Don't like how Seraphs (Players) look? Want a more "realistic" experience? Well then this small texture mod is for yew!

What the mod doin':

This mod simply replaces all the textures for players (Seraphs) with ones based off real human skintones (Mine and some friend's skintones to be exact). This mod does not touch eye color or hair color, as I feel they look fine as they are on the new skin textures.

If you want to take some cool screenshots using this mod and send them to me to put on this modpage feel free too!
or you know... just put them in the comments.

...and that's about it, this is just a texture mod lol. I dunno what else to put here.



Notice: 
V0.0.3 introduces the "feature" that all skin types now have dark eyebrows/lashes, and consequently mouths. This change is not reflected in the screenshots.
​​​​​​​If you like the old 'brows n' 'lashes, just download V0.0.2.

Updated to 1.21.1, primarily because I got interested in the game again, and dislike other mods that are similar that have cropped up.

Eye-dentical to V0.0.2, but Eyebrows and Eyelashes darkened to more accurately reflect human hair and for visiblity.
Alas, Lips share texturing with Eyelashes and Brows, so I couldn't make them flush/pinkish. Well, it's probably possible, but eh.

0.0.2 HumanSkinTones
1.4.4-dev.2 - 1.17.3

Added compatability textures for older vintage story versions.
Fixed compatability in modinfo.json

v0.0.1 works just fine, just figured I could update the mod since I have a spare minute or two.

Inital Release.
Eyebrowns/Eyelids/Mouth are a little strange, due to how textures work, but I think it looks good enough for now.

Despite it saying outdated, it should work with every version of the game going forward.
(unless they change the seraph texture again like they did in 1.21)

I don't feel like updating it to use a non-legacy thumbnail and get rid of the "outdated" warning, lol.

Anyone try it with 1.22?

 

Edit: Seems to work

LordJellyNips, Apr 9th at 10:48 PM

This mod DOES work with the female seraph mod!

I think I'm doing something wrong, was on 1.21.6, had the 0.4, skins work great, but the facial expressions are still the weird dark blue color, what would be the way way to fix that issue? Hate the odd mouth and eyebrow coloring, having it be dark would fit perfectly with the skins.

 

It also works just fine with female seraphs if anyone was wondering.

Vargur v0.0.3 would be for any version <1.21, so that one.
I'll update the download to reflect this.

Which version of the mod would be best for 1.20.12?

Yew , Sep 1st 2025 at 9:09 PM (modified Sep 1st 2025 at 9:11 PM)

I have updated it to 1.21

I do see others have made similar mods, but I simply prefer mine. It's also the first for what it's worth :P

Worked well in 1.20, but sadly causes texture glitches in 1.21.

Benebell, Feb 7th 2025 at 2:19 PM

Thank you so much for making this. It was driving me crazy that the vanilla skins had dark black eyebrows - I wanted to do gold brown hair, but hated how it looked with the black brows. My seraph looks so much better with the new eyebrows!

Still works flawlessly for 1.19 and 1.20pre6.

BerryBlue64, Mar 23rd 2024 at 9:53 PM

The 1.19.5 update was recently released and I encountered this really annoying bug where the camera is seamingly stuck inside the playermodel's head and the model itself always facing sideways... there's also a slight jittering whenever I move around too.

Please fix this error whenever possilbe! :c

I am noticing that some of the pixels were missed in the retexture. 2 has a few spots in the midle of its template. 6 has some rogue pixels around the legs. 8 has a single pixel missed on the bottom left of its template.
That was all I noticed.

PurpleStar, Mar 30th 2023 at 2:27 PM

Just tried it and it seems to work fine. Craluminum 😀

DanaCraluminum, Mar 30th 2023 at 2:14 PM

PurpleStar Have you tried it?

PurpleStar, Mar 30th 2023 at 1:54 PM

Does this work for v1.18.0-pre?

AzuliBluespots, Feb 19th 2023 at 7:53 PM

Is there anything like this that makes the skin colors... EVEN LESS human-like? At least more color options?

LiamEoinWolfe, Sep 21st 2021 at 9:48 AM

I would imagine ( I have Zero evidence mind you ) that the not human colour palatte was an attempt to be... well, not human. Elf, Dwarf, Troll, Hobbit etc in that other fantasy world and in this one Seraph, Drifter and those dang jumping gangs with the glowing butts.

... and yes, cool mod, thank you :)

l33tmaan, Sep 20th 2021 at 5:37 PM

Thanks, I always thought it was weird that I could make some crazy-colored seraph, or... just a white guy. Seemed like an odd decision.

Wandour, Sep 20th 2021 at 5:22 PM

MAN THANK YOU

I was really confused about why they chose such strange skin colors and eye colors its just don't work together and looks ugly


XMT, Sep 20th 2021 at 2:04 AM

Yew bloody ripper! Excellent work.
The "vanilla" skin tones have been horrid in their available colours. You really only have a few to pick from without feeling inhuman. The only saving grace is that they helped justify the lack of a drowning mechanic. Clearly, I'm Merfolk.

Now I can feel like a human again.
