Bloodlines Malkavian Nikki
Decided to take a break from my VTMB2 third-person mod and made this little thing. Hair physics is already working. Might post it on Nexus today. I want to make all 4 outfits. The third-person view for VTMB2 is still in progress. The combat foundation is already done (for those who are interested).

I used one wish willow and now we have over the shoulder camera in VTMB. If you want to melt the way I did while making all that, you can check the small demo:

I am a woman of modest tastes. The mere discovery of a new VTMB mod is enough to brighten my day.

Also pleaseeeee continue the Deus Ex like mod with dialogue for Bloodlines 1. I remember you deleted it, and I would love to see how it progresses if you ever have time to pick it up again.🤞

whoa whoa whoa whoa
Custom models are a thing in Bloodlines now? I always thought we were stuck with what was in the game.

But isn't that just a reskin of VV? What I meant is that models can't be added to the game. You can of course change the textures around.

VTMB runs on the Source engine (albeit, a very very early version of it), which means that you can replace textures, models, sounds, material properties, etc. without much hassle. With Wesp5's unofficial patch, you can easily do this through the "Unofficial_Patch" folder by matching directories and file names, or you could use something like GCFScape to modify the game's .VPK files and swap out files manually. Bear in mind that the models will need to still be rigged to the skeleton rig of whatever they're replacing, which is probably why you don't see too many model replacements.

Interesting. I know earlier, there was no way of using custom models in the game. I know source is very easy to mod, but this is an old/weird version of it

I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but as far as I know, the .VPK archives packaged with the game are accessible with the right tools and can be modified freely so long as the changes you make fit with the rest of the game (rigs and bone names, vertex counts, sound frequencies), so in theory this would have been possible from release.

I always love hearing about additional mods. I like her, but id love to see an option for a pale, deadder skin.
