@Iridar, I found a work-around. Thanks for responding
I was trying to generalise the outfit for both genders, and randomise everything else such as face props and hairstyles without creating specific outfits

Remove them from the outfit?

Using the Appearance Manager (AM), with Unrestricted Customization (UC). Blacklisted hairstyles with UC, and created an outfit with AM. Unfortunately, the blacklisted hairstyles are being applied. Is there a solution for AM to not apply what I have blacklisted with UC?

Forget it.
I read the other comments and saw that it's probably something related to PD and you can't do anything to fix it with your mod.
:(

Anyway, congratulations, your mod is simply the best when it comes to creating uniforms.

anyone having a bug with Project DollHouse?

One of the options keeps flashing, and whenever I try to change something, it becomes extremely large and impossible to change =/
If anyone knows how to solve it :D

Random. When it's time to equip a new uniform, the mod aggregates all uniform units with the fitting uniform for the armor and selects one at random.

Thanks for the answers! A quick follow up.

If I set up 2 uniforms (A and B) for male Rangers, that contain Kevlar and Predator armors . When a unit gets promoted to Ranger and picks Kevlar A. Is the progression to Predator going to be again from the same Uniform A, or is it random for each armor?

1. There's no limit that I'm aware of.
2. You need another mod for that, Unrestricted Customization Redux.
3. Yes, that's how it works.

So I just pulled the trigger on diving into this mod and it is awesome so far. Thanks for all your work! I just have a couple of questions. First off, I am using LWOTC, if that matters.

1. So I set up a general class uniform for one of my classes, and I made a custom progression for a particular character in character pool. I have Titan Armor mod installed. Whatever I do, Grand Titan Armor breaks and does not remember the changes I have made. Is there a cap on how many armors I can save per character?

2. If I want to make a character retain his look, regardless of armor equipped, is there an easy way to do it? So far I tried with my templar, and I had to set up the same look for all armors. Copying did not work. Am I missing something?

3. Can I set up multiple looks for, say predator armor? If I do Predator A unit and Predator B unit uniform for male ranger class uniform. Will Rangers in campaign get assigned randomly A or B variant?

Use Unrestricted Customization Redux with global appearance option enabled.

I have a soldier that looks really cool when wearing the spider armor, but whenever he wears another armor he changes his look completely. I've been trying and I cannot figure out how to make him keep his look without changing it manually every time

It July 15, 2025. This mod is still functioning properly.

Okay, yes, the mod is incompatible. Please don't use my mod, it is incompatible with you.

Or, maybe we just have a different opinion as to how we define "compatibility"? I suppose your obnoxious condescension would prevent you from understanding that.

@Rorschach
Like I said, just don't use that button. UC prevents Appearance Store functionality from working as intended.

@Daddy Takeda
I know the expression, I'm saying it doesn't apply. You said this mod is incompatible with UC. That statement is factually incorrect, which you would know if you (1) read the mod description before commenting like you were supposed to or (2) actually read and understood my reply to your comment.

You never heard the expression "tomato tomato"?

Hi Iridar, thank you so much for responding. Weirdly enough the appearance store does have some functionality in-game as my characters are pulling outfits that are available to them from that menu (and turning into ungodly mixes of cosmetic mods). Is there anything I can do on my end to disable it fully?

Reading comprehension, what even is that?

Tomato tomato.

It's not incompatible with UC, and no, it doesn't include UC's functionality.

I see this is incompatible with 'Unrestricted Customization - Wotc', does it mean your mod incorporate everything from UC rendering it obsolete?

You're not supposed to have access to Appearance Store button while using UC or UCR. If you do, just don't click on it, it's not going to work anyway.

I know Iridar's effectively retired but if anyone has encountered these bugs and found solutions, I would be really grateful for your help!

Running both Appearance Manager and Unrestricted Customization Redux (UCR), and I have encountered two annoying bugs:

1. The Stored Appearance tab is still visible, and when I go through and delete unwanted outfits, the game just freezes which then requires a restart.

