How to apply mods correctly

[Fishyribbit]

No matter what I do or who I ask, every single outfit I use is missing it's body. The head and arms are still there but the body is completely gone. Does anyone know what is going on?

Sounds like you're missing some prerequisite mods that those outfits depend on.

If you haven't already, you should install the megpack that's posted in a sticky in the modding subforums, it contains a lot of resources that no doubt many newer mods are derived from.

[Slickwilly Johnson]

And outfits are pretty simple to install: Place the outfit's file folder into Haydee/Outfits
You should have somthing like this Haydee->Outfits->YourModFolderHere

You'll also need to put the corresponding .OUTFIT file into the Outfits folder.
If you did this correctly you should be able to see some new outfits in the character selector menu.

So I have to make a new mod folder within the Outfits folder?

[Slickwilly Johnson]

To further explain it: When the game loads it reads the .OUTFIT file, which tells the game which folder to look into for the that outfit's resources ( textures, meshes, etc ) hence why any .OUTFIT file is outside of the target resources folder. ( or at least thats how I think it works )

Likewise, if you install the mod's resources but didn't put the .outfit file in the right place, then the outfit won't show up as an option in the outfit menu at all. In the reverse, if you placed the outfit file correctly, but didn't have the resources installed you'll end up with weirdness like you described.

Where do i find the Megpack? Can you give me a link?

Nah.

Say you downloaded a mod. We'll call it Haydee2. You extract the file onto desktop and it gives a Haydee2 folder and a Haydee2.outfit file. You need to drag and drop the Haydee2 folder and Haydee2.outfit into your Outfits folder.

Megapack should be here.

Makes sense,
Though the outfits only came with
.OUTFIT files
suit.mtl
suit_D

Was suit.mtl and suit_d in a folder when you extracted the file?
If so, put them back in that folder, and place that folder into the Outfits directory.
Also, place the .Outfit into the Outfits director too. ( just not in that folder )

This is the outfit pack I downloaded before, you may think me an idiot but I picked out the outfits I prefered and deleted the others, the outfits I am currently using are:
MegaMilk
MegaMilk shorts
Android

I tried out Topless and that was the only one that worked, however I didn't like it and got rid of it too

[Fishyribbit]

To answer your question from before, everything but the .OUTFIT files were in their own folders

[Slickwilly Johnson]

AH

Yeah, the reason some things weren't working is because they were dependant on another mod.
The best way to be sure everything works is to just install all of them, honestly.

But yeah, Everything SHOULD be in it's own folder within the Outfits folder, EXCEPT the .outfit file, which should be just placed in the Outfits folder.

Is there any way to keep the mods you want without having all of them?
I only want about 3 of them

You'd have to figure out what their dependencies are by cracking open the .outfit file with Notepad++ I think.

In the .outfit file you'll find some code that has references to folder structure that may ( or in your case ) may not be there.

Ok, Thanks! Please stay in touch, I don't know how well this is going to go...
