This page will tell you how the character creator works (as far as we understand it).

### Wait, this is not what I want!

* If you want to add things to the character creator instead, check [ArchiveXL: Character Creator additions](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/core-mods-explained/archivexl/archivexl-character-creator-additions.md)
* For details on how the file structure works, see [.inkcharactercustomization: CC options](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/character-creator/.inkcharactercustomization-cc-options.md)

## The Switcher

The switcher component contains every `appearanceInfo` registered in [.incharactercustomization](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/character-creator/.inkcharactercustomization-cc-options.md) files. The currently selected appearance has the attribute `selected` set to `true`, the others to `false`.

{% hint style="info" %}
To make a switcher entry use an icon rather than text, set the `useThumbnails` property to true.