2. This is to do with UCR, so I will ask this question on that mod page as well but maybe someone knows what's going on with it. Basically, when I untick the "Global Appearance" box in UCR's Mod Config Menu, I am unable to equip non-tier specific torsos on my characters without the loadout automatically switching to that armor. To illustrate what I mean, I have a character who has Kevlar Armor equipped but I want them to look like they are wearing the Wraith Torso. When I untick that box in the Mod Config Menu as I mentioned, the game refuses to let me equip the Wraith Torso without it also changing the character's loadout item to Wraith Armor.

Copy thanks for the answer, had no idea you were retired mb! Have a lovely day

For some reason it does the first batch of rookies then it doesn't...

Since this mod doesn't modify base game's soldier customization UI, I assume the issue is caused by PD adding its own interface on top of IAM's, this is something that needs to be fixed on PD's side, and not something I could do even if I wasn't in retirement.

@lolmatter0
I doubt there will be compatibility from this side: Iridar's retired.

A question, will this mod ever have compatibility with Dollhouse?
Right now the menus overlap with the standard ones when Dollhouse & it are running

ily

eg for Iridar's mod here just above the title

XCOM 2 > Workshop > Iridar's Workshop > [WOTC] Iridar's Appearance Manager

clicking "Iridar's Workshop" will take you to everything he's ever done

if you look at the top of the workshop pages... there is a "path" ... if you click the authors name in that path, you'll go direct to their portfolio, with all the mods they've made public ;)

Since I have you for a moment, is there anywhere with all of your own mods, Rusty? I usually follow good authors but obviously I can't. Maybe a playlist?

Found it.

Many thank
much appreciate

They are saved as full units in your character pool (actual uniforms) should be under your normal units from the main menu

If you mean an individuals appearance per armour look at "manage appearances" from the armoury of that unit

Is there a way to remove saved uniforms? Not seeing it in-game

This might be a long stretch but could there be any way between this and Dollhouse to be made compatible together by chance? See if both you and the Dollhouse creator could find a way to make it work?

This would help alot as i enjoy each customization mod equally with their pros and cons together, so keep on the good work!

Random Soldier Info doesn't show up when I use this, help?

There's no controller support.

Is there any way to use this mod with controller ?

how hard would it be to implement this feature?
* choosing the base/avenger-only appearance for our soldiers

I wanted to see my soldiers wear casual clothes inside the avenger.

will this be possible to implement, and if it does, where can I ask for help on figuring how to do this? Thank you very much

Yep, Choose My Class works just fine. It was fault of Commander's Choice.
Good to have that problem gone. Thank you again ^^

My only suggestion might be adding that to the known compatibility issues, since I couldn't find anything about it before I posted.

Likely due to bug within with CC itself. See if the issue persists while using Choose My Class instead, which is a similar mod, but doesn't have a particular bug from CC.

This mod is great, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly.
The ability to colorcode classes is basically essential to me, the automation on promotion and even being able to include patterns and other gear like head and weapons is great.
Solid vivid color is hard on the eyes and the deco patterns being applied make that issue go away.

Thank you.


There is one issue that the mod seems to have when paired with Commander's Choice.
Promoting through CC completely breaks automatic uniform management on a character.

I don't mean just when you promote them, I mean entirely. Even when changing the armor or upgrading armor later on, the currently six soldiers, and the four from my last campaign all of whom were promoted with CC refuse to use automatic uniforms.
*Manual application of uniforms works correctly*


I have a rather tame modlist and no customization or class mods (other than Long War of the Chosen "LW2 Classes") so if it does normally work with CC, I'm unsure what's happening.

I just can't get this mod to work correctly. I can save all the appearances/uniforms I like, but after I equip new armour I can not apply the saved appearance. Anyone else having this issue?

Just couldn't make it work so I booted up my Windows partition and used AML, runs perfectly fine now. Linux gaming has come very far in the last few years but modding can still be awkward.

Anyway, fantastic mod. Exactly what I wanted. It's not overly complicated at all, it has nuanced functionality. It's a testament to how much I like your mod that I'm willing to degrade myself by using Windows just for it.

Hmm, something's up though. it seems to run fine with just Highlander, but doesn't run with this one. I'm going to try running the Windows version through Proton and see if that helps.

It shouldn't be a problem with this mod, but my Resizable Armor mod has issues with Linux.

Linux. I suspected that might be the problem.

Are you on Linux or Mac?
