I managed to edit Molly's hair and make it longer! Now I'm thinking about other hairstyles I want to try...

I think this might be the first 3D game mod that I've seen for HM/SoS that focuses on editing models. Good job.

Thank you!!! Sadly, I’m far from developing any tools for this and attempting to add any geometry (this mod only replaced geometry) crashed the game. I’m going to continue my work and hopefully I can go further with this because I think it’d open up a lot of possibilities… ^w^

Another hairstyle I made

I've always thought the SOS had huge untapped modding potential. Most of the mods I've seen are for the spritework games and are usually just adding in same gender marriage.

Nice work OP.

Thank you again!! I'll work on this more when I have the time, for the time being I'm mainly focused on extraction so I can document how the format works. :>

I don't supposed you've been back to revisit this? This is so cool... I want to give them longer hair! :lala:

Indeed I have!! It has been small amounts of progress, but the model tools work better and I'm working on allowing the characters to be animated. In the end, I want it to be able to import/export models, textures, and animations. Texture editing and model exporting (to a computer) are the only features fully operational right now.

Progress with animation skeletons.

...In addition, I just finished the first version of a widescreen mod for the game! It can be downloaded here, and works with Riivolution/Dolphin Emulator and the NTSC-U (American) version of the game.

Your work is awesome!

I remember editing the r0m so that I could play as Vivi in AP, but it was just a model swap for an already existing model. And in the end I didn't play as Vivi much, because I couldn't stand her weird pantaloons and had no skills to edit them to look like a skirt. If you ever feel like it, maybe give it a go? :P I'd download such a mod right away to fulfill my long-time dream to have her and Gale make up and marry :heart:

The new haircuts are great, are you planning to make them into downloadable patches, by any chance? :bunny:

Ahhh, so cool!

I've done several things for personal playthroughs with editing textures, swapping models and playing around with it. I've played the game so many times... the thought of being able to do something new with the models themselves is so exciting. I've been meaning to make some dialogue edits to the game too, to spice things up a little more... I eagerly await your tools as well!

That’s… an interesting idea, actually! I could imagine a character creator tool for the computer, and then you could export your character as a patch to load on a console!
