Becoming Claire - Leon/Ada Replacement Mod

Play as Claire Redfield throughout the main story of "Resident Evil 4: Remake" and the "Path of Separation" DLC! This mod replaces Leon or Ada's model with Claire, allowing you to experience the full campaign as her. From cutscenes to gameplay, Claire will take center stage and be fully integrated into the story.

Becoming Claire - the Leon-Ada Replacer

✨ **Hey kings, queens, and all the non-binary royalty out there! ** ✨

After I posted my last video demo, I had a few people DM me asking me to release this mod - so, here it is!

This is a simple but well-polished replacement mod that allows you to play the **main story** and **"The Road to Separation**" DLC of "Resident Evil 4: Remake" as **Claire Redfield** throughout.

🙏 Thanks

Special thanks to **Foreverfield** (and the team behind the Definitive Playable Ada for Main Story mod) for their "technical know-how" in facial animation and for allowing me to use it here.

📋 Additional details

• ⚖️ **Proportion Preservation**: Claire retains her original height and body shape - **not** scaled to fit Leon's model.
• 🎬 **Animation**: A mix of Leon and Ada's animations (mainly Ada's) for smoother overall movement and a more natural feminine pose.
• 🎨 **Model Details**:
• **Body and Hair** Ported directly from Resident Evil 2: Remake.
• **Head** is custom sculpted from **Ada's base model** to ensure correct proportions and facial deformation.
• Added physics effects to **Hair, Necklace and Backpack** - works in normal and strong wind conditions.
• Added **neck collar** (for fashion... but also to hide the seam between head and body, since RE4R uses different split points 😉).

⚠️ **NO COVER**: Sound effects, model viewer and VFX remain unchanged - this mod is purely focused on the model and animation aspects.

• **Path of Separation - Black Detective Outfit** and some accessories (such as the cat ear suit) may look "weird" (accessories that change hairstyles **don't work there**).
