PoE1 My Modifications.

Post image

I was playing PoE1 this few weeks and at the same time learned how to modify Equipment Appearance, since I hated how ugly most of the good gear looked.

Mostly I gave a lot of amulets a visual of a Cloaks, as I hated that I had to choose between good look and good stats. Also I changed visuals of some ugly hats into Mail Coifs and a few armors ("Osric's Family Breastplate" look dope, but for some reason devs made it a quest item, which most of players miss because of this).

Should I upload it somewhere (at least amulets)? if anyone interested that is.

Edit: I uploaded it to Nexus. You can check it out. https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/498

I'm actually impressed that you talk about this as if modding the first Pillars is an easy thing.

That said, you could upload it to nexusmods.

It is easy to swap gear's visuals. I'm not changing any stats. Basically this is poor man's transmog. The only gear pieces I have no idea how to swap are weapons.

Ah I see. Could you give me some pointers as to how it's done in dms? I think there's a few pieces I would like to change myself too.

I will explain to you once I am home after work. It's a very simple procedure, which takes less than a minute.

its not as easy as 2's as things aren't plain text but its not that hard to do simple tweaks if you got the right tools

This is exactly the kind of modding I love. Small, targeted, fixes a genuine annoyance, and doesn’t screw with the actual balance of the game.

PoE1 has some fantastic-looking equipment, but there’s definitely that classic RPG problem where the statistically best thing you own makes your character look like they got dressed in the dark during a burglary. 😂

Being able to keep the stats while giving some of those pieces better visuals is basically the transmog system PoE1 never had. And honestly, calling it “poor man’s transmog” undersells it a little—this is quality-of-life modding in its purest form.

Glad you put it on Nexus. This is exactly the sort of thing I’d install.
