Is it possible to use BepInEx to replace the textures in the game? Might make for an easier install too.

If you're referring to the texture replacer, that's only really applicable for female mods.

Male mods need to have the sprite atlas files updated so the genitalia doesn't appear to be cropped or offset from where they should be.

Although if there's a similar BepInEx plugin that dynamically allows universal asset replacement rather than just texture images, I might consider it.

 

Otherwise, XDelta patches is the best I can do for easy installation of mods for the followers but they have a problem of breaking if the game receives an update which it just received one a couple days ago.

Hey Catnatic! I love your mod! Just wondering if you have any general timeline for its update to woolhaven? Thanks either way!

I got hold up by other things I wanted to do in life but I have got around to viewing the game's assets.

This might take a while because the sprite sheet for Lamb and Followers have been all rearranged so I have to reposition my edits here and there.

Not to mention having to export every time for each variation. It should be all ready by the end of the month.

It took me a while to figure out but I managed to mod the game's textures/sprites.

I had to clear the CRC checks so the game continues to load properly or otherwise the game will be stuck in a black infinite loading screen.

 

Now this Lamb can finally get out of their filthy garment (as a test to see if my mod works via UABEA).

 

Ah shit, here we go again.

I just updated the prisoner rag sprite so it's now using the official body (and arm) sprite instead, for consistency.

Can't really add genitals here but you know, think of it like Lamb has been enslaved for so long that their wool now covers their bits.

 

Anyway, this is just a test to see if I edited the right file and indeed I have. Installation will be different this time though because the sprite sheet is now part of a bigger bundle (97 MB) which means I would have to use Delta patches instead to reduce the download size.

But if you notice closely, something doesn't look right - colours have bled and artifacts can be seen.

This is because the developers have compressed the quality of the textures to reduce file size. This was not documented in the patch notes.

I believe the vanilla textures are now using the texture format "DXT5Crunched" instead of "BC7". Exported textures at this point will be lossy.

I still have the original textures before the compression and there's a notable difference if you look closely:

 

 

I honestly don't think the compression is worth it for a game whose art style is its strong point. The game is 3 GB but I don't recall it was any significantly bigger than that so slightly downgrading the visuals like this for some free extra MB is not worth it at all when there's still some duplicated assets that could've been removed instead (which would've make my job easier too).

 

Fortunately, I can still replace the textures in BC7 format so with my mods, you can restore the clean quality of the Lamb and Follower textures...with the naughty bits.

It's subtle but you can see the compression artifacts on the Lamb's ears, limbs, and balls. The BC7 version on the right doesn't have those.

I'd have to replace the textures in BC7 anyway, the followers become invisible if I were to replace their texture in the same DXT5Crunched texture format for some reason.

Because the sprite atlas sheet has been rearranged and the developers are still using "DXT5Crunched" instead of "BC7" to compress their textures (or whatever they did), my nude mod will no longer come with clean high quality version of every other sprite as a bonus which is unfortunate because there didn't used to be compression artifacts before. Notice how there's a bit of pixels on the Lamb's face on the screenshot? Notice the difference on the arm sprites below here?

Those artifacts weren't there in earlier versions of the game.

Oh well... I'll still fix up his body and head sprites but that'll be it.

 

EDIT: Naked Followers is working again, but the installation will be a little different this time.

I hope you're familiar with the UABEA (Unity Asset Bundle Extractor Avalonia) method because xdelta patches aren't as feasible anymore since follower sprites are now part of a .bundle file that just so happens to include an important "atlas" file for the player/Lamb. It is what it is.

I had to take a week-long break so I haven't actually done anything lately.

So to make up for it, here's a preview of something new I just experimented with today: Shaved Lamb

But because the Lamb's body sprite doesn't have front and rear versions, being all wooly originally, I can't really add the nipples/breasts and belly button since they'll appear on the Lamb's bare back as well. However, I think the bell collar 'obscuring' what could've been there helps to make an otherwise featureless body look less blank.

Nice, I can't wait for this mod to whenever that mod comes out that is. Also I 100% of the game's achievements a little bit of a while ago, so that's something, since I love this game game that I was even nice enough to get all the game's & expansions' achievements. But that's not gonna stop me from ever loving the game that I plan on redoing the game again for like different choices, and maybe in the future do like survival and perma death runs of the game if I get the chance that is.

Finding and editing the Follower's sprite atlas file is no problem, same method works as before.

The sprite atlas is different though, I'll have to move all my edits to other positions of the texture file. For now, I just drew over the fig leaf as a censor bar as a test.

I think I also figured out a way to edit a specific sprite's size, origin, offset, and coordinates thanks to an atlas text file.

