Anthony Prince Model Swap (W.I.P)

About this mod Machine translation
So I really don't like the way Tony looks now, so I'm like, shit lemme did something. I've noticed in the past like the four dlcs, the new characters introduced by R* just reuse the head shapes of the MP character clothing models (see Bogdan, Tony, the latest Lazlow, Avon, clones of Avon, etc.). This just makes it easier for us to swap out clothing components. So here I am trying to replicate his TBoGT look, but I'm having some trouble.
The reason I used a shirtless business shirt is because the cuffs on the cuffed shirt don't have anything close to fitting to the Tony. Also, the reason I didn't give him a draw is because I don't know how to edit the player.ymts and add the costume component. However, his hair and overly tanned skin are something I will have to work on later.
Otherwise, this is just a proof of concept to let everyone know how easy it is to recreate the old Tony. I just suck at costume editing. If anyone wants to help or make their own old Tony based on this, please go ahead. Put my name in the credits.
Delete Tony file: mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpbattle\dlc1.rpf\x64\models\cdimages\peds\mpbattle.rpf\

So I really ain't a fan of what Tony looks like now, so I thought, shit lemme do something about that. I noticed for the past like four dlcs, new characters that R* introduces are just head models that reuse clothing models from the MP Character (see Bogdan, Tony, the newest Lazlow, Avon, Avon's clones, etc). That only makes it easier for us to swap out clothing components. So here I am trying to replicate his TBoGT appearance, but I ran into a few troubles.
The reason I'm using the uncuffed business shirt is because the cuffs on the cuffed shirt don't have anything remotely close to rig onto Tony. Also, the reason I didn't give him a tie is because I have no idea how to edit the player.ymts and add clothing components. His hair and overly tanned skin however is something I'll be working on later down the line.
Otherwise, this is just a proof of concept to let everyone know how easy it would be to recreate the old Tony. I just suck at clothing editing tho. If anyone wants to help out or make their own old Tony using this as a basis, go ahead. Just drop my name in the credits.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
