Want to create your own character in Crimson Desert? Well, now you can.

In the base game of Crimson Desert, you primarily play as Kliff, the main protagonist of the game. As you progress, you will unlock two more playable characters, Damiane and Oongka. While you can alter their appearance, you can't make your own character from scratch.

Until now, that is. A new character customization mod has been released, allowing players to drastically change appearances and even create their own characters.

On April 8, user Khione95 uploaded a mod to Nexus Mods that allows the creation of female characters for the PC version of Crimson Desert.

After downloading the mod, you can create your own female character in the game, before customizing them by visiting the Barber in the Greymane Camp.

There are 98 face presets and 159 hairstyles to choose from. The mod also adjusts armor to fit the female body type.

Additionally, they plan to replace Kliff's usual animations with female variants, add more armor variety, and add icons for the hair and face.

To be able to use the mod, you'll need JSON Mod Manager and the Kliff Female Voice mod, which was made by Ev3n5taR.

Pearl Abyss has been supportive when it comes to fans creating mods for Crimson Desert. During their annual shareholder meeting, the CEO stated, "Since the mod community is active and our game has a sandbox structure, I believe supporting it would be a strength. On the other hand, supporting mods requires opening up a significant portion of the engine, so while the development team views it positively, there are no concrete plans yet."
