I use a default replace skin. Knights blend by madmono. I found it years back and it's been my replacement skin since. I can't stand the game without it. And I use overlays, too many varieties to list them all. I know one is Noli DNA, ooh smooth is another one.
I use default replacement eyes, too.

@storyy Yes, default replacements are considered cc, so they do have the wrench. You have effectively replaced all the game skin and eyes with cc skin and eyes, so you get the wrench.
Yep. I use Mariana skinblend by kumikya:

I also use other skin overlays like heihu's ones, etc.
Here's how it looks in-game:
