosmetic modifications can be added directly to starting colonists via dev mode or using [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3219801790]Pawn Editor[/url] or [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1874644848]Character Editor[/url]:
* The dev mode option Add Cosmetic Set can be used to apply a preset all at once.
Alternatively:
* Ears and twin horns should be placed into the respective Left Crown or Right Crown body parts.
* Single horns should be placed into the Front Crown body part.
* Tails should be placed into the Tail Bone part.
Mod Compatibilty
Cosmetic Modifications is compatible with [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=839005762]Humanoid Alien Races[/url]. By default, only humans are automatically patched for compatibility, but you can add additional bodies and races for support in the mod settings! Any humanlike race should be compatible, but ones with heads that match vanilla silhouettes will have the best compatibility.
As Cosmetic Modifications patches humanlike BodyDefs with additional cosmetic body parts, it should not be added to or removed from a game mid-save. Installing [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2921585989]Mid-Save Saver[/url] prior to installing and enabling "Fix body mapping" may mitigate the chance of problems occurring, but please do so at your own risk.

If [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2552623545]Eccentric Tech - Core[/url] is installed, then Cosmetic Implants can be researched to allow said implants to be crafted at the Nanoassembler.
Cosmetic Modifications has been tested with a large variety of hairstyle mods and should be compatible with the vast majority of them. However, hairstyles that are particularly slim may cause visible gaps. Please check out [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2715130363]my hairstyle collection[/url] for the mods that I have personally tested!
Biotech Compatibility
Cosmetic Modifications has no problem working alongside Biotech or any other DLC, and offers an alternative pathway for adding cosmetic additions to colonists!
[b]Please do not ask for a Biotech version of Cosmetic Modifications.[/b] There are plenty of existing alternatives, and the entire point of CosMods is to add a tech-based cosmetic alteration pathway that does not require genes or alien races.
