You know what would be great for this mod... a picture of the front of the dress for the mod page. Don't get me wrong, I'm applauding the back. Just... a front picture for posterity.
This is what this game desperately needs. Perhaps you can write an article about how you find this stuff out from the game. I can't believe they did have the mechanism for this to even function - I thought it was all cloth-bones physics.
A lot of npcs use this system. They never made it for V, because it's resource heavy, and the game is meant for fpp only anyway. If you want the easiest way to find these, just type: "cloth_proxy" in WolvenKit. Usually, the clothing using this system has matching cloth_proxy.mesh.

Obviously you would have to perform modding voodoo to actually make it to load properly, as simple mesh swap or entity swap wouldn't work. For this mod, I am loading the dress through the body appearance (.app file).
(Back in the day I used to be loading Hanako's jacket (also physics enabled), through the hair app swap - loaded an entire Hanako character as hairstyle for V, and then made each part of her invisible, apart from the jacket, and wore a wig to get the hair back, haha. Now we can simply copy components from one appearance to another in wkit by drag-and-drop)
You might be familiar with app swaps, even if you aren't a modder, as they are used for joytoy swaps ("have sex with Keanu Reeves mod").
yea that totally makes sense, the segmented swaps. I used to mod armour for remnant and you just gotta workout where to add cloths and which piece to make invisible.
I'd love to dig into this. it will take sometimes to understand all the structures though.
