Early Access: Color Sliders 🎨 (Patreon)
Content
After many weeks of work, I’m happy to finally unveil my new version of Color Sliders!
Inspired by thepancake1’s original mod, but built from the ground up, this version reimagines the slider UI, expands support to even more EA assets, and, best of all, requires NO texture packages.
What's New
Support for ALL CAS items across every currently released expansion pack, game pack, stuff pack, and kit
No more texture packages. This version includes a small native adapter for both Windows and macOS that allows the game to color-shift its own original textures. No textures are cloned or overridden, freeing up more than 20 GB of space for players with all packs installed
11 new slots, bringing the total from 90 supported slots to 101: Skin Overlays, Head Tattoos, and Horse slots (Saddle, Bridle, Reins, Blanket, Hoof Color, Mane, Tail, Forelock, Feathers, and Horn)
Redesigned sliders that track your exact hue and make it much clearer what color you’ve created
Quality-of-life improvements, including fixes for several EA visual and slider-related bugs. Sliders that cannot affect a particular EA part are now hidden instead of remaining visible but grayed out
Full compatibility with More Columns in CAS. Just make sure to place Color Sliders in an override folder
Full compatibility with existing Color Slider-enabled CC

About the Mod
If you don’t already know, thepancake1 has stepped away from modding for the foreseeable future. He has graciously allowed me to adopt (and iterate upon) Color Sliders in his absence, and I’ve updated his version here.
I’ll continue supporting his version through the end of the Early Access period. After that, I’ll begin directing everyone to this new version instead.
Installation
Due to the nature of using an adapter to extend the engine's functionality, installation differs between Windows and macOS.
macOS
On macOS, an included setup tool will need to be run once before using the mod for the first time, and again after each game patch.
Full installation instructions for macOS are available on the download page.
📝 Note: Only silicon-based Macs are supported at this time.
Windows
On Windows, installation is as straightforward as downloading any other mod. However...
⚠️ Smart App Control may block Color Sliders from running. Until I am able to complete Microsoft’s app verification process, the current workaround is to disable Smart App Control.
Full installation instructions for Windows are available on the download page.
Compatibility
Built on game version 1.129.39. I cannot guarantee compatibility with older game versions or provide support for issues encountered while using the mod on them.
The mod is fully compatible with More Columns in CAS, as long as you place Color Sliders in a priority folder.
Compatibility with other, newer CAS mods will be evaluated upon request.
Special thanks to thepancake1 for his trust, and to SimMattically for helping test the mod.
