Fuc fact, I was looking for this mod to make Blake & Yang as soldiers lol

Quick note since it took me ages to figure why this mod "wasn't working" on my end: turns out it was working fine, but the ears are marked as bVeteran=true , which means that only "veteran" soldiers can equip them. So they just weren't showing up for my test soldiers, because none of them were "veterans".

You can manually edit the XComContent.ini that comes with this mod to make them available to all soldiers - just change the bVeteran=true occurrences to bVeteran=false .

@Zebuta man you got own so bad XD one of the most famous XCOM 2 Modders OF ALL TIME A (G.O.A.T) just called you out LMFAO

This mod does work with WOTC.

This mod doesn't work with WOTC.

Every game should have the option for cat's ears. Thumbs up!

I have the disappearing mod problem as well, but i found a way to make it work if anyone is interested. If you have a soldier saved in the pool from before the option disappeared using the cat ears, you can use that template to have the ears on the soldier and then customize the rest. the head/hat option says it is empty, but the ears will still show, proving the file is still there. it is just a menu error, i suppose? anyway, don't change the head/hat slot to anything else or it will disappear again and you will have to reimport the originial soldier setup from the beginning again.

Hope this helps people who were having trouble to use this mod again. it's one of my favorites. Thanks to the author for crreating it.

cool.

Fortunately it never needed it. This works fine withe WOTC

@DoomBlackDragon, not that I'm aware of. :(

did this mod ever get picked up by someone else for WotC?

...Hello my friend it's me S

@tuckercooper23
The blue and alpha channels of the mask texture determine tints. Blue should be primary while alpha is secondary.

ah
thank you for the reply

@tuckercooper23 Sorry, I made this years ago and honestly can't remember... I think it may have had something to do with the color channels on the mask texture, though I can't find any documentation that supports that theory.

@Drikanis would it be possible, or how would I switch the color that affects the ears from secondary to primary? I've tried looking around the SDK but I'm new too it

Also... I have to add that one of my reapers has cat ears on her head...

Well, you've done the best you could given the circumstances. I'm kinda sad you won't be picking up the xpac though ^^; It's a lot of fun, and I really think you're missing out. We all do what we gotta do though right?

Sorry, but I honestly don't know what else to tell you. I have a screenshot showing a squad containing a cat-eared soldier and a reaper, so it's definitely working for some people. Regardless, it doesn't look like I can fix it without the xpac.

its the same issue for me Drikanis

My friend has the reapers unlocked, and says they work fine.

After you get the Reapers, the ears fail to load in the Head/Helmet screen.

I just asked a friend to test it, and they said it works fine. It sounds like you still might be having problems with your PC.

Can you please explain on what you mean by 'glitchy'? What is actually happening when you try to use them?

Alright even after the fix i did with my own PC, this mod is still glitchy. Sorry to say but you may need to work on a WOTC version.

I cannot find it.......

I think I found out whats really causing it.... my own damn antivirus >.>

I have. It's bizzare but I'm working on a fix.

Have you tried with just this mod enabled and none of the other ones? BTW, I was not intending on buying the xpac.

I'd like to add that the mods that it crashes with are the ones the launcher warns you may be incapatible with WOTC. When you can acquire it, I'd be grateful if you would look into this.

All I can tell you is that the game seems to crash whenever I have any mod, even a cosemetic one, installed. My biggest issue is when I start assigning soldiers to covert missions in the expansion pack, the game freezes so badly that I have to hit the power button on my PC for a hard reboot. I can't really take a screenshot once that happens.

@InvincibleMan38, Please see the earlier comments... It should be working fine. If it's not, please provide me with a screenshot showing how it's broken. I do not own the expac, so cannot test it myself.

Please check WOTC compatibility for this mod.

@Drikanis: Oh, that it's working in there sounds good, since the word's that if it won't work properly in the Propaganda Center demo, it would be the same for the expansion. But, if it works without flaws, that's a definite plus in my book.

@Yamino, Thanks for the info! It looks like it's testable by forcing the mod to load in the Propaganda Center demo. I just finished doing this, and the cat ears work fine without any modifications. Hopefully this will remain the case once the full release comes around, but if not, someone will need to let me know so I can see if I can fix it. I'm not intending on picking up the new xpac.

@Drikanis: The following messeage is copied from Arkhangel, he heard it from modders like Kexx, iIrc. Note, the "not compatible" means "black textures", from what I read...

Early warning announcement here. War of the Chosen is being launched with a new shader system, as some of you have no doubt noticed with the propaganda center demo, and any customization mod that wants to be compatible with it will need to be updated with the new shader. according to what i've been told, it's a fairly quick fix, but it is necessary for it to work with the expansion. spread the word!

@rhuls, that mostly depends on Firaxis and whether they break compatibility with older mods. This is a really basic mod that follows their instructions, so it should be ok unless they really screw something up. If it breaks, I can't promise I'll be able to fix it. :(

what's the word on this surviving the transition to wotc? other cosmetics seem like a crapshoot and losing this would break my stupid-cat-ear-loving heart

@Drikanis
Hmm, I guess I'll check again

I just checked it, and it's still working on my end. If you are having issues, check to make sure you have the mod enabled in the launcher. Also keep in mind that customizations are not sorted alphabetically in the soldier customization menu, so you may need to look for it. It's classified as a Helmet/Hat.

Why can't I use the ears?

Do these not work anymore more?

are you going to make more ears?
like a fox or a bunny?
just asking

@mistformsquirrel Totally agreed, I'd love to have an even more accurate version of ahri in my game

I like to head cannon ADVENT offers cosmetic gene mods so I'll be useing this one a lot, thanks!

My favorite mod ever.

I wasn't planning on it, but I might look into it since people keep asking. Publishing to Workshop with the XCOM 2 SDK is just vastly easier than publishing to Nexus, so that's the only real reason it's here at all.

Is there ever going to be a nexus mod upload for this? I use Mod Manager for ltierally every other mod I have and it's pretty inconvenient to not be able to have them all in one place.

fuck the cat ears and the stupid girls that wear them

in the words of every anime human cat hybrid nyah nyah... XDD
