Oddly the sleeveless dustcoat he spawns with (I think that's the name) clips through pretty much any pants he wears, not sure how to fix that

I didn't realize you were the creator of both. HAHAHA Thanx!!

@Rokem: you have a point heh

@Lucid: i saw your comment on Unique NPCs first, and added a Discussion there with complete instructions on how this is done =)

Thank you for the description on how you made this mod! Did you have to do anything special when you uploaded it to steam? I have a bunch of personal mods that have unique chrs but I when I upload them the unique skin isn't attached. Would love to know how you did it!!!!

It's funnier tho if you think of Hobbs at 32 being an "old man" because the life expectancy on Kenshi is so short. Thumbs up regardless :P

Oh thanks! Now my hobbs can look as cool with this mod on :D

@Zenthium Tsuki V2 ReShade, available on Nexus

What shader are you using? The game looks amazing in that image

@Superfly it has begun, mwahaha

Just Released: Unique NPCs, presets for more random people and fun enhancements to existing boring presets!

@Superfly if you're interested, I went and made a darker-skinned version, link in the desc on this page. :)

or we could just make a mod megapack of every skin tone variation and call it "50 Shades of Hobbs"

.....sorry couldn't resist....

FYI, for the curious - some characters have a set body file, but most - even the named ones - are 100% randomly generated on game start. Their race is set (Shek, Scorchlander, whatever) but the body sliders are all the same as if you had them in Character Creation and mashed "Randomize All" a few times. What I did here was take Hobbs to a plastic surgeon, set him to this appearance, Export the character's appearance to a .bod2 file, then used that file to make this mod and override the "random" setting to use my file instead. So, coming soon: alternate Hobbs is Old and Darker

Thanks! I think I will make an alternate version with darker skin - I usually seem him on the paler side so thought of him as a pasty old barfly. It's funny how the first version you see of a character tends to set it in your mind as the "canon" version, even tho it turns out he's totally random.

My Hobbs always comes off as a young black man. Honestly though old hobbs is a good idea no matter the race, and your version looks pretty good

oh I see, I thougth he had a unique look, I usually find him un darker shades!, sorry for the inconvenience :D

@spacefiddle I know.

....it should be noted that you can take him to any Plastic Surgeon and change his appearance - which is precisely how I created the .bod2 file used in this mod.

lol now you give me idea for new uipload, "Hobbs is Old and Darker" for people who've only seen him come out on the right half of the skintone slider.

I may move this mod to Nexus, it's stupid that Workshop only allows one file per mod.

I looked in the FCS and his body slider, and all sliders, are 100% randomly generated at game start, So he can come out with any Greenlander skin tone possible.

There's even a comment in the thread you linked that says so.

@spacefiddle Hobbs usually darker in most people's games, I think that is what he is getting at.

Uh, coz he's a Greenlander? I don't understand your question.

I like your idea but... why is he white? :c
