Credits
This package is a preservation re-upload of the original Character Edit Button mod by aedenthorn.
All credit for the mod, source code, and original development belongs to aedenthorn. This package exists to preserve and distribute the mod while directing users to the original creator whenever possible.

This is a simple mod that adds useful functionality to the character selection screen, letting you edit your existing characters from the main menu.
To use, simply press the new Edit button and you will be presented with the character creation interface. When you press Done, your existing character will be updated instead of creating a new one.
At the moment there is no way to display a character's existing hair color, since Valheim stores it as a combination of blondness and color. As a result, when entering the editor, the hair color and blondness sliders will default to their initial values. These values are not saved unless you press Done, so you can always press Cancel to keep your existing appearance unchanged.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
