🐞 STATUS -- OFFICIALLY UNRESOLVED ⋆ [X] EA Forums

β†ͺ️ WORKAROUND -- There's a mod on CurseForge. I will "XMODTko" and expand it.

β˜† // ⋆ SUMMARIZED BUG DESCRIPTION:

Werewolf noses have no color and the color cannot be changed anymore.

It looks ridiculous.

EAxis broke this back in March 2025 with one of the EP18 BUSINESSES & HOBBIES pre-patches, and they cannot be bothered to fix it.

β˜† // ⋆ MY ASSESSMENT OF THIS NONSENSE:

Werewolf "Nose Color" is a "Skin Detail", and it appears that EAxis blacklisted a whole bunch of CAS categories from Werewolves, including the various "Skin Detail" CAS categories, completely forgetting that "Nose Color" existed.

I cannot remember how we used to select "Nose Color", but there are (7) swatches, which means that once upon a time, we had the choice between (7) different nose colors!

β˜† // ⋆ A BRILLIANT THIRD-PARTY BAND-AID:

There's a mod on CurseForge that modifies the "Toenail" texture to include the
"Nose Color" so that every Werewolf always has the basic black "Nose Color".

It's a brilliant idea.

Merging the textures with "Fingernails" or "Toenails" is the best option. I tried a few other things, but it's all too much hoops to jump through due to EAxis' wanton blacklisting of categories.

I will "XMODTko".

I want all (7) swatches, and I need to update my very old "CAS Add-On" that adds more colors to various fingernails and toenails, including those for Werewolves.

β˜† // ⋆ I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS:

I feel like I have too many projects.

Look how long it's taking me to get back to "CAS Filters".

<LOOKS AT THE CALENDAR>

Where did the days go?!

I know what it is.

I need to stop bothering with EAxis. They're frustrating me and stressing me out.

The problem with "not bothering with EAxis" that is that part of the reason I mod is to try to fix the game, so I can actually play it without ripping my hair out.
