Character Appearance Mod Work: Starbound Change

Changing your character's appearance in Starbound mid-game is not supported by the base game's API, meaning traditional "one-click" mods often struggle to work.

• Launch Starbound and load your character.
• If playing singleplayer, type /admin to enable cheats.

• Type /admin again to disable.
  Verdict: This is the gold standard. It requires admin commands, but it works instantly and respects racial armor scaling (i.e., a Floran wearing Hylotl armor will still show correctly).
