Let me start by saying I'm truly not an artist. I borrowed some fanart from a reddit user, here is a link to their profile
https://www.reddit.com/user/Frangipani-Bell/
I've asked for permission to utilize their art, but I never heard back from them so if at any point in the future they want me to take this down (I doubt it, because of a reply saying they'd love a mod for this), I would honor that.
That said, I didn't just copy and paste things over. The artwork was far too small for the actual in-game textures. I expanded the art and traced it by hand, changed some of the details, and colored it on my own.
I am NOT an artist. I think I did an okay job, but it's not going to be a 100% match for the game's art. It took me, gosh.. maybe around 20 hours of work between the art and implementing it into all the necessary textures and repacking the bundles.
Anyway! PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE MOD:
Like I said before, I'm not an artist, I would be unable to free-draw this sort of thing on my own, so Alice's two other alternate "poses" are not going to be showing up if you install this. What will happen instead is that you'll see her default pose. I realize this isn't ideal, but I thought it might be too immersion-breaking for Alice to suddenly appear in her SEED uniform in the middle of a conversation, and then switch back again. I gave her different expressions for those poses instead.
Something else to add in regards to that is because of the expression locations in her two other poses being unable to be changed, when Alice is programmed to switch into those poses, you will not see any blinking or mouth animations happening. Again, I know it isn't ideal, but I don't think it will be too bad. The animations work perfectly fine with her default pose, so this won't be an issue for the vast majority of the time.
HOW TO INSTALL:
It's fairly simple, move the files into Steam\steamapps\common\Rune Factory 5\Rune Factory 5_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64
To uninstall it, have steam verify the integrity of the game files. It will recognize the files as unoriginal, and download the original files back into your game, good as new. Alternatively, you can create back-ups of the effected bundles and save them somwhere to swap them back out. If you update the game, you may need to re-install.
I would love to see someone actually create a better version of this. Maybe someone more artistically inclined who can do that, plus draw her other two poses in this dress. If it ever happens, I'll probably take this down, but I wanted to upload this just in case that doesn't happen. But seriously, someone should grace us with a more complete set of textures. ?
Anyway, I truly hope a few people out there can enjoy this. If you stand by for another few days, I will be uploading a BRUNETTE Alice version of this mod, which will include edits to her pajamas, swimsuit, and 3D models for each!
Thank you!!
