Mod to play as A2 model over 2B?

[˞]

I really want to play as A2 in her DLC outfit of older-brother Nier, all the time & with long hair, instead of 2B or default A2.

Just a model swap, not the character itself swapped with its gameplay mechanics, just the look of A2. Is there a mod to do this?

And I wanna play as A2 like this from the start of her story too. I don't want to have to unlock it and only have short amount of play time as A2 like this.

This way in future installs I can always play as the character I love from the get go at any point in the game.

Does anyone have any advice? I really love long hair, older brother-Nier A2 :(

You can use A2, 2B or 9S by editing Slot.Data_n.Dat .(Using Notepad++)

This video tells you how to do that↓

This is not a mod, so you can use A2's ability!
However, I can not change A2,2B or 9S in some story part(I don't know why).
So, If you wanna use A2 in those part, you need to use mod.

***PLEASE BE SURE TO USE Notepad++***

If you do not use Notepad++ and using other textediter, your save data will be corrupted.

Next, about A2's long hair.

you can use Hidden command (This is the way to see E end soon.) after won the first Boss.

This video maybe teach you how to do that↓

After you do that, you can get A2's long hair wig and you can use it to A2.

*** BE CAREFUL. If you choose to see E end, your all save data wil be deleted.***

I do not use any mods that replace a character with A2, so my comment might not be the things that you want to know,I'm sorry. And sorry for my poor English.

Changed active android to A2 (route A), played a bit, then suddenly after awhile I can neither interact with anyone nor save. Any idea why that might happen and how to avoid it?

Sometimes, it happend to me except for saving.
I loaded game by using transporter and then, I could interacted with NPC. But I don't know why you cannot save your data, I'm sorry :(

thank you for your help but this is swapping the playable character, when I simply want to change the skin of 2B to resemble that of A2 in her NieR Replicant grey outfit + long hair, but still play and function as 2B would just looking different, a model swap, not a playable character swap...

Am I making sense?

I am desperate for a mod to do this and would be willing pay someone if he can get it to work.

oh, okay. I searched it and finally found that mod.
you need to download this mod from the link below.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nierautomata/mods/82?tab=files&file_id=944

(If you want to download this mod, you need to make nexusmods account. Don't worry, It's easy.)

After unzip the files, you need to make folder named "pl" in here↓

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NieRAutomata\data

and you need to put the unzipped files in the "pl" folder.
(Maybe unzipped files are named as "pl000d.dat" and "pl000d.dtt")

Then, simply start the game, 2B model was already swapped for A2.(Of course she has long hair!!).

About DLC outfit of older-brother Nier↓
If you equip the "kaine's clothes", you can wear the "Nier clothes".

I hope this tips will help you :)

Thank you so much!
It seems to be working... I think!
I just now need a mod to have access to all DLC outfits from the start by default without needing to unlock them via the coliseum challenges
