SQUID BE GONE!

There is a mystery bug around for a very long time.

Its hillarious, its scary, it comes and it goes and there was no cure to be found!

The bug i am talking about is part of countless reddit posts and is already a meme, a legend and synonymously for modding overuse.

The bug we all know has as many names as screenshots of it exists. Someone, i forgot who, called it

THE SQUID BUG

I like this name so this mods battle cry is "SQUID BE GONE!"


The source of this bug was unknown for a long time.
A year ago my fellow modder and friend E3245 was the one, who brought to my attention that a possible cause of the bug is
that some cosmetic mods fail to add a unit pawn animset to their armors, which is used to adjust the position of visible inventory items to the proportions of the armor (e.g. so swords on the back dont float in the air).
So i made this mod, thats addes the games default armor animset to all cosmetic armors that are missing it and gave it to some people for testing but never released it.
Recently i was reminded about it by this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/comments/le2yy3/psa_if_you_make_cosmetics_dont_forget_to_assign_a/ ,
so thought its time to finally put it out there.

Q: Does this mod finally get rid of this bug once and for all?
A: To be completely honest with you: i don't know. The feedback of the testers suggests that it greatly reduces the occurences of tentacles but some testers reported they had some rare squids despite the mod, so there is probably another undiscovered reason that turns xcom soldiers into spaghetti monsters.
