(Classic) Base Appearances Special Expansion

Base Appearances Special Expansion (BASE) is a base mod that adds more appearances for several characters. By itself, it doesn't do anything but setup the character entities, quests, community, and related cutscene files, so mod authors can create new mods utilizing the new appearances without meddling with these files. This, in turn, will cut down mod building time tremendously and will also ensure high compatibility from character appearance mods created by different authors.

This base mod has the same philosophy as the "Character Appearance Extensions" mod by Jatodude1. However, this was created to be more flexible when adding new appearances and easier for me to manage compatibility with all of my mods (and anyone who wants to create mods using this base). If you have used my Dynamic Costume mods or Immersive Torture mods, you would know that I've added new appearances for the related characters using this method. Now, with BASE, you can create your own version of the Dynamic Costume, change how Margarita looks during and after prison, etc.

Special thanks to the Brothers in Arms team (PaulR0013, MerseyRockoff, konyme) for letting me integrate several BiA fixes and MegaBound2500 for bundling them into BASE. See changelog v2. 3 for more details.

Q/A:

• []Will there be new character or new appearances added in the future? Maybe, depends on suggestions and if it's possible.

  []What if you decide to remove an appearance you added in a future BASE update and break my mod? Don't worry. Any future BASE update will only add appearances, never remove or name change to prevent current mod breakage. The only exception to this is if the appearance in question breaks the game.

  Features:

  • []New appearances for Ciri, Triss, Yennefer, Margarita (and possibly more characters in the future).

    []Ensure high compatibility from character appearance mods created by different authors, if they use this BASE.

    []Each mod has its own separate toggle in Gameplay options.

    []Cuts down mod building time tremendously.

  • Several built-in vanilla bug fixes (ie. Margarita and Philippa missing legs and shoes).
