Hey just want to say I appreciate the effort of people who continue these mods. Thank you for your effort. Drow is definitely one of my favourites so I hope to see it again either through yourself or someone else taking it up. Cheers.

plz update for 1.6 :)

1.6？

Updated for CE 1.5, please tell if you find any issues.

It was a long time ago i used Combat Extended, i'll fix compatibility soon, as this mod doesnt have any weapons, its probably some pawn-related minor changes.

CE patch for 1.5 someday? ><

Nah, and even then, I disabled all my mods and the issue's still there... so it isn't a mod compatibility thing. Maybe my computer just hates me </3

Checked new game as well - all normal.

Just checked and in my saves they are normal.

Do you have some body-changing mod like Malibody or [NL] Facial Animation?

Their skin colors are broken again I wouldn't be too bothered if I didn't have a huge attachment to one of my drows... he must be reborn in every playthrough

Awesome, came back from vacation to Drow Elves being alive again. Life is good. You rule Kerevan!

Thank you for the update!!!

Dude, nice! Thanks!

And sorry for such big delay, too much things going on right now.

Updated for 1.5

- This version remain non-Biotech (addon is optional)
- Skin color finally fixed everywhere (with or without Biotech)

Use of FemaleBB and [NL] Facial Animation is strongly recommended! :)

Please tell if you encounter any problems!

Any chance for this updating to 1.5? Thanks for what you've for it done so far!

I have a problem with this mod causing conflicts with Facial Animations & the vanilla retexture for it. Drow themselves work fine with the mod, but other alien races & regular humans will sometimes be generated with no hair & broken faces. Can you look into this?

@Black Jesus
I just checked the xml files and the mod still uses "Drowian"

Do we still need the name fix mod or does this fix that issue in this version?

any chance of including driders?

Furthermore, I cannot add the Drow Gene by using cheat codes.

I've discovered a serious error concerning your Drow Xenotype.

In your code, it is mutually exclusive with these:

<exclusionTags>
<li>HairColor</li>
<li>SkinColorOverride</li>
</exclusionTags>

This causes ANY Pawn that has the Drow Xenotype to not spawn with any Genes, because (by default) they spawn with Hair Color and Skin Genes. These exclusions need to be fixed, because I have never seen a single Drow spawn correctly.

I'm getting a weird error where I can't write or rewrite any Drow names. they have no last names, nor first names, only nicknames and I can't change it without a "Invalid name" no matter what I type or even randomize, and I can randomize the nickname but can't change it.

If anyone's running the Psychology mod for some reason it set the age range for Drow to look for a relationship to -1 meaning they'd never date anyone.

tried to add other genes to one of my drows and they get into the coma but they dont gain any genes other than the drow gene

Alright, thank you! And I'd like to say, thank you so much for being active as you are, more Devs should be like you! Much appreciated, all the love and I love this mod, I'll be getting the DLC when I can!

Skin pigmentation was changed in 1.4 and pure black skin is working only with genes (Biotech).

@Ivory Eland, yes gene for drow to make their bodies black again works only with Biotech for 1.4 unfortunately.

Issue doesnt seem to be fixed for me! Odd (Regarding the red hue, I have no DLC, only base game)

Yeah, Drow Start force the drow xenotype for 3 starting pawns, and drow xenotype do not work with non-drow races, as i said HAR will be updated "soon" for more flexible xenotype support.

Today i tried a new Colony but if i change the Xenotypes from my 3 start pawns i dont get the style of drow only the genes. (crash landing)
(edit) if i use the Mod start it seems to works.

Drow Gene should be restricted now for new pawns. Later when @Erdelf update HAR again there will be easier way to control xenotypes, right now i can restrict only genes and they still not totally under control XD

Is there any way to prevent non-drow from having the ashen skintone? A large number of the randomly generated humans that appear in my game spawn with these skintones making it very common. It would great if it was restricted to drow and player geneology.

Little fixes for Biotech: now there should be Drow Xenotype with single unique gene that makes drow black again :)) with some other effects like Darkvision etc.

Thanks @trisscar05, this issue should be fixed now.

I seem to have found an error relating to BodyAddons, I'll shove it into a discussion so that steam stops complaining at me about post length.

merry christmas

You too man I look forward to the update.

I'll try to do some xenotypes, or even make unique all-in-one xenotype for drow on next weekend, maybe even fix bodies to be black again ) Happy Christmas everyone!

Will the drows get xeno genes by default? Right now they are just dark skinned humans/normal.

It's not Biotech, it's 1.4, I have the same issue as Xytal and I don't own Biotech at all.

Yeah, because of Biotech bodies changed, i'll try to think about something with this maybe, but probably can fix only mature body types, not children.

Im noticing a skin color issue they are not fully black anymore? they have a reddish hue / tint to them now (Similar to what rotting bodies have), not sure if its because of biotech or something else causing issues

Hey Keravan, just to add to my last comment. I haven't had any issues with character editor since making a new game. Cheers!

If you play with pre-1.4 save this is expected, if not, please tell what other mods you have, because i dont have any issues with Character Editor and Drow on new save with only HAR, Drow and Character Editor mods. Thanks.

can confirm character editor crashes with this race

I am also having an issue with bodies missing with certain body types and character editor freezing if an attempt to change it is done. I'll attempt to start a new game at some point and see if issues are gone. That being said, I am curious if you have ever contemplated removing HAS dependency completely at this point. All features of the Drow seem able to be produced through certain genes as it is and adding the custom traits would be the only thing needed outside of Biotech. I believe HAS might become irrelevant at some point I imagine as well. Anyway, your work and continued attention to the Drow is more than commendable and I appreciate all that you've done! Your mod has been a staple for me in this game!

I'll keep an eye out for additional drow ladies to see if they have the same problem if it's a "new pawn" generation thing. Still haven't made a new save to see if that fixes it yet :-/ Thanks again for the work/mod, Kerevan :)

99% it was related to bodytypes, there was malibody patch in this mod that work with 1.3 but breaks bodytypes in 1.4. Already fixed that and new pawns should generate without issues.

@Itharus I believe it's actually an issue with HAR. Mod author indicated it's an issue with skin types or something but they don't know how to fix it. I've been waiting on them to for a bit but it seems like it's either something too hard to fix or they don't have time. Might be worth looking into just making drow a xenotype to bypass HAR altogether
