Advice on Modding?

[Tomboy Supremacist]

Two years ago, I began the arduous task of trying to mod the game - that is, a proper mod and not just a graphical overhaul for which one already exists for the game. However, as I pulled apart the game to its roots, I soon realized something.

I had no idea what on earth I was doing.

Going into the files of this game is unlike anything I've ever seen. .dll's and excel sheets? What is this? Am I insane? Are all the copies like this? Well, it seemed to be judging by the... extra copy I "procured" for verification purposes.

I tried reaching out to the only two published modders of this game on Nexus - to no reply. And so I'm left wondering... what do I do now? I haven't touched the game since then, thanks to a limited replayability factor by my opinion, but I'm still interested in trying.

Does anyone know how, or if, I can get to the meat of the game? I mean specifically the code like unlock prerequisites for the clothing shop and such. I'll learn Assembly if I have to, so long as someone can show me how to actually worm my way into the files of the game in a comprehensive way.

Modding a game would, in most cases, require the presence of a "Software development kit" (SDK) meant to allow random people to expand the base game.

For example, Fallout 4 has it's own "creation kit", that allows easy modding.

More experienced people could try to break down the game packages, read them in a meaningful way, come up with stuff to add/modify/replace, and make sure the game would create/detect the trigger condition.

Devs never release the SDK, so good luck modding anything. lol

Hey, I can't say I know anything about modding this game but I'm super interested in at least trying to. Would love to see any progress you might or might not have made!

I haven't touched the files in quite some time unfortunately as I've moved into other projects, but a collaborative effort wouldn't be unappreciated. Feel free to reach out as to how and when you'd like to do so.

The game appears to use a similar engine and file system to the Spider Man games. The mod tools for those games could possibly be adapted for SO.
