Thank you so much for this truly useful mod. It really helps with the immersion now since we can customize Alexios/Kassandra. Adjusting Myrrine according to the player characters edits is awesome. I'd also like to applaud you for this wonderful mod presentation. All of those preview pictures make it very easy and convenient to apply the changes you wanna make to Myyrine easily.
I don't really have new mod ideas, but once I'm done playing Valhalla, I'll start working on the customizers (for Kyra, Natakas/Neema and maybe Phobos) that I promised several months ago.
These are some interesting prospects. Do you intend merely for visual changes for Natakas/Neema or even for replacing one with the other? If plot flags can be altered so that Alexios would always get the Natakas route and Kassandra the Neema route would certainly appeal to many players.
I've been looking into modding using the blacksmith tool/forger myself but so far I can't wrap my mind around what blacksmith shows me. :/
It will probably only be an appearance customizer for Neema and Natakas (i.e. to change basic things like hair style, hair and eye colour ...). I've tried to replace one with the other but I only managed to swap them visually, I couldn't find a way to swap their voices as well. I never uploaded the mod on Nexusmods for that reason but I can send it to you if you're interested.
Altering plot flags should be the way to go, but I don't have a list that references them, I don't really know in what kind of files they are used and I'm not even sure what they should look like. But I will definitely do more research on this in the future and hopefully something useful will come out of it.
And don't worry, modding Odyssey (and any other recent AC games) is difficult, especially if you're not familiar with hex editing. You can read hypermorphic's articles here and here to get started. I will be busy until the end of the year, but don't hesitate to contact me at the beginning of January if you have a mod idea and need help.
It seems that editing plot flags would be the next level of modding the AC games. It would make swapping Natakas and Neema with each other much easier for sure.
I read those two articles hypermorphic wrote. Apparently they are meant to followed along instead of being read like a book but now I understand why I don't understand modding the AC games yet. My approach was completely off. This is a very complex topic and hex editing adds an additional layer of challenge for me. It makes mods like those visual customizers even more impressive. These weren't done easily in just a few minutes.
Thank you very much for offering guidance. I'd certainly remain lost otherwise. For Odyssey I'd have three small ideas. I'd also have an idea for Origins which could spiral into something bigger. That I should for much later.
I'm really curious to see what you have in mind for Origins, as there are so few forger mods for this game. Anyway, I'm back, so feel free to contact me at any time if you need help.
Hi, I'm wondering if you'd be interested in replacing Natakas with Brasidas or Thaletas for example. I really wish someone would make a Natakas replacer mod or customizer because imo he doesn't match Kassandra's "lover" type. Also, are you already working on the mod/have something in mind since it's been a year already? Thank you :)
Do you know where I can learn about modding this game (other than the Forge mod post)? All I want is to change some objects used for decoration of the game world, like the city banners - I want to remove them
it would be great if you do the same on valhalla , petra or randvi , their looks are literally meh for seconday characters that you can romance or interact with a lot
Hi I tried to replace the athenian heavy soldier by changing their archetype and preferences, because it annoyed me that the heavy soldier athenian has no shields, unfortunately I had to reinstall the game because I failed to do it and I had to download 27 GB, let me know if you can I will be very grateful
You just reminded me I promised a customizer for Kyra to another user a long time ago (but real-life stuff got in the way and then it slipped my mind) so this will be the next mod I'm going to release. I'll work on it as soon as possible, but it probably won't be until the end of the month, sorry.
Which character(s) would you like to replace Kyra with?
If this is possible, do you think it is also pssible to get a customizer for the Legacy DLC so people could swap Natakas with Neema? I know there would still be the problem of the voices but it would be one step closer to undo Ubi's hetconned move.
It should be possible to make a customizer for Natakas and Neema, but I won't be able to look into it before mid or end of september, as I have some real life stuff to take care of and some mods to finish first.

Everything concerning this mod is formidable!
Thank you very much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me!
Do you have any ideas for additional mods for this game?

Ideas and some blind enthusiasm included ;)
I'm trying to make mod to swap npcs with another, but it seems almost impossible.... is there any advice you can give me?
greetings
thanks for the mod :))
