Guide: input all stuffs from CM3D2 to COM3D2

[DvirFederacia]

I just tried this and almost can't believe how simple it is,it's so simple that I can hardly call this a "guide", but any way, here it is.

0. Backup your GameData_20 folder which in com3d2 folder(where the COM3D2.exe located)
1. Go to your CM3D2 folder (where the .exe located)
2. Find folder "GameData" and copy everything inside it except the files which start with voice_, for example, voice_cos007.arc. They are useless.
3. Paste(overwrite) them inside GameData_20(which I just mentioned above)

And now you can find every outfits, hair styles, eyes, skins,etc.from CM3D2 in your game(com3d2)

PS: I run the game with R18 patch and COM3D2 BepinEX, I'm not 100% sure if it can work without them.Theoretically it should be totally fine without BepinEX, but as for R18 patch,I'm not sure. If you have problems pls check this wonderful guide which covered how to get these two and more https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1820854643

Does anyone know the difference between GameData_20 folder and GameData folder? What are their differences?

Is GameData_20 folder dedicated to CM3D2 contents only?

I would suggest that the GameData_20 folder is for store dlc. The folder was still missing until I was in the s-court store and downloaded something.

Interesting. I didn't notice this. Might have to backup the folders and do some trial&error runs.

Doing this converted my game language into Japanese. Any way around it other than resorting to using a translator? That kinda would just put me back to square 1...

Did you drop the files into GameData or GameData_20? If you did drop them into GameData_20, try to overwrite with the GameData_20 files that you backup into the GameData_20 folder. This totally shouldn’t happen, only the outfits from the old game should be in Japanese, or try to change language back to English in the game options if there is a option. I think this can only happen if you dropped files into GameData folder and overwrote the English language files.

Sorry I’m having a journey so can’t try this out myself now, I think even if we input the personality or gameplay dlcs they’ll still be in Japanese...which wouldn’t provide a good experience, For me having a decent number of outfits from CM3D2 is good enough, and I’m looking for them release these dlcs in English. May try to use jp dlc in English version after back home .
You got a really decent game library btw, and hi, paradox player:)

Some dance works too, like sakura. But you have to extract the dlc from zip and copy files into "gamedata". So far i have added 4 dance and they are working fine.

IMPORTANT!
don't copy: csv.arc, language.arc, motion.arc, parts.arc, products.arc, script.arc, system.arc, voice.arc and paths.dat. If you do, you will overwrite important system file of the game.

That’s exactly why I put them into GameData_20,to avoid overwrite system files, and seems the game will only read outfits files in GameData-20,that’s perfect. but still really thanks for the information, will definitely try to add dance later

My advice:

0) Have a proper install of CM3D2
1) Download the Japanese Update: https://com3d2.jp/update/ (com3d2_upXXX.zip)
2) Only take COM3D2.exe and move it to the other COM3D2.exe. Do not overwrite but let it be renamed to COM3D2(2).exe
3) Open COM3D2(2).exe and click the top most left icon with the 4 moon runes
4) Above VR and below the simple moonrunes(which just reads Interneto), you see the other sole understandable scrap: 3D2 click the left button and navigate to your CM3D2 folder where the CM3D2.exe is
5) Done~

Omake:
For three Personalities, download com3d2plg_old.zip and install

Obviously any CM3D2 content will still be in Japanese but at least for the UI the AutoTranslate Plugin is handy


Regarding any Japanese COM3D2 content:
You will have to merge the English version with the Japanese one lest at least in case of scripts you will be ducked. Other bugs may also occur.

[Killme.plz();]

For the 6 personalities of COM3D2 there is some files missing in one archive on the english version, you can fix that with the originals files in japaness by extracting the JP scipt.arc in GameData and put them in the Mod folder.
If you don't want to make it yourself, you can DL it here:

I made it with the last update (1.33.1)

Sorry for my English

Sorry for late reply, work has been mad busy. Yeah I know I put them in the right folder (GameData_20), but I know what caused the problem now, I had the bright idea of doing the same with the files from the JP version of COM3D2 which caused the issue. I reinstalled the game and this time did as you said without any more "bright" ideas and this time I can see the items available in game, however now when I select one of the added items I get a bunch of errors (hair_(some number).model Object reference not set to instance of an object) and then the game crashes. What am I doing wrong this time? Sorry for being clueless, I'm pretty new to these games and still learning.

Since I’m having a journey I can only tell it with my memory. I have the same problems in the beginning,items showing up but crashed the game the clicking.Then I found out it’s because I didn’t copy every files in GameData (CM3D2) to GameData_20(I was thought it only need files with “dlc” in their name,but it’s wrong)

I fix this just by copying every files (as mentioned in guide, without those start with voice_) and drop them in GameData_20,
so make sure you copied every files.

That’s what I can say....this error probably causes by some files missing.
This suggestion is quite unhelpful since it’s just repeating the guide, maybe you can try to install BepinEX...... I have no other idea now......may do some test when back home

It's weird, I do exactly as your guide says and still have the same issue.. but it can wait, thank you for taking the time to check up on this while traveling, I appreciate it. Take your time and enjoy your trip ,we'll figure it out later :)
