Character Edit Button

Credits

This package is a preservation re-upload of the original Character Edit Button mod by aedenthorn.

All credit for the mod, source code, and original development belongs to aedenthorn. This Thunderstore package exists to preserve and distribute the mod while directing users to the original creator whenever possible.

If you enjoy using this mod, please consider supporting the original author by visiting the Original Resources section at the bottom of this page.

This is a simple mod that adds useful functionality to the character selection screen, letting you edit your existing characters from the main menu.

To use, simply press the new Edit button and you will be presented with the character creation interface. When you press Done, your existing character will be updated instead of creating a new one.

At the moment there is no way to display a character's existing hair color, since Valheim stores it as a combination of blondness and color. As a result, when entering the editor, the hair color and blondness sliders will default to their initial values. These values are not saved unless you press Done, so you can always press Cancel to keep your existing appearance unchanged.

Configuration

You can adjust the configuration by:
