📋 About This Mod
I want to preface this by saying that
THIS MOD IS NOT COMPLETE
THIS MOD HAS A LOT OF TECHNICAL ISSUES
I ADVISE AGAINST USING IT IN AN ACTUAL GAMEPLAY
This mod publish is more like a cry for help than a content release.
I am inviting anyone that might (want to) understand NieR:Automata's janky bone physics to fix the problems.
I want it "released" as more like a (bad) proof of concept, a warning, and because I want to move on to other projects.
A warning to anyone that thinks of making a 2B costume mod that includes a veil or some kind of it, and also skirts that are longer than the default.
It is not complete yet not because there are still things to do but because we have no idea to fix the current issues with the bone physics.
This Nun costume is based on Houtengeki's 2B fanart, I modeled and textured it from scratch using 2BBE as the base body mesh, and then rigged it to the default 2B armature with extra physics bones. After that, Fog Battleship Tosa continued the port to the game, including enabling, adding, and configuring the custom bone physics and collisions.

KNOWN ISSUES (this is more like a rant)
There are a lot of issues about this mod that I don't even feel like listing them all.
The clipping issues are everywhere making the mod unworthy of any proper playthrough.
Like, there is probably a good reason why the DLC extra outfit only adds new physic bones to the hands, as kimono sleeves, for example because anything more complicated than that, like a veil, or skirt that is longer than the default, are very troublesome.
The veil keeps clipping into the body.
The front pelvic skirt gets inside the body the moment you start to run.
The whole physics shits itself the moment you do anything other than just standing still or walk slowly.
And a myriad of other issues.
COMMENT FROM TOSA
Even though the physics package is like 90% a copy of shinobi, this is somehow the most cursed mod I've touched. And there's one someone is making where physics just refuses to load at all. This is worse than that. The physics, I assure you, are better than when I first got the mod. I discovered in the process that absolutely none of the tools we use for physics actually work the way we thought they did, and had to completely redesign the physics from the ground up like 4 times. I had to push an update to one of the tool's online repositories because of this mod. The complete rework is so comprehensive that I was able to send it back to the shinobi mod and make that one significantly better.
In the actual game itself, the collision boxes move ahead of or behind the body as you run uphill or downh
