About this mod

Replaces 2B's short hair with A2's long hair, including fully working physics and collisions.

SHORT NOTE ABOUT THE MOD

Lately there has been lots of requests for A2's hair on 2B. Realizing noone has made anything like this before, I decided to give it a shot, mostly because I was curious myself.
Thinking it was a simple Ctrl + C/Ctrl + V task, I was quickly proven wrong by realizing 2B's model is much more technically limited than A2, therefore the hair physics could never be utilized in the exact same way.
Long story short, I did a few workarounds to make it a possibility, and due to 2B's model limitations, this is my best take on the long hair including physics and collisions. It's not 1:1 and there's still unavoidable clipping, but despite that I think this is the closest it can get to how A2 works.
Feel free to use model this as base for your mods if needed, just don't forget to credit me. 
If you come across any unusual behavior, let me know and I'll try to fix the issues (if it's doable).

INSTALLATION

1. Download the mod
2. Go to your game's directory
3. Put the "data" folder from the zip file in your Nier Automata folder and replace when asked, or simply drag both "pl000d" files from the mod in the "pl" folder (you might have to create it) inside your "data" folder

EVEN SHORTER NOTES

- This mod replaces only 2B, if you have any other "pl000d" mod, it will be replaced by this one
- On screenshots I am using my unreleased textures for 2B's outfit, don't ask how, where or when can you get it, I used it just for some better visuals
- If you don't own DLC, simply rename both "pl000d" files to "pl0000". Please keep in mind that this will most likely make her head disappear in some cutscenes
Wolf's Limit Break exe is not needed but I still recommend getting it for future if you plan on modding the game
- With free cam if you pause the game, cloth and hair might readjust on their own and clip through body, making taking screenshots quite difficult
