Inkubator - In-Game Tattoo Pack Editor for Schedule I
🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de/inkubator.
Make a tattoo pack without ever leaving the game. Inkubator opens a 3D tattoo editor right from the main
menu: import your PNGs, place and scale them on the character, preview them live on the real menu rig, and
export a complete, ready-to-publish Inkorporated
tattoo mod - manifest, license and a resized icon included. Built on S1API
and launched through the Side Hustle hub.
Features
- In-game tattoo editor - design a whole pack from the main menu, no image software or JSON needed.
- Import and place - drop PNGs in a folder, then place, move, scale, rotate and flip each tattoo on a UV canvas.
- Live preview - every change is baked onto the menu character instantly, with turn and camera-zoom controls.
- Chest, arms and face - author tattoos per body part, each with its own name, shop price and shop id.
- One-click export - produces a complete Inkorporated pack (manifest, baked textures, README, LICENSE and a 256x256 icon, auto-resized from any source image).
Requirements
- Schedule I (IL2CPP, current Steam public build)
- MelonLoader 0.7.3+
- S1API (ifBars/S1API_Forked) - pulled in as a dependency
- Side Hustle - the main-menu hub Inkubator launches from
- Inkorporated - only needed to use the packs you export, not to run the editor
How it works
Open Side Hustle from the main menu and launch Inkubator. Drop your PNGs in the import folder, place them on
the character per body part, set names and prices, fill in the pack details and hit Export. Your finished
pack lands in UserData/Inkubator/Exports, ready to zip and upload. Anyone who installs your pack together
with Inkorporated gets your tattoos in the in-game tattoo shop.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