Hypothetically, this could allow for bigger genitals and/or flexible positioning of it when replacing the fig leaf.

Instead of trying to replace the fig leaf sprite, I could add the penis to the nude body itself and edit the atlas text file so the added fun bits don't get cut off.

I'm not sure I've said this already but, as I've been testing my nude mods for the latest version for this game, I noticed there's still a limitation in regards to the followers' nude body sprite. The leafless and female body sprites have the correct width and height but for the male body, it's actually squished.

As you could see, the vanilla body with leaf, modded leafless, and the nude female body all have the same width and height while the male body isn't quite the same.

Notice how the end of the followers' right arm aligns with their crotches, but not quite for the male bodies?

I've been trying to retain the male body's original size with increased height to include the genitals but it ultimately turns out after increasing the sprite size to 200x200 that it's actually not possible to go beyond the sprite size boundary, if that make sense. I can't get the sprite itself to go below this follower's right-handed arm.

I mean it only scales the cropping of the sprite sheet which you can see by the rightmost image, you could see other sprites of the sheet as if it's zoomed out.

I was hoping I could fix the scaling of the male body sprite as part of the update which I probably would've had it released by now already but this had me stumped all night until I realised there's nothing I can do about it. Oh well, just know that big-dicked followers' bodies will look squished than followers with small or erected cocks.

Compatibility patch has been released for game version: 1.5.25.1049 (Woolhaven).

Exposed Lamb + Followers now supports the Woolhaven DLC/Update!

Thank you for your patience.

Be aware that the install instructions for the mods have been changed because of how the game stores its assets now.

 

I may continue with the fully shaved Lamb mod in the future, but not right at this moment because I have other mods to finish.

Great, just hope that the game doesn't get anymore updates (which more likely they will in a way for bug fixes, just won't be Abysmal patch updates like last time, which I get it, there were bugs and glitches that needed ironed out for the DLC onto the game which has bugs, but things should be good for now), but I think things will be just fine for a little while, but then again is we don't know if Massive Monster still have more plans for this game that is in terms of either an update, expansion, or possibly a sequel, but other than that, I think they are moving onward onto their next project like a new game is far I have been paying attention go for a little while since they announced they are working on a new project that isn't Cult of the Lamb related, but they can still do something with Cult of the Lamb related depending on what they are gonna do next. But I'll try this updated nude mod out at some point later on when I get the chance.

Hey, I tried installing the mod, but neither of them seemed to work for me. Even the drag and drop follower mods didn't take effect. I replaced the bundle files in the StandaloneWIndows64 folder but when I open the game nothings changed. The Sinful Pack is the only DLC I have so not sure if I need to have Woolhaven for it to work now?

So what happened exactly? Did the game refuse to load or nothing has been changed?

 

Is your game on the latest version, 1.5.25.1049? Are you running on Windows, Linux, or Mac?

Because the drag and drop method requires the game to be this exact version to work properly (only tested on Windows).

You can find the version number on the top right corner of the title screen, and the Woolhaven DLC is not at all required to make the nude mods functioning.

Otherwise, best to use UABEA so you can manually patch in the edited textures.

 

When installing the mods with UABEA as you follow my instructions, make sure you save the edited files when inspecting inside a bundle on the "Assets Info" window.

 

 

And then save the bundle itself on the main window.

 

(You don't necessarily need to compress the bundles to load them in-game, but it would be in your best interest to compress them to optimise their file size.)

 

If you click "Save as", make sure the file is named exactly:

"4d08a3f34d27f30eb0729ccbdf42757e.bundle" for lamb

or

"feec4c3c4756515edb46c48464103089.bundle" for followers (and Lamb atlas)

 

Make sure the file extension ".bundle" is included at the end of the filename so the game can actually recognise the bundle.

And place that edited .bundle file in "Cult Of The Lamb_Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneWindows64" to replace the original file.

The game runs, it just won't appear in game for me. I tried doing the UABEA method for the followers as well and I can see the file is being modified but once I load my save file all the followers are still clothed. If I verify the game files it detects the modified files and redownloads them so I'm not sure why they don't show up in game. I am saving on both windows, although for some reason when I click save as it just does a normal save. Might try reinstalling the UABEA program itself and see if that helps at all.

After reinstalling my game, I managed to get it working with the UABEA method. The program just wouldn't let me save the modified file before for some reason, but glad I got it to work eventually. Thanks for your help

Does this affect the deffault clothes of the followers? For me the mod works with the lamb but not the followers

The mod is only a texture edit so it's only going to take effect when you force the followers to be naked with the Rite of Lust ritual or change their robes to be Naked.
