# .inkcharactercustomization: CC options

## Summary

Published: Jan 22 2025 by [mana vortex](mailto:undefined) and [island\_dancer](mailto:undefined)\
Last documented edit: Jan 22 2025 by [mana vortex](mailto:undefined)

This page will tell you how `.inkcharactercustomization` files are used to populate the character creator.

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

* If you want to add things to the character creator, check [ArchiveXL: Character Creator additions](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/core-mods-explained/archivexl/archivexl-character-creator-additions.md)

### Attributes

#### definitions

Adds the appearance definitions from the [#resource](#resource "mention")

#### link

`link` is used to sync currently selected value across multiple options (e.g. hair colour also influences the beard). It can be used at the same time as `uislot`.

#### resource

The relative path to your `.app` file

#### uislot

`uiSlot` is used to show/hide options. It can be used at the same time as `link`.

#### useThumbnails

Will make the switcher display a thumbnail instead of the translation text.

### gameuiAppearanceInfo: Merging with ArchiveXL

If your option has a name:

* If another option with the same `name` already exists, your option is merged with existing one
* If no option with the same name `name` exists, your option is added to the the final `.inkcc` as a new one

If your option doesn't have a name:

* if your option has `uiSlot`, it will be merged with all existing options with the same `uiSlot`
* if your option has `link`, it will be merged with all existing options with the same link

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/character-creator/.inkcharactercustomization-cc-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
