Paz the Hero - A Character Replacement Mod - DS2 - SOTFS

Disclaimer:

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

THIS MOD CONTAINS NO BACKUP FILES. PLEASE BACKUP YOUR GAME FILES BEFORE INSTALLING

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE DURING ONLINE PLAY

You can find the Dark Souls Remastered and Dark Souls III versions of this mod here (DS1R) and here (DS3).

What does this mod do?

This mod replaces the Falconer Set (female) with a custom character model. This is the starting armor for the Knight class.

Install instructions:

1.) I recommend creating a backup of the game directory

2.) Unpack and patch DarkSoulsII.exe with UXM. Found here.

3.) Extract the contents of the downloaded zip to your Dark Souls II game directory. This is where DarkSoulsII.exe exists.

4.) Start a new game as a female Knight (default face/hair only) or equip the Falconer Set (no helmet) on an existing female character with the default face/hair.

Uninstall Instructions:

Download the "Uninstall_Paz_DS2" file and extract the contents into the game directory. This will replace the modded content with the original files.

Alternatively, you could run a Steam integrity check. However, this will almost surely break/remove all of your existing mods.

Known Issues/limitations:

- The scabbard is for show. I might release a model without the scabbard.

- The model is stored exclusively in the leg equipment. The body and hands can be worn without issue. Wearing any other set or the Falconer helm will cause problems.

- Using any face/hair other than the default will cause problems.

- Male characters will have visual issues. I recommend uninstalling this mod before playing a male character. This is because some assets made invisible are shared between male and female.

- Some animations will cause the model to be distorted (minor). Most don't.

1.) Does this work with the original DS2?

I haven't tested this. Verification needed.

2.) Does this work with <insert mod name here>?

I can only recommend using this mod with the base game. I will eventually create a list of verified mods. As always, use at your own risk.

3.) Do you plan to release any other mods?

Yes. Character/Model replacements are likely. This is part of a larger project that may or may not be released.

4.) Will you create a mod using <insert other game model here>? (AKA the I wanna play as Cloud Strife question)

No. To the best of my knowledge, I won't release any mod using unauthorized IP. If you're an aspiring 3D modeler, I might be interested in original assets.

5.) Did you create the 3D model?
