 Piercings for Rook 


UPDATE (09/02/2025)

✧ Helmets/Piercings Show Up At The Lighthouse Workaround by Maze & Mon 

Thanks to the lovely Maze (Mazikeensa) and Mon (khaleesinz), my piercings can be used with their Helmets show up at the Lighthouse workaround,
meaning you don't need to add the piercings/'a_BDY_GEN_DUM_01_Skirt_Cloth' to an outfit in order for them to appear in the Lighthouse.
This also means you can use the piercings with non-modded outfits and modded outfits!

I highly recommend checking out the tutorial if you'd like to use this method.

A HUGE thank you to both of them and all their work! 


✧ Mod Overview 

Gives Rook some piercings and earrings to wear.


Piercings replace
dummy helmet 'Stillness' & dummy skirt 'a_BDY_GEN_DUM_01_Skirt_Cloth'.


FYI: the main version of the mod will NOT appear in the Lighthouse by itself, ONLY in regular gameplay.

A HUGE thank you to Maze for all her work on this!

I won't be taking

I have included a Modder's Resource under Miscellaneous Files if anyone would liketo make conversions for other races themselves.

COMPATABLITY 

This mod replaces the dummy helmet 'Stillness'
and modifies
 the dummy skirt mesh 'a_bdy_dum_01_skirt_cloth'.

 Therefore, it won't be compatible with anything that edits these files including textures.

This mod is currently compatible with Maze's Morrigan Mesh Mashup.

However, it will NOT be compatible with any other mod that affects the 'RootLevel' Description.

If you wish to make this mod compatible with your other mods, 
I recommend following Rainn9's tutorial
with the 
Frosty Project File included in Modder's Resource
.)

✧ Modder's Resource (Miscellaneous Files) 


Included in the Modder's Resource is the Blender fileFrosty Project files and FBX mesh files for all piercings.

These will allow you to create your own piercing variations and adjust them to fit your Rook (see video tutorial below).


Please feel free to share any mods you with them make on Nexus -- credit is always very much appreciated



✧ Lighthouse/Outfit Compatibility (Miscellaneous Files) 

Also in
Modder's Resource is an updated solution to adding/swapping out piercings to your own personal Rook's wardrobe and have them appear in the Lighthouse.

The included example FMOD and Frosty Project mesh swaps Watcher's Robes (dark variant) with Sable Doublet 
and the Dummy Skirt 'a_BDY_GEN_DUM_01_Skirt_Itemaka the mesh that the piercings replace.

To make your own mesh swap outfit with piercings, simply replace Sable Doublet with whichever outfits' 'SimpleAppearanceItemData' you want.
Just remember to also add the outfit's corresponding bundles to the RootLevel Description as well!


FYI: You will still need to install the main mod file or your personalised earrings mod alongside your mesh swap
in order for the earrings to show up with the outfit (otherwise it will show as the vanilla Scarecrow skirt).

I recommend loading your mesh swap BELOW the main piercings mod to avoid any issues.

If you have a personal mod library, make sure to add the following lines to the top of your RootLevel:

gameplay/equipment/armors/partappearances/prtapp_armor_gen_a_bdy_gen_dum_01_autobundlegen

gameplay/equipment/casual/casualequip_disguise_dummy_autobundlegen

I highly recommend Maze's amazing compatibility guide from this modfor making
any outfit compatible with Piercings for Rook 
without using meshes or importing meshes. 

For a more comprehensive guide on mesh swapping and mesh imports, I recommend following Frost's tutoirals.




Custom Piercings For Rook Video Tutorial 



This guide is for those looking to make custom piercings for Rook to wear using the Modder's Resource. 


Requirements

DISCLAIMERS

This mod was made with an experimental pre-release version of Frosty.
When mesh importing becomes more stable in the future, I'll be able to remake the mod to be more compatible with other mods.

These piercings currently have no physics.
This is due to the experimental nature of mesh imports at the moment.

This mod was originally made with Elf Rooks in mind (mainly tested on EF head models), meaning it probably won't look right on other races.

There may be issues with clipping depending on your characters' face shape,
so you may have to do some adjusting in Character Creator to make it fit your Rook.
