Key Features
-
[]Built-in overlay -no external tools required. Press Home to toggle the overlay[/]
[]In-game item browser -searchable dropdown auto-categorized by slot (helm, chest, cloak, gloves, boots, necklace, lantern, glasses, mask, backpack)[/]
[]Body-mesh prefab picker -optional per-slot prefab swap for users who want to mix and match individual mesh variants beyond what the item picker exposes[/]
[]Preset system -save, load, rename, and cycle through multiple transmog presets per character[/]
[]Multi-character support -independent preset lists for Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka. Every visible protagonist's preset is applied automatically on world entry (and to followers as soon as they're summoned in-game), and the active preset follows whoever you control[/]
[]Body-type filter -hides items whose body type (male/female) does not match the active character so broken meshes stay out of the picker. Per-character override available in the overlay for body-swap mod users[/]
[]NPC and damaged variants -NPC armor variants and damaged variants render via automatic carrier swap[/]
[]Safety filters -non-player gear (horse tack, pet armor) and wrong-slot items are filtered out by default[/]
[]Per-slot control -enable/disable transmog independently for each equipment slot[/]
[]Optional hotkeys -all disabled by default; bind any action via INI if you prefer keyboard shortcuts[/]
[]Open-source with full transparency[/]
Requirements
-
[]Crimson Desert (Steam version)[/]
[]ASI Loader (Ultimate ASI Loader recommended)[/]
[]ReShade is optional. If installed, the transmog UI registers as a ReShade addon tab. If not, the mod provides its own standalone overlay window.[/]
DO NOT INSTALL VIA MOD MANAGERS. You can if you want, but don't file a bug report here if things don't work.
Mod managers often stage .asi files into their own subfolders. Ultimate ASI Loader scans subdirectories recursively, so the .asi keeps loading even after the manager reports the mod as "disabled" or "uninstalled". Common symptom: transmog still applies after you think the mod is gone.
Install manually by following the Installation steps below. To uninstall, delete CrimsonDesertLiveTransmog.asi and CrimsonDesertLiveTransmog.ini directly from bin64 (not via the manager). If a manager moved your files into a subfolder like bin64/plugins/ or bin64/backup/, delete them from that subfolder too.
Installation
Step 1 -Install an ASI Loader
You need an ASI Loader to load .asi mods. If you already have one (e.g. from another mod), skip to Step 2.
Download the x64 build of Ultimate ASI Loader and place one of the following DLLs into your bin64 folder:
-
[]winmm.dll -Recommended, works for most setups[/]
[]version.dll -alternative if winmm.dll conflicts[/]
[]dinput8.dll -another alternative[/]
Step 2 -Install the mod
[]Download the latest release from the Files tab[/]
[]Extract ALL of the following into your bin64 folder:
[]CrimsonDesertLiveTransmog.asi -the mod binary[/]
[]CrimsonDesertLiveTransmog.ini -configuration[/]
[]CrimsonDesertLiveTransmog_display_names.tsv -human-readable item na

- Real-time swapping means no more restarting the game just to try a new look.
- In-game GUI makes it easy to browse the full catalog without digging through files.
- Solid community traction (416 endorsements, 26k downloads) shows it's trusted.
⚠️ Cons
- It's a beta, so expect bugs or missing polish.

💡 Beginner Tips

- Use the in-game GUI to preview armor before applying—it's faster than trial and error.
- If you use other UI mods, check for conflicts after installing to ensure the GUI displays correctly.
