Learn about the lore and gameplay quirks of Exo race here (you also need this as a prerequisite): https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/95c0002e-814e-40f0-9e9e-41d3c6585e06/Exo_Playable_Race

Load this creation last / lowest in list or it may not work!

Please read the description for how to customize appearance, it's a bit unconventional!

Overview

Choose between the many options for Exo as in the character creation of Destiny 2:

• 14 distinctive faces (7 male, 7 female)
• 20 head accessories
• 27 colors for faces/accessories
• 8 face decals for each face (with 27 colors)
• 9 colors for eye and teeth (speech lights)

Compatible with new game or existing saves!

Starting on an existing save

1. Strip all apparels off your character (you must be naked to actually see changes in skin tone in chargen, and apparels with masks will cover your face...)
2. When loading the save, you will be given an aid item "Exo Race Setup Package". Use this item to open a menu. You can craft this item at industrial workbenches for 5000 credits.
3. In the new menu, select "Reset Appearance" and confirm to remove human head parts and receive a default Exo appearance.
4. In the new menu, select "Customize Appearance" to bring up chargen menu.
5. If you want to change background and traits, select "Rebuild Completely (!)". Warning: changing background mid game is not officially supported in game, you are advised to only do this immediately before Unity hopping to avoid breaking current saves.

After entering NG+

There is a base game bug that will default your appearance at the start of a NG+ cycle if you enter Unity as a non-human race. Use the "Exo Race Setup Package" to customize your appearance when you regain control.

Customization Guide

There are 5 customizable parts: face, face decal, head accessory, eye color and teeth (speech light) color.

Face

Change using "Eyebrow" and "Eyebrow Color" slider. There are 7 faces for male and 7 for female Exo frames, and 27 colors for each faces.

Face decal

Change using "Jewelry" and "Jewelry Color" slider (27 colors). The last 27 colors are for Exos as in Destiny 2, but you can use the first several colors intended for base game jewelrys and it works fine. There are 8 decals for each face. To help you figure out which decal sticks to the face seamlessly, there are 7 pure white "face masks" added to the options (#2,#10,#19,#28,#37,#46,#55) matching the 7 face plates in that order. Once you find the fitting "mask", the next 8 decals will fit the face plate as well. Example: using faceplate #2, the matching decals are #11~#18

Head accessory

Change using "Hair" and "Hair Color". Choose between 20 accessories in 27 colors.

Eye color

9 colors. The last 9 options are for Exo; the first several options are for human eyes and I have to keep them there or every NPCs in game will be broken.

Teeth (speech light) color

9 colors. The last 9 options are for Exo; the first several options are for human, choosing them makes the speech light black which can be useful when roleplaying a mute Exo.
