Modern Character Creator

◆ Modern CC ◆

Modern CC is a complete character creator and editor for your pawns, dressed in the flat, dark Modern UI style. Open it from the vanilla Create Characters page, or from a button on the bottom bar at any time. Every part of a pawn becomes an editable tab shown on a live preview stage, and nothing changes for real until you press Apply. Fully standalone, with Harmony as the only requirement.

✦ Every Tab, Your Layout

• Modular tabs: appearance, story, traits, skills, gear, health, needs, thoughts, relations, abilities, and more, each as its own tab.
• Toggle and reorder: turn modules off or drag them into the order you like in the modules manager. Pick a single paged row or a classic multi-row layout.
• Roster search: find any pawn across the colony, animals, the world, and the dead, with a match glow as you type.

✦ Live Preview, Full Safety

• Draggable stage: watch your changes on the pawn as you make them, framed full body or bust.
• Undo, redo, revert, cancel: experiment freely. Nothing is committed until you apply, and any step can be rolled back.
• Balance mode: an optional point budget so edited characters stay fair. Skills, passions, and traits cost points, while looks and story are free.

✦ Faces with Facial Animation

For colonists using Facial Animation, Modern CC adds a dedicated Face tab.

• Every face part: choose heads, brows, lids, eyes, mouths, and skins from a thumbnail grid, with addon packs tagged.
• Eye colors: set each eye on its own, heterochromia included, with copy, random, and random odd options.
• Default expression: freeze a resting face, from stern or worried to happy, sad, and crying. The pawn still blinks and moves its eyes, still reacts to real events like combat and pain, then settles back to the face you chose. When a job needs the mouth or brows, that part animates for the work and returns to rest afterward.

✦ Gear, Your Way

• Color each piece: every equipped item has its own color swatch. Click it, choose any color, and that one piece recolors live on the pawn, for free.
• Change the material: swap the stuff an item is made from, from cloth and leathers to woods, metals, and stone. Armor, value, and the rest of the stats update to match.
• Quality and condition: set the quality and hit points of any piece.
• Full loadout control: add apparel, weapons, and inventory items from a searchable browser, remove anything, or reroll the whole outfit.

✦ Backstories, Presets, and Random

• Custom backstories: write your own childhood and adulthood, with skill gains, work restrictions, and an icon. They become real backstories you can reuse.
• Presets: save single pawns or whole squads, then load them onto new colonists. Pawn string import is supported too.
• Randomize: reroll the active tab, the whole pawn, the pawn while keeping gender, or just the gear.

✦ Dead and New Pawns

• Edit dead pawns and bring them back.
• Generate brand new pawns from scratch.
• Heal everything, and skip a pawn anywhere on the map.

✦ Traits and Icons

• Trait rarity colors: traits are tinted by how rare they are, in both the pawn list and the browser.
• Icons: trait and backstory icons appear when Trait and Backstory Icons is installed.

✦ Mod Integrations

Each integration is its own tab that appears only when the matching mod is active.

• RimPsyche: personality facet editing.
• Vanilla Races Expanded - Android: components and awakening.
• Progression family: proficiencies, mental stability, trauma, and integrity.

Mods that shipped editor windows for the old character editor are hosted automatically as native tabs.

✦ For Modders

Add your own editor tab from any mod with an EditorModuleDef in XML and a small EditorModule class in C#. Third party tabs are sandboxed, so they can never block apply or corrupt a pawn.

✦ Requirements and Compatibility

• Harmony (brrainz.harmony), the only dependency.
• Safe to add to existing saves.
• Every integration activates only when its mod is present, so nothing breaks without them.

✦ The Modern Family

Modern CC shares its look and feel with the rest of the Modern UI suite, for one consistent interface across your whole colony.

✦ Localization

Fully translatable. Interface strings are keyed, so a translation is just a new language file. English is included.

My Quality Commitment:

• Fully Tested: Every feature and line of code has been thoroughly tested in-game to ensure it functions as intended and integrates smoothly.
• Active Support: I am fully committed to maintaining this mod. If you encounter any bugs, compatibility issues, or unintended behavior, please report them in the comments or a dedicated discussion thread.
• No Abandonware: I will actively patch, refine, and update this mod to keep it working and up to standard.
• No Coffee: I will never ask for donations for AI created / assisted mods. I share these in the hopes they spark joy for someone, making AI generated content and then begging for money that could go to artists and people more deserving is NOT responsible AI usage.
