Issues launching modded game?

If your game appears to not be launching with mods enabled, but it stays Running in Steam, stop it, delete your shader cache, and then launch the game. In certain configurations, it can take up to 5 minutes or more with no indication, so be patient.

Does this work with the latest current state of the game on Steam, also - how many NPC or story/plot characters are affected?

Yes, it works with the current version of the game on Steam. I don't foresee any issues with updates, unless they add new areas with new NPC templates. It seems unlikely that they would change these files instead of just adding more, but I'll be around to update the mod when necessary.

Head meshes for 133 NPC templates (the ones that were using the dark skin section of the skin color palette file) were changed to use other head meshes already in the game, so that the new skin colors don't clash with non-European facial features (otherwise they would look like this or this for example).

Some of the templates I modified may not have even been used, and there's no telling how many deployments of each template - but I can confirm that they at least some are used multiple times, as I've seen identical generic NPCs walking around town in vanilla.

I'm not sure it's even possible to tell where these NPCs are deployed except looking for them in-game and doing A/B testing, and the fact that they're templates makes me think all of them are generic NPC designs. Named NPCs have template files too, but they are named after the specific NPC, and were left untouched by this mod. I don't think any story/plot characters were black in the first place. If I had to guess, blacks were just tossed in randomly in towns to appease activist game journalists and ESG ****, as there's no lore to support integrated societies.

I have played for about 80 hours with my mod and have not seen anything that felt wrong, but I haven't explored everywhere yet. If you find anything weird or immersion-breaking, send me some screenshots with a location and I'll look into it.
