📋 About This Mod
Description
It’s simple you get the upgrades, but the Jackdaw keeps its default level 1 look. The cannons, mortar, and swivel guns are included, and the hull is changed to match level 1 as well. That’s it no changes were made to any props or other parts of the ship.
Installation instructions
Unpack the DataPC_extra_chr.forge using the Anvil Tool Kit, then copy the file from the zip into the extracted folder containing the DataPC_extra_chr.forge. When prompted to overwrite, confirm it.
After that, use the Anvil Tool Kit to repack the file, and you’re done.
Main features
Change the appearance of the Jackdaw’s max-level upgrades to match the look of its level 1 upgrades.
Requirements
Anvil Tool Kit
Updates
Fixed the collision of the invisible ram that was there, and now there’s no more collision, so you can swim through without climbing onto an invisible ram.
I also added an Elite version with golden guns, but the sails, wheel, and figurehead shown are from the Elite Pack DLC redeemed through Ubisoft Connect.
An Armored Elite edition featuring golden guns was also added.
Added an all-in-one version, but you can only choose one.
Shout outs
I’m recommending a similar mod by xACFanx, as he was the one who inspired the idea. However, his version changes a few things I preferred to keep the same, so I created this as an alternative. All credit goes to him as the original creator, and I’ll be donating points to him in appreciation.
A cosmetic mod for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag that changes the fully upgraded Jackdaw's appearance to look like it has level 1 gear, with a Golden Guns variant. Simple visual overhaul for players who prefer the original ship look.
