Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.5, outdated):
expandedskinsfix_1.1.0.zip  1-click install

Fixes the crashes in the Expanded Skins (https://mods.vintagestory.at/expandedskins) mod 

 

The skin texture layout changed so I had to convert all of the 35 colors to the new format. 

 

Credits to StraudBeryl for the original mod

Might be a long shot, but I wanted to ask if it were possible to add a patch that allows this mod to work on the new Orrukin race mod. I would also be open configuring the json patch myself. A little guidence on how to go about that would be helpful!

if possible, compatibility with https://mods.vintagestory.at/femaleseraph would be amazing!

 

currently the extra skin tones don't work with this mod because they only show as an option when using the default model in character creation.

seaseraphic I do have Player Model Lib installed, yes.

Sunconure11 sounds unrelated, the new hair parts were displaying with missing texture. Maybe your issue is to do with Player Model Lib?

Can you show some pics of what it looks like in game, by any chance? I'm curious as to if this is behind an issue I am having, which is totally white eyes, lips, and brows.

would love to see this working right and with Valkyrja's Hair Styler

client-main.log
30.10.2025 19:56:00 [Warning] [expandedskinsfix] Is a Content mod, but .cs or .dll files were found. These will be ignored.

This means only the textures and `assets/expandedskin/patches/game-entities-humanoid-player.json` will be loaded...which is fine. The .dll, its .pdb debug symbols, and its unnecessary .deps.json are compiled from an empty project. If the DLL was loaded, it wouldn't do anything.

 

tl;dr the .dll, .pdb, and deps.json can be safely removed.

Doesn't seem to be compatible with Valkyrja's Hair Styler

Love this mod! I tried it on game version 1.21.5, but sadly it doesn't display the puffy or curly hairstyles correctly. The puffy and curly bits go completely transparent.
