Description
As i was gathering the assets to make this pack, i realized that 90% of everything here was coming from Chimera Squad.

So, i guess two years after the Sacred Coil Pack finally comes the 3rd Chimera pack: Sectoids.

Mod source files can be found here. [drive.google.com]

You can also find this mod at Nexus Mods. [www.nexusmods.com]


INCLUDED SETS:
  • Birthday Suit Sectoid (M, Head, Torso)
  • Sectoid Civilians (M, Face Props, Torso, Legs)
  • Progeny Resonant (M, Torso, Thighs)
  • Shrike Shaman (M, Torso)
  • Shrike Necromancer (M, Torso, Helmets)
  • Gray Phoenix Paladin (M, Face Props, Torso, Legs, Thighs)
  • Gray Phoenix Dominator (M, Torso)
  • Gray Phoenix Tribal** (M, Head, Torso, Helmets, Face Props, Shoulders, Forearms)
  • Verge (M, Head, Torso)
  • Sectoid-Scaled Reaper & Skirmisher Gears (Torso Gear)

**I don't actually know his internal name, i couldn't find it anywhere in the Chimera SDK. His home package was named "Sectoid_Gray_Phoenix" and that's all i got, so i gave him my own name.


FEATURES:
  • Every Sectoid variant from X2 and CS
  • Body Parts for almost every category
  • Facial Animations
  • Colorable Skin & Eyes
  • Tintability for nearly every part

The heads in this pack feature facial animations. Yes, i actually managed to fit them onto the XCOM face rig. This is why they're smaller than the XCOM heads, i had to do a bunch of re-shaping to them.
Their eyes are also fully colorable. Yes, their eyes actually have color to them, they're not just beady black orbs, they have a faint circle of red in their eyes when you look at the default Sectoid's textures.

Most of these sets are one-piece torso parts, but some sets feature modularity in places i could squeeze it in. Everything here is tintable to some degree, except the Necromancer 'cause i like his edgy all-black appearence.

Unfortunately, most of these parts aren't compatible with regular XCOM soldiers.

On the flip side, the Sectoid heads should work fine with mostly anything, provided there's no human skin showing.

Verge's head isn't shaped the same as the regular Sectoid head at the base, so while he should be fine with the other outfits, he'll be hard incompatible with the base sectoid and tribal bodies.


REQUIREMENTS / SUGGESTIONS:
  • Community Highlander - REQUIRED for the heads to work without crashing.

  • Invisible Body Parts For All - REQUIRED for the invisible arms, legs, and so you have a way to take off auxillary body parts.

  • All Armour Avenger - Soft required, because without this, all your sectoid soldiers will use the human underlay uniform when spawned on the Avenger, which will look really stupid.

KNOWN ISSUES:
  • The heads in this pack all use custom eye textures, so if you use EYExtender it'll forcefully overwrite those textures and give you a horrible sectoid monstrosity with hyper-realistic human eyes.

CREDITS:
  • Firaxis - Creators of XCOM 2, Chimera Squad, and every asset used in this pack.

Is it possible to fix Verge's head's size?

@Max I was surprised that the parts appeared on character pool soldiers. I thought their appearance was set.

...Yeah? That's gonna happen, these parts are for regular human soldiers. Any soldier wearing these parts is effectively a human cosplaying as a Sectoid, internally speaking, so of course these parts will sometimes appear during soldier gen.

@Max I had Verge body parts appearing on my character pool soldiers, humans.

Max, what are these golden goggles which show from under the face-scarf on the sixth specimen, at the center there? Any possibility to stretch these to fit an XCOM human (even if only one specific head)?

Would it be possible to make this compatable with the Non-skirmisher ADVENT hybrids mod?

ok Max, thank you.:)

Uh, arms? This pack has no arm parts. It has Forearm and Shoulder parts, which attach to the arms, but no proper arm parts.
sarahi137 Dec 26, 2023 @ 5:14pm 
So everything shows up except the arms. I only get my human arms which looks really big compared to the rest of the body. Any idea why this is happening? BTW really looking forward to making some soldiers with this mod. I have Alba the from Chimeri squad for awhile( also her voice) and she been fun to play with. Thanks for the mod:)
