Overview
White Desert enhances immersion by replacing diversity hires. Modifies 133 NPC templates to update head meshes, and the color palette for skin tones.
Drag and drop into CDUMM and activate. It may work with other mod managers, but may require you to alter the folder structure.
Between game updates, you must uninstall this mod and re-install it. Do not use CDUMM's "Reimport from source" as it will not reapply the head changes.

Changelog
Show Spoiler
1.5
- Changed folder structure for compatibility with CDUMM
- Pearl Abyss changed the filenames for the XML files being replaced, resulting in the head changes no longer taking effect. Renamed the files, nothing else to update.
- Switched mod format to JSON Mod Manager
- Likely not needed but the color palette file was changed slightly after the game update. If you have skin tone issues anywhere, install this update to fix them.
- Honors 00, 10, 20, 40 series heads so adult heads are replaced with adult heads, child with child, fat with fat, old with old.
- Initial upload. Modifies the heads of all NPCs that referenced black skin tones in the color palette, and updates those entries in the color palette with values copied from normal skin tones.
