GetLookParts

The parts of one kind a man’s look may name - or a woman’s.

kind is "head" (the face), "hair", "beard" or "body" (the skin); gender "female" lists a woman’s parts (there are no beards among them), anything else a man’s. Every entry is a table: name (what a look takes), style (the part it derives from - a hair color’s hair model, a head’s variant’s head, a skin tone’s group - "" at the top), traits (the words the game’s own crowd matches a face, a skin, a hair and a beard by: "Pale Ordinary Suntanned Posh YoungAdult") and generic (true for the plain parts the game gives its crowds - not a named character’s, not a wound’s). pattern keeps the parts whose name, style or traits hold every word of it: "generic", "blonde", "Pale", a hair model’s name for its colors.

Some names are worth knowing: x_hair_20 is no hair (a bald head), m_beard_00 no beard, m_hair_barber_01 to _16 and UC_beard_barber_01 to _08 the barber’s styles. Empty without the tables export.
