Honestly, I'm baffled as well. As much as I don't enjoy sexualized mods personally, as they make me want to bleach my eyes - I also ascribe to a simple mindset, when it comes to mods, since it's not like you have to download a mod - don't like, don't download, don't comment - Yennefer's outfit is far from being a terrible "offender". I also know for a fact (having modded W3 extensively for my own use, and used their assets for other games), that CDPR alows to use their assets in other titles and mods, as long as you don't profit off them. Methinks, it might be something from WB themselves, that makes Nexus do, what they do, since HL depicts minors (which is a can of worms, legally speaking; honestly). Since, looking at it logically - if you look at Skyrim, there are bazillion far, far worse sexualized mods, and nothing of this sort is being done. Just my few bucks. *shrugs*

Basically, what I'd love to see (I hope I'm not the only one), is, that we can have all the female uniform outfits, that currently only exist with skirts, replaced with pant variants. I was going through what's available, the matching pants do exist for female characters, but they're only used for the unbuttoned vests and unbuttoned coats variants for most part. Having also gone through the game files, to my understanding, there would be no need to alter the models themselves, but rather, tell the game 'use pants models with this top'. I don't understand why we don't have this choice in the first place (similarly, how you can togle off and on your cape), but eh... would be eternally grateful for this mod, so I can enjoy all the outfits, rather than be limited to just few, that do have pants-variant.

Hi. I've been wondering how to go about making a new class? I saw an old topic on reddit how to do it, but the link to the utility, that allowed us to extract the game's files doesn't work with the most recent version. If anyone can point me out in the right direction how to do this - I'd be eternally grateful. :)

yeah... uh, that's why I began working on my own mod. Using mostly female character animations where possible (as sadly, not all animations in the game have a female equivalent & I currently lack knowledge/skills to redo the animations for female rig), with a woman character, while your equipment is visible. It's a lot of work (mainly due to sheer amount of armor models/meshes to rework), though and it's going to take me a while to figure this out. My biggest struggle to figure out to date, is really to have the game to use the female skeleton, rather than the male one... without necessarily overwriting anything, if possible.

If you're interested in the existing mod, that lets you change Geralt into something else, there's an easy solution for you - Check out Geralt Doppler mod here on Nexus - https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3645 The mod I've been working on is not published, as it's unfinished & unlike Geralt Doppler mod, where you essentially pick premade female characters and their body parts, I want to make my mod in a way, that just like when you play as Geralt, you see your equipment & everything. Which involves redoing the armor/outfit meshes, so they look more proportionate for a woman, for one thing. I actually have two versions of my own mod already (yep, I sunk a lot of time into it, haha), the first one using Geralt's rig/animation bones (and subsequently, his height/size), where I reshaped about every armor already in game and other one, where I wanted to go a little further with the mod, and basically use female rig/skeleton (comparable to idea, as if you played as Ciri, but with ability to equip stuff, that's visible and do other things, like when you play Geralt). The second version is nowhere near complete though, as I hit a snag with it, hence why I asked here, if anyone knows how to get around the game using Geralt's skeleton/rig by default. I've been stuck with playing Mass Effect: Legendary edition, but I'll be digging into this a bit more soonish, hopefully to find a solution for this, so I can go back to Blender and having fun with it. :smile: I /think/ that fiddling with identity files (.w2ent files) might do the trick - there was someone who created an entirely different player character, supporting different animations/skeleton, purely by editing/creating their own .w2ent files (see: https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/playing-as-other-entities-actually.10751651/), but I'm worried that may be above my own current skillset. I learnt basics in Blender and changing the models/redoing the base weights is easy in comparison, but it probably won't be enough to get this fully operational, unfortunately. PS: Don't worry about your English, it's not my native language either. :D

I am working on a personal mod, that basically aims to be able to play as a female character (don't judge, duh) & I'm stuck on as to how to force the game to use/load a female skeleton (rig) for your player character. As this seems to be baked by default, even though my own models are re-modelled/re-weighted and use the female skeleton/bones that is in game, as that's how I've redone them in Blender, the game ignores it & loads the default CSkeleton file anyways. Using Ciri's player entity (.w2ent) won't work, as that way, you don't see things you equip (among other issues & restrictions) and all my work to re-model and reshape the original meshes of armors would be in vain. And I'd rather not have that, as I've already sunk many hours into this, heh. As a side note, I can't script for the life of me, so that makes it considerably harder - although I believe that the main culprit, that tells the game as to which skeleton/rig to load is player.w2ent file, based on me skimming it in Wolvenkit. I'd rather not go trial & error on that one though, as there's a lot of stuff... uhhh.If anone can help, I'd be extremely happy. That, or point me to Witcher 3 Modding Discord. :D Any help is appreciated. TL;DR - How do I force the game to use the female skeleton & animations without swapping to Ciri? PS: I am aware that a mod with similar functionality )as in, playing as a female) exists. I wanted to do my own, that will work more seamlessly, without T-pose bugs, lack of visible equipment that your character wears, so please don't tell me to use that. :D
