📋 About This Mod
This mod changes Kylo's deafult skin to one of four re imagined Vader skins. The idea of this mod is to merge the visuals of Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker to see what could have been if Anakin had overpowered the high ground and was able to become the most powerful version of himself.
There are four variations of this mod, all include Anakin's red lightsaber, Anakin's voice lines and Anakin's face (edited to be sith like)
USE IN HVV AND GA AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION: Due to this mod using Vader's lightsaber sounds, it can cause Vader to be invisible. So keep it to co-op and instant action. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.
Descriptions of Each Variation:
- []Prime Darth Vader (Armored)
Leather like outer robes to imitate ROTS Anakin's leather sections
Darkened hair to match the overall aesthetic (Default color was out of place)
Republic symbol removed
Weathering and dirt added to armor, leather and robes
- []Prime Darth Vader (Armored & Hooded)
- []Prime Darth Vader (Robed & Hooded)
Retextured default Kylo hood
- []Prime Darth Vader (ROTS)
Notes:
-
[]I couldn't figure out how to get yellow eyes (highly requested) so here's a mod that will do just that.
[
]I chose to replace Kylo instead of Darth Vader because I didn't want Anakin to move around like an old burnt dude with robo limbs.[]The hilt used is actually the one from Luke's Hoth skin because using Anakin's just kept crashing unfortunately.
[]This mod will affect Anakin's other skins (some more than others) All Anakin skins will have emo eyes and possibly darker hair
[]Other Kylo skins still have Kylo's voice but will have Anakin's red lightsaber
[]I don't know if cannon lore would mean that Anakin would have to construct a new hilt or not, but I prefer his lightsaber anyway.
[]I plan on making Anakin's jedi robes all black in the future, but am running into difficulties with it currently
Known Issues:
- []Because this mod gives Kylo Vader's lightsaber sound effects, there is a chance that it will cause Vader to go invisible. For that reason I recommend this mod be left out of HVV and GA. That being said, I have not experienced this issue in HVV personally.
