then make your own dude if you didn't found something you like the best outcome is to do it yourself
Wouldnt be worth the effort for what would be used on my PC exclusively.
Its just strange that in the past 10 years or so nobody made something like this. Guess evening shadow is unpopular in the far east... or something?

It's infinitely more likely that a mod like this would just be a pain in the arse to make. Modding males is harder than modding females and I think realistically you'd have to actually mess with the meshes to get a good result. Like this sounds like an 8/10 difficulty mod to me.

Really? Because from my highly uneducated point of view - making a shadow across the face (which would probably be used by both sexes, right?) as a tan doesnt look too hard.

But i dont know shit - youre the authority here, given how you actually make cards.

Males use different faces, different tans and I'm not an expert on making male characters, far from it. I have only done modding for female characters. For males I've only ever used mods made by people far more capable than I and I've never tried to go further than using pre-packaged mods. Also tans are one thing, but how does the tan actually map on the face mesh, does the male version even support uneven tan opacity? I don't think a tan would look great either way, personally, but that's a me problem.

But yeah, I would only know where to get started on exploring something like this, when it comes to actually making it all I have is a huge list of questions that, for me, are yet unanswered.

I'm not an authority on how to go about it either, but I feel like if you want like stubble/shadow, I feel like a hair would be better. granted one doesn't exist, but back hair 0 is what I imagine you kind of want, but on the face, and maybe a little patchy. whoever makes hairs, get on it. would be nice to get more options for males w facial hair

Im a hetero guy. How many male cards do you think a hetero guy needs?

Ive actually counted for the purpose of responding to this. 38 male cards...

...to 199 female ones.
im a hetero guy and i like my classes 50 50, the drama is the good thing of this game (but yeah the ratio is abysmal 1749598993241.png 1749599052356.png )

also a LOT of cards this days have nice overrides so I think is better to download every card, maybe you will find nice overrides to use in a new one or find inspiration(?

I wouldnt know how to use them. The only reason i check the character editor is to fix things i dont like about the cards (tits too big; ass too small) and strip them of modules. I have modified a few existing cards for the purpose of turning them into flytraps, but even then the changes were minimal.

Theres other people who keep pumping out new cards like theres no tomorrow. I merely circle around like a vulture and snatch a card or two as i pass by... why do work and put in effort? Teehee

i was fucking around with ppexcli, i used ppex_unpack.bat to convert the ppx files to viewable format (cuz i wanna listen to the voice lines), and ppex_pack_jg2.bat to pack them again, but the repacked ppx files are like half the original size. and obv they cause problems in the game and editor. non-default voices all become silent.

what am i doing wrong? is this a locale issue? is there a manual somewhere that explains the ppexcli folder? Instructions.txt did not explain much

yes ofc i could just take the original files out of the trash, but now im curious about how this stuff works

Can someone check if they can load this card correctly?

I recently installed Artificial Academy 2 [MiniPPX v8] following the guide (that include installing the lastest Council Clothing Collection), but when I try to load that card the torso doesn't appear. I get that: err.png

You can't unpack audio data from PPX and use it for anything. It's lossy. As to why they pack to half the original size, I don't know, but PPX packer was never designed to work with compressed audio because that doesn't exist in AA2 data. This tool isn't at all designed to be friendly to casual users.

TotFit? What's that? You mean "Tot Outfits v5.9". They are supposed to be included in the Council Clothing Collection (The CCC), or am I wrong?

I follow this guide: and I have installed all the mods from step 2 (that include Council Clothing Collection). I've also installed "The Harderlinker" from step 3 as well as "The Texture Starter Packs".

It's strange, only affects some clothes. Example cloth2_fine.png cloth1_err.png
