- Use Non-CSS Mod, a fifth Appearance row on the SHELL tab. It lists every replacement mod installed under
Content/Paksthat changes a shell, enemy or NPC (a container without CSS metadata that ships game assets at their original paths) and wears that character's look on your current shell, the way Use NPC / Enemy does. Left / Right walk the looks, the details window groups them per mod, and Search mods opens the picker. Weapon, effect and other mods are left out. A mod over the shell you are wearing is noted as already shown by the game; two mods over one character are noted as well. catalog/replacement-targets.json, the table CSS reads a mod's package ids against: every game package under the 51 character folders it can wear from, 8,876 packages, built from the game data bytools/build_replacement_targets.py. Recognizing a mod reads a few KB of its.utocand nothing else.- CUSTOMIZE and LOCOMOTION say what a replacement look supports: Ground height, and Default or the CSS feminine idle and walk. MISC and profiles work unchanged.
- A conflict warning, never a block: a patch container that overrides a shared asset CSS depends on (the human skeleton, the player's animation graphs, the shell base classes) is named in
CSS.log, inruntime/status.jsonand at the top of the Use Non-CSS Mod details, since it can make every CSS look fail to apply or animate wrongly. runtime/status.jsoncarriescatalog.replacements,replacement_conflicts,replacement_scan,replacement_errorsandreplacement_targets;CSS.lognames each recognized mod and its folders. See Use Non-CSS Mod.
- Outfit packages with long dye mask names load on a default Steam install (
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\...). The package cache moved fromcache/packages/<id>/<64-hex manifest hash>/tocache/packages/<16-hex manifest hash>/. The old layout pushed the mask temp files of Curvy and Cute (264 characters), BTGG (265) and Beaute Knight Proxima (263) past Windows' 259-character limit, and the failed write rejected the whole package. The longest possible cached path is now 242 characters. - Old-layout cache folders are removed on the next scan.
