Original E3 and Concept Art Pants (ArchiveXL)

[]Male Variant + Gender-Dependant Item (v3. 0): Huge thanks to manavortex for his wiki tutorials that showed me how to finally create gendered preview icons. The latest version can now be equipped on Male PCs - but it will look nothing like the female variant. I used the gray cargo pants we saw in the original Cosplay Concepts / Character Art. The item AND its icon will now change depending on the player character's gender.

Everyone who plays Cyberpunk 2077 remembers the Original Female V we saw in the 48 Minute Gameplay Trailer. E3 V used to wear a very distinctive pair of leather pants. What might surprise most people (or at least me) is that the leather pants from the E3 trailer actually still exist in the game's files.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the "Racers" most of us have already found in the game that are all colours of the rainbow looking ridiculous. I mean the exact same 3D model seen above, with all the same pre-existing textures and fixtures, are already sitting there in the game's archives. Why these aren't actually in the game itself is something mortal minds aren't meant to understand.

These were actually featured in a ton of the game's concept art - including the Cosplay concept arts put together by Maul Cosplay and Maja Felicitas for CDPR. If you're a sucker for old concept art material like me, then this should definitely be a selling point.

DONATIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED

I just set this all up a minute ago. It all feels very awkward. If you like my content, donations would be greatly appreciated. If not, I understand. This is just a free-time hobby.

ArchiveXL / TweakXL VS. SINGLE ITEM REPLACER

This item was originally a simple model swap. Later on, I started playing around with the WolvenKit and found a way to change one AND ONLY one item in a set and this became a "Single Item Replacer." After finally joining the rest of the CP2077 modders about a year late, I turned this into an ArchiveXL/TweakXL mod. As of v3. 0, you can now equip this item on Male PCs—BUT IT WILL NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE FEMALE VARIANT.

The original Maul Cosplay Concept Art and the artbook character concepts show Female V wearing the leather racer pants and Male V wearing gray cargo pants, so I went and used the base-game Media Set Cargo Pants as a male variant. I only did this because I personally can't stand having Male / Female V exclusive mods that can't be equipped when you switch characters. Huge thanks to manavortex for his wiki tutorials that showed me how to finally create gendered preview icons.
