So presumably it goes further than just the top, or not... I've never downloaded it

per ead all the postts its actually a fanccy reshade of an existing armor

If the official game devs actually modeled Aloy's tits in the base game that is kind of hilarious.

As a game dev you'd have to sculpt the *ahem* "orbs" but usually they don't model the nips, and there are nips in that mod image.

To moderators: I'm trying my damnedest to keep this clean and respectful

So you think the game devs modeled Aloy's tits? Cause the mesh had to come from
somewhere :-P

I hate to say it but if I was a modder with the talent to create a face and body mod for this game I would stick it behind a paywall on Patreon because it would absolutely sell. If the Nexus site is truly blocking those mods, it’s a pretty crappy thing to do considering what’s already on this site. It’s a bad look. Ah well.

I'd buy it as paid dlc...

So now it's illegal to make a minor face mod for a single player game? Smh.

NO but Sony does not want that mod to exist. SO there you go. Like I said lawsuits.

Where does Sony say that? Show me. If you aren't making it up, you'll have a source.
Of course, we both know you are making it up.
Additionally, you can't sue someone for making a free cosmetic mod for a game.

Putting mods behind a paywall is a legal grey area. Not relevant if you're outside the Western sphere of influence though, of course.
Nexus mods is indeed blocking such mods and many others. Whether this mod specifically has been created or blocked, I haven't checked.

As much as I agree regarding wanting more mods for HFW, not just reshades, I dont really see it as a "if i cant mod it in the first 2 weeks, I"m refunding, never buying, bye!". That's just some next level shtupid right there, imho...

I'm halfway through the story, I'll probably finish it without mods. And by the time I get to new game + , there will hopefully be mods to make things interesting.
I really really want a 2 meter long bow in-game... would be funny af

There are some, but most are simple things like reshades

People say someone made a FW version of https://www.nexusmods.com/horizonzerodawn/mods/32
but it was banned soon after :S

I still find it ludicrous that people believe Sony would go after and ban a face mod for HFW but not for HZD but I guess some people need to believe that kind of BS to feed their persecutioncomplex.

The reason why I know that they didn't ban that mod is because the modding tools don't even exist yet. It takes time to mod games especially when mod tools are not provided by the developer, anyone surprised by this must be new to modding. There will be mods, they won't be banned, it will just take some time.

I hope so cause i don't want them to follow the "Capcom" Trend where they try to ban single player mods for Horizon Forbidden West since Capcom is Nutty as a fruitcake when they said they want to remove single player mods for their games. I mean i'm only interested in White teeth and custom eyes for Aloy but also affects other NPCs though. Some are affected very subtly, while others are more pronounced. Since this texture is shared between NPCs and Aloy, this is unavoidable as far as I know.

They never banned any mods in HZD so I don't see why they would start now.

1) The idea that Nexus banned a face rework mod for Forbidden West is, yes, a lie. The tools don't exist, yet. Now, it's very possible that an attempt was done and it was so buggy and just genuinely bad that the creator removed it, but Nexus isn't banning these mods. If they were, they'd do so for Zero Dawn, as well.

Give it time. I'll bet money that face rework mods are in the pipeline and will be released to Nexus. It's not a matter of "if", but "when".

2) The devs in fact did model Aloy's... erm... chest... in certain Tenakth armor sets. In point of fact, there's some controversy here because if you go to a certain website (a... umm... lover's website that's specifically known for its... let's say... adults-only animation frameworks for Skyrim and Fallout) there's an entire thread talking about it. When Forbidden West was first released, in camera mode you could actually clip slightly under certain Tenakth armor sets and see, in fact that they did model Aloy's chest... and with some very specific details, as well. Unfortunately, when they realized that people were using the camera mode to see this, they both changed the behavior of NPCs in camera mode (specifically Aloy) and removed some of the details for the PC port.

The thread in question on the site in question shows comparison screenshots from early days on Playstation and now.

So no, the reshade toggler that removes armor pieces does not include any added textures. That is genuinely what's underneath the top of that armor set.

Hilariously, this was only done for two Tenakth armor sets. For all the rest, there's nothing underneath the armors at all. And the blue paint is the only layer for the texture, as well, so anyone wanting to put that underneath the rest of the sets will either have to deal with the blue color or recolor it.

Like i said, i'm only interested in White teeth and custom eyes mods for Aloy but also affects other NPCs though. Some are affected very subtly, while others are more pronounced. Since this texture is shared between NPCs and Aloy, this is unavoidable as far as I know and i want to keep in line with continuity from the first game. As for Aloy's face as some players have pointed out not to their liking was because the devs had to fix her face to be more feminine. Had they kept Black Widow's face, (not even sure which version they meant by that) they wouldn't sell the skin for her. Character models are important to gamers, they want some good eye candy during the x hours of time they are playing the game and to me it's the least of my concern.

che dire? steam è diventato una fogna... non serve più assolutamente a nulla, a parte forse il fatto di poterlo usare per fare un regalo a un amico ogni tanto... non serve nemmeno per l'intento di chattare per 2 minuti con qualcuno: è oramai floddato da milioni di disperati.
e ora, non è forse una cazzata replicare a ignavi o macchiette? se i primi sono cibo per vermi i secondi sono puro gas intestinale...
è però inquietante il numero di disperati che floddano questo forum che continua a crescere invece di diminuire, sprecando il proprio tempo a insultare gente che manco conoscono, riflette al massimo il periodo che stiamo vivendo, dove le bombe potrebbero cadere da un momento all'altro e la vita del pianeta è in mano a dei malati di mente. chissà se questo 3d resterà in qualche modo per le generazioni future... è un'immagine inquietante che resterà impressa per sempre nei posteri se l'umanità sopravviverà alle "gesta" del movimento sionista.

as with any game, mods take a while as file structures need to be understood (only going on what ive heard as im not a mod developer) but there are already some decent mods out there, yes nexus page started with savegames and reshades...i wasnt holding my breath for anything more than that, but then dukem released his cheat menu and its like the holy grail, i know some people dont like the idea of modding games and/or using cheats which is understandable in an mmo as its unfair...but this isnt mmo so i say if it makes you happy do it...within the confines of the law atleast. i highly recommend using reshade with add-on and d/load Toggle Fake Light - Volumetric Rays - HUD and more__ Shader Toggler Suite by supersailorgloom. Does wonders for the yellow tint if it bothers you, and also d/load the cheat menu i mentioned as it adds some awesome QOL features.
