📋 About This Mod

This mod changes the hood on the default outfit (and any that uses the default hood) and also adds in physics effect. You can choose to use either the HoodNormal version (doesn't enforce hoodup in cutscenes), or the HoodStatic version which does.

Installation:

This mod requires the use of the AnvilToolkit. For HoodNormal version, simply drop the two files within the mod folder into \Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Asia\Extracted\DataPC_extra_chr.forge, then repack.

For 

HoodStatic

version, you'd also need part of the mod by kamzik: https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedivblackflag/mods/479. Drop all 4 files from the mod folder into 

\Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Asia\Extracted\DataPC_extra_chr.forge

,  also place the 56_-_Static_Hood_ActionBlock.data from said mod into \Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Asia\Extracted\DataPC_patch.forge. Then repack. To uninstall simply delete the mod files and repack.

Optionally, you can use the cover art retexture I use by dropping the file into \Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Asia\Extracted\DataPC_extra_chr.forge.

Note: The Hoodstatic version has slightly toned down physics effect to accomodate the cutscene closeups. The extra 2 files for the Hoodstatic version is to prevent the mod from messing up the other two hoods, they remain unchanged. Neither the hood nor the retexture is meant to closely match the CG or cover art.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple file replacement, back up your original game files before overwriting — just in case you want to revert.
  • Check if the mod requires any specific folder structure (like a 'Textures' folder) — if unsure, look at the mod's file layout after downloading.
  • If you're using a mod manager, you can preview the hood change before applying to ensure it's what you want.
