Please Install Mod After Syria Mission/London Cutscenes If Playing Campaign. Ideally After The Soviet Installation Mission Is Completed

Change-log for Update 2
IMPORTANT: Square Enix/Crystal Dynamic's latest patch completely broke mods and they will not work on the latest build. To play with the mods download the latest version from this nexus page. Next, go to 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' in steam, right click, select properties, select betas and choose the build813. Finish updating then install the mod.
- Lara's with no fringe is installed by default. Editing the hair file is what caused the crashing to happen when the scene transitions from London to Syria at the beginning of the campaign. After you have completed the Syria mission, feel free to install the fringe and glasses options.
- No more crashing when changing outfits at campfire.
- Random crashes at Soviet Installation is fixed.
- The crash during the transition from day to night after Jonah is kidnapped should also be fixed.



Introducing 6 new outfits to Rise of the Tomb Raider, this pack aims to unify Classic and Reboot Lara. Inspired by the iconic 90s models like Rhona Mitra, I wanted her to look mostly realistic with a twist of her classic stylised aesthetic such as the big eyes and lips, small waist and long legs. I also randomly decided to throw in Sarah Connor's outfit from Terminator 2 simply because its 90s and looks cool. Combat ready without being over the top like the other combat outfits in the game.

Each outfit comes with it's own unique hairstyle and a variety of customisable options for you to install such as different make-up styles and the ability to wear Lara's infamous red circular glasses on each outfit. Due to unfortunately not receiving the twin pistols in the reboot Trilogy, I opted to go for a climbing harness instead of the dual holsters. For me it gives a similar effect and matches the look of a rock climbing explorer (far greater than any tribal or combat gear). I opted to go for static hairstyles (minus the hair strands at the front) due to being unhappy with the vanilla ponytails physics, the awful way its rendered and the polygon limit it has, however the Ponytail on the Sarah Connor outfit and the braid on the New Generation outfit does have some movement when you're running and walking. Unfortunately this movement is tied to the animations and not physics based so outside of basic animations the hair will be static. Please find below further details:

- Classic Croft outfit replaces Henley Grey
- Tibetan Snow outfit replaces Remnant Jacket
- Chronicles Inspired outfit replaces Expedition Jacket
- Training outfit replaces Leather Jacket
- Sarah Connor outfit replaces Shadowrunner
- Next Generation outfit replaces Desert Tank Top

Lara's Face:
- Slimmed down Cheeks
- Larger, more feline shaped eyes
- Bigger Lips
- Wider, shorter nose
- Less bulky chin
- Bigger forehead
- Slightly thicker, arched brows
- Smoothed skin
- Slimmer neck

Optional Aesthetics:
- Glasses no Strands: Red circular glasses with no front hair strand pieces
- Glasses with Strands: Red circular glasses with front hair strand pieces
- No glasses no Strands: No glasses with no front hair strand pieces
- No glasses with Strands: No glasses with front hair strand pieces
- Classic Makeup: Darker cat eyes with nudey brown, lined lips
- Classic Makeup with Berry Lips: Purpley pinky berry lips similar to Lara's Angel of Darkness appearance
- Natural Makeup: Lighter lips and eyes, more natural looking

Note: No glasses with hair strands and classic makeup is installed by default. I included them as additional folders in case you wanted to alternate between each option and revert back to the default without having to reinstall the entire mod.


Installation:
1. Download and follow the instructions of the mod injector from here.
2. Before installing, make sure build813 is selected in steam (Rise of the Tomb Raider, Right Click, Properties, Betas, select build813). Please make a backup copy of the "bigfile.update3.000.000.tiger" file.
3. Once a copy has been made, please extract the mod 'rar' file and drag and drop the 'Classic Unified Pack' folder into the 'InstallMod.bat' that is now in your Rise of the Tomb Raider directory.
4. When the 'InstallMod.bat' opens and asks for your input, press 'y' then enter and the mod will start installing.
5. Play the game after the .bat tells you it has finished, and turn pure hair off in settings.
6. OPTIONAL: If you are installing one of the above 'Optional Aesthetics', just drop the corresponding folder into the .bat after 'Classic Unified Pack' is installed. This wont take nearly as long.

Note: Installation will take a while but this is normal. Don't close the .bat down until installation has completed.

Bugs:

1. The engine renders transparency on Lara's hair terribly, especially when a lighting source is illuminated behind it. Sometimes you will see spots missing on the mesh, or Lara's scalp being somewhat visible. This cannot be fixed as it's an engine issue, however it's not overly noticeable.

2. The Sarah Connor outfit unfortunately does not work with the red circular glasses. For some reason, only half of it renders.
