Original features from XSoldier: https://vectorplexis.com/files/file/51-xsoldier-for-wotc/
v1.8.8 CHANGES:
- Cook assets for quicker load times and smaller file sizes
For modders who want to build XSoldier mod: Grab the original files from Original Assets.7z.001 and Original Assets.7z.002, you can read more about cooking assets here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/index/cooking_for_dummies/
For players: Just ignore Original Assets.7z.001 and Original Assets.7z.002!
- Update the XSoldier and XSoldierErection console commands, they should no longer break the game's cheat console
How to use XSoldierErection console command:
Parameters: Erect (true/false), Speed (a number from 0.1 up to 20), FullName (the soldier’s full name)
For example, type the following without double quotes in the console command to achieve
"XSoldierErection": erection for all
"XSoldierErection false 20": instant de-erection for all
"XSoldierErection true 0.1 John Bradford": slow erection for John Bradford
- Add a button "Apply Uniform" in the soldier's Armory screen to replace Torso, Arms, and Legs cosmetic gear for all crew soldiers matching the current soldier's gender. All other customization settings (Tints, Tattoos, Thighs, Shins, Torso Gears, Weapons, etc.) will remain unchanged
This provides a lightweight alternative to full appearance manager mods that conflict with XSoldier's core features like tattoos, body weight, penis configurations
- Male VIPs (engineers, scientists, soldiers), militia, and civilians now appear nude in tactical missions! However, if you don't like this feature, you can delete Nude Tactical Mode folder in Config directory (will require a game restart for changes to take effect)
Clothing options for personnel (soldiers, engineers, scientists, clerks) aboard the Avenger is still configurable in the existing Mod Config Menu setting under "Avenger Outfits"
- Add Gurak to the XSoldier Character Pool
- Include bare torso, arm, and leg options for other armor types
- Rename 2 confusing Mod Config Menu sliders for skin shine to make more sense
v1.8.7 CHANGES:
- The Male Soldier's "Background" text field now stores XSoldier data such as Weight, Torso & Leg Tattoo, Genital's configurations, allowing character pool imports and exports to remember this configuration. You can still edit soldier's "Background" text, but make sure not to modify "XSoldier Data" part at the end
- Apply correctly XSoldier data such as Weight, Torso & Leg Tattoo, Genital's configurations from character pool to soldiers in live campaign
- Randomly apply erection for male soldiers in customization/Avenger/fights, erection chance is configurable through MCM Slider ([WotC] Mod Config Menu required), the initial chance is 10%
- Revert Central's stats to the original values in version 1.8.0, they are configurable in Config\XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini
- Integrate XSoldierStickyTattoos mod by TheWetViking to add 4 new torso tattoos for soldiers
- Update config to include modded pose packs for Central if they are installed (XCom 2 Community Pose Pack, Photobooth Tactical Pose Pack, WOTC Casual Pose Pack, WOTC Calendar Pose Pack, etc.)
- Remove the XSoldier_UIArmory_Photobooth script to ensure compatibility with other photobooth mods, remove auto black photos generation after the first fight in the campaign
- Include a default XSoldier Character Pool with over 100 male soldiers, featuring a mix of hand-picked and custom-made designs. You will need to import these soldiers in Character Pool before starting a campaign
However, some cosmetic mods are required for the soldiers to show up correctly, without them the soldiers may look a bit off:

KNOWN ISSUE: Right now editing a soldier's Weight, Torso & Leg Tattoo, Genital's configurations in live campaign also changes the same soldier in character pool
What's New in Version 1.8.9

v1.8.9 CHANGES:
- Gurak's head is now in the soldier customization menu under Caucasian head type, so you can finally add some orc soldiers to your ranks! Their skin color and hair type are also fully configurable now, just like other soldiers
- Update Gurak character in the XSoldier Character Pool to green skin color (Hulk anyone?)
