Pauldron Be Gone

And this one's for me (◡‿◡✿)

The first variant looks just like the default armor because it is. Except I fixed a tiny seam issue that's been bothering me for the last two years.

Am I the only person in the world who even noticed that issue? Most likely. Am I delighted to finally have been able to defeat my Enemy Number One, my Arch Nemesis? Also yes.

The mod only has 4 variants but you can modify them with the Swappable Parts I've included in the Optional Files.

Important information:

1. Latest version of the game (v1. 5. 80) is required for the mod to work (may work with older versions but it is not guaranteed).

2. The modding tool is still in early stages:

- every once in a while the shaders for replaced meshes may not load properly, which will result in the outfits looking mangled or missing parts, or with textures flickering - reloading the save file should fix this.

- zooming the camera out far enough may reveal low res meshes or textures of the original outfits.

3. This mod is not compatible with other mods that modify the meshes of the same character, texture-only mods should be possible if they don't use a .core file. Keep in mind that I did "fix" some of the textures, painted in missing parts and removed shadows that were no longer needed, so it is possible that a different Texture Mod may undo that fix.

Installation with Mod Manager:

1. Open the HFW Mod Manager and either drag and drop the mod's .zip into MM's mod list OR paste the .zip into your game installation folder to \Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition\mods\ and click "Refresh Mod List" (unpacking the .zip is optional).

The second option is preferable, since it adds all mod variants at once instead of needing to drag the .zip separately for each variant.

2. If you have already imported/packed mods before, you need to manually Restore Game Files first before opening the MM for the first time.

3. Tick off all mods on the list that you wish to use and click Pack Activated Mods.

4. You can now close the mod manager and start the game.

To uninstall with Mod Manager:

1. Open the HFW Mod Manager again and click "Restore Game Files".
