Customizing your character's look in Yansim
Yansim lets you change your character's appearance through the settings menu before you start playing. You can adjust hair color, eye color, skin tone, and uniform style. The changes you make stay with your character throughout that playthrough, but you'll need to change them again if you start a new game or load a different save file.
The appearance customization happens at the very beginning — when you first launch the game and create your character. There's no way to change how your character looks once you're already playing, so you need to decide on your appearance before you enter the school. This is a permanent choice for each save file you create.
Understanding where to find these options and what each setting does will help you create the character look you want without having to restart multiple times. The customization process is straightforward, but it's worth taking time to preview your choices before you confirm them.
Key Takeaways
- Character appearance changes are made in the settings menu before you start a new game, not during gameplay.
- You can modify hair color, eye color, skin tone, and which uniform your character wears.
- Changes only apply to the current playthrough — starting a new game returns you to the default appearance unless you customize again.
- The customization menu shows a live preview of your character, so you can see how each change looks before you confirm.
- If you want a different look, you'll need to start a new game and go through the customization menu again.
Where to find the appearance settings
Open Yansim and look for the settings or customization option on the main menu. This is usually labeled clearly and appears before you enter the game world. Click on it to open the character customization panel where all your appearance options are located.
The customization menu shows you a preview of your character as you make changes, so you can see how each adjustment looks before you confirm. This preview updates in real time as you adjust colors and other settings. Take your time here — once you start playing, you're locked into these choices for that save file.
The menu is organized into separate sections for each customization type, making it easy to find what you're looking for. Each section has clear labels and visual indicators showing your current selections.
Changing hair and eye color
In the customization menu, you'll see separate options for hair color and eye color. Click on each one to see the available color choices. The game typically offers a range of preset colors rather than a color wheel, so you're selecting from predefined options that the developers have included.
Hair color affects your entire hairstyle, and eye color changes both eyes at once. There's no option to make eyes different colors from each other or to have multi-colored hair in the standard customization menu. The colors you see in the preview are exactly what your character will look like during gameplay.
As you hover over or click different color options, the preview updates immediately so you can compare how different shades look on your character. This makes it easier to find a combination you're happy with before you commit to it.
Adjusting skin tone
Skin tone is a separate slider or selection in the customization menu. You can lighten or darken your character's skin within the range the game offers. This setting applies to your entire character model and is visible in the preview as you adjust it.
Like hair and eye color, skin tone is set before you start playing and cannot be changed mid-game. Make sure you're satisfied with your choice before you confirm and enter the school. The preview will show you exactly how your chosen skin tone looks with your selected hair and eye colors.
The skin tone options are designed to give you a range of choices that work well with the other customization settings. Experiment with different combinations in the preview to find a look that feels right for your character.
Selecting your uniform
Yansim lets you choose which uniform your character wears. The options typically include the standard school uniform and any alternate uniforms the game has added. Your uniform choice is visible in the preview as you make your selection, showing you how it looks on your character model.
The uniform you pick here is what you'll wear throughout that playthrough. Some uniforms may be cosmetic only, while others might be part of specific game modes or storylines. The preview shows your character wearing the selected uniform so you can see the full effect.
Different uniforms may have different colors or styles, and the preview updates to show these differences. This helps you coordinate your uniform choice with your hair, eye, and skin tone selections.
Starting a new game with a different appearance
If you want to change your appearance after you've already started playing, you'll need to start a new game. Go back to the main menu, select the option to start a new game, and you'll return to the customization screen. Your old save file remains unchanged and keeps the appearance you originally chose.
This means you can have multiple save files with different character appearances if you want to experiment with different looks. Each save file remembers the appearance you chose when you created it, so you can switch between saves and see your different characters.
Creating new save files with different appearances is a good way to explore how different customization choices affect your experience of the game. You can keep your favorite versions and delete ones you don't want to play anymore.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my appearance while I'm playing?
No. Appearance customization only happens before you start a new game. Once you're in the school, your character's look is locked in for that playthrough. You'd need to start a new game to change it.
Do appearance changes affect gameplay?
Appearance is purely cosmetic in Yansim. Changing your hair color, eye color, skin tone, or uniform doesn't change how other characters interact with you or how the game plays out. It's only about how your character looks.
What if I don't like my appearance after I start playing?
You'll need to start a new game to change it. Your current save file keeps the appearance you chose at the beginning. You can create a new save with different customization settings without affecting your existing file.
Are there appearance options beyond hair, eyes, and skin tone?
The main customization menu covers hair color, eye color, skin tone, and uniform selection. Some mods or custom versions of Yansim may add more options, but the standard game is limited to these four customization choices.
Will my appearance changes save if I quit the game?
Yes. Once you confirm your appearance choices and start playing, those choices are saved to that save file. Your character will look the same way every time you load that save, even if you close and reopen the game.
