📖Mod information

✨ This mod replaces the Wolf/Sekiro character model with Ethel from Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**: You need to install the luminous and translucent material module, otherwise the appearance will be abnormal.

💡 **Design Note**: The character was originally supposed to have an ankle-length coat, but since it didn't work well in the game, I decided to cut it shorter.

✨ Model Features

✅ **Excellent Features**:

  • 🎯 Pretty good bone binding
  • 🎨 Suitable material
  • 💫 Glowing parts (requires glowing and translucent material modules)
  • 😊 Facial animation (eyes don't close completely because they are too big and don't move due to technical issues)
  • 💇 Hair physics (hair will look a little weird in cutscenes)

---

⚠️ Missing functionality

❌ **Currently not supported**:

  • Cloth physics

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
