📋 About This Mod

If you thought the buff body needed just a bit more oomph, this mod's for you.  At first I only made this for personal use, but figured I might as well clean it up a bit and release it publicly.   Replaces innerwear type 2

NOTE:  The secondary pigment does nothing, but since this mod references the base game body textures, you won't need to manually match skin tones.

Via FirstNatives

Extract the rar file and drop the natives folder into your game directory much as if it were a .pak file.  Overwrite if prompted.

Via Fluffy Manager 5000 (CURRENTLY BROKEN)

Drag & drop the RAR file onto Fluffy and check the box to enable it.  (AT THE MOMENT OF WRITING, THIS WILL CAUSE ISSUES.  USE FIRSTNATIVES INSTEAD.)

Optional Files

Same as with the Main file: Drag & Drop into Fluffy and then enable.

Make sure to install and enable the Main file first before adding and enabling any optional files.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Manual Installation (PAK version)

I include a pak version of the main file for all of my mods. To install, simply drop the extracted pak into your game directory (Yours may vary, but mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MonsterHunterRise). If you have multiple paks, they must be numbered sequentially, starting with 002.

I recommend against using this version unless you have to. While simple and easy to do, you lose a lot of control over your game files and if you install more than a handful of mods, managing them can quickly become problematic.

However, if you still want/need to use PAK versions regardless, Serah has done a wonderful short tutorial on how you can convert ANY mod into a PAK, which you can find here.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Uninstall

Via Fluffy all you need is to disable the mod. You can then delete it either manually in your mods folder or through fluffy.

If you are using the PAK version, just delete the PAK file. If you have multiple pak files, make sure any and all mods installed after this one are re-numbered so that everything is once again numbered sequentially.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Recommendations

Though not strictly required, I highly recommend...

Fluffy Manager 5000 - offers the best way to manage and enjoy multiple mods and the additional options at once

  • Check the mod's comments for any user-reported compatibility notes with popular body mods.
