Replace weapon while retaining hair accessory

Fix accessory removal with custom weapons in Stellar Blade. This prerequisite mod ensures hair accessories stay visible when replacing weapon meshes, and it runs with Scarlet’s Katana 4 EVE.

This mod acts as a prerequisite patch that solves a common issue when replacing weapons in Stellar Blade: hair accessories disappearing. Normally, custom weapon replacements interfere with accessory meshes.

This utility mod prevents that, allowing custom weapons to coexist with head accessories like hairpins, earrings, etc.

Features:

• Retain hair accessories when using custom weapon mods
• Enables clean and compatible mesh swaps
• Works with any weapon model created using the game’s weapon skeleton

How to Use:

1. Create your custom weapon model using the game’s weapon skeleton.
2. Rename your assets as follows:
   • Skeletal Mesh: SK_mod
   • Physics Asset: PA_mod
   • Skeleton: SKEL_mod
3. Place all assets in the folder path: SB/Content/Art/Character/Weapon/
4. Package them into a .pak file and name it: 2_999999_P.pak
5. Place your .pak file in the game’s mod folder alongside this prerequisite mod: StellarBlade/SB/Content/Paks/~mods

Installation (for the prerequisite mod):

• Place the prerequisite .pak file into your ~mods folder: StellarBlade/SB/Content/Paks/~mods (Create the folder if it doesn’t exist.)

Compatibility:

• Required for any weapon mod that aims to retain head accessories.
• Should be loaded together with any weapon replacement .pak using the provided structure.
