About this mod
Makes it so Umberlee hair accessories are still gold on the subraces that change the color. Also has a version making them all silver.

The accessories in the Umberlee hair style use a material (HUM_F_ARM_Nightsong_A_Body) which is colored with the Color_01/02/03 parameters (typically used in underwear; the metals in this particular material use Color_02). Some player character visuals override those parameters, hence why the hair accessories may appear silver/green/blue/etc. on certain characters instead of gold.
Prior to Patch 7, this was fixed by disabling the Color_02 parameter in the affected entries.
In Subrace Fix version 1.1.0 (made with the toolkit for Patch 7), I instead had to make the entries use a custom material preset for 02Colour where the Color_02 parameter is removed.

This mod overrides the follower player CharacterVisuals:
- Half High Elf (female + female strong)
- Half Drow (female + female strong)
- Forest Gnome (female + male)
- Deep Gnome (female + male)
- Shield Dwarf (female + male)
- Strongheart Halfling (female)
- Lightfoot Halfling (female + male)
If you have Unique Tav (minimum version 1.5.0) and/or Eyes of the Beholder (minimum version 2.8), then you do not need the Subrace Fix file version*! Kartoffels and Labotor were kind enough to disable Color_02 in the appropriate entries in their mods so that I wouldn't have to make patches of them. <3
* = Not yet tested by me on Patch 7
Now updated for Patch 7!
Also requires the Subrace Fix version in order to work properly on all subraces/body types!
AND AGAIN, DO NOT DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.1.0 IF YOU ARE NOT ON PATCH 7
Unlike the Subrace Fix version, this changes the material entry of the Umberlee accessory so that Color_02 is not enabled (rather than editing player subrace entries). While this means that it is compatible with UT and EotB, it also means that anything which uses that specific material will also be impacted. As far as I can tell, the only things that use the material are:
- HAIR_HUM_F_Umberlee (used by npc Allandra Grey; her preset already makes the accessories silver on her though)
- ARM_Nightsong_A_Body_OLD (an outfit not currently used in the game)
- CLT_Shar_Underwear_A (aka Shadowheart's underwear, which seems to come from the old Nightsong outfit)
- ARM_EPI_Robe_Shar_Body_A (one of Shadowheart's epilogue outfits; the material is used specifically in the necklace, which comes from the old Nightsong outfit)
So I personally believe that it's an easy trade-off. If you would rather those things not be impacted, however, I will keep the old silver version (which edits the player subrace entries) available to download, just note the three subraces that it doesn't work on (I never did figure out how to fix that).
Install the pak version like any other pak (drop it in your mods folder or import it in your mod manager).
Should be able to safely uninstall at any time since it doesn't add or remove anything, just changes color.
