If you have used more than one 3dmigoto mod, it might be worth checking where your 3dmigoto installation is looking for mod files:

• Open d3dx.ini in a text editor
• Find the `[Include]` section (probably right at the beginning)
• This section should have a line like `include_recursive = 3dms_mods` or `include_recursive = Mods`
• The part after `=` is where 3dmigoto is looking for mod files

Thank you, I don't do much modding so this was nice to learn.

[chaoslordd]

does anyone know if there is a way to use 3dmigoto with specialk? if i try to use both the game crashes at startup, i was trying to use some 3dmigoto mods with the hd mod on nexus.

 

alternatively, is there a mod or tutorial that allows me to make the bathing towels into nude bodies without using 3dmigoto?

My mod here has nude bathing costumes adapted from lakovic’s body models.

Thanks for the help and the mod!

The steps I outlined require no coding knowledge. However, I looked into the problem. There are lots of shaders that need to be added to the list. I am not sure if I found all of them.

Solution: Copy and paste the following at the end of your common_shaders.ini:

 

[ShaderOverride_common_22]
hash = 9744b8aa5804b648
run = CommandListActivate
allow_duplicate_hash = true

 

[ShaderOverride_common_23]
hash = 004801eef0d9673e
run = CommandListActivate
allow_duplicate_hash = true

 

[ShaderOverride_common_24]
hash = aaef9f47ca207038
run = CommandListActivate
allow_duplicate_hash = true

 

[ShaderOverride_common_25]
hash = d0cc61cd60a8d098
run = CommandListActivate
allow_duplicate_hash = true

 

[ShaderOverride_common_26]
hash = e2ac8d8cb661221e
run = CommandListActivate
allow_duplicate_hash = true

[ShaderOverride_common_27]
hash = 7db67d1988ce6f0e
run = CommandListActivate
allow_duplicate_hash = true

 

 

@amorrow28 might want to see this.

FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK! thanks to these lines added, you're a GOD!!

So I finally got Lakovic's sexy and nude mod to work, but now how do I cycle between outfits. I see Fie's file has many different folders of outfits. Can someone tell me how to swap them. Also, I see that some outfits are locked behind the DLC swimsuit oufits and I don't want to spend the money. Is there another way to use those outfits in Lakovic's mod? Thanks for any replies.

There's hotkeys you press. Usually ALT+F(x) depending on the character. You can find them on the original v1 post I think but if not there should be a .txt file with the commands in them.

Hey all, Revived Screenshot Guy here. This time I'm bringing you a much more condensed version of the compilation I did for Daybreak 1, as the first version went way over the file limit even after converting the images to webp. This album is separated by chapter and contains spoilers throughout, it's recommended to play the game first. This was made possible by the following mods and tools:

Free Camera, Swap Script, Agnès After School, DOA Cosplay 1 and 3 by amorrow28
Sexy&nude Mod by lakovic
Underwear Mod by fakecheng
 

Screens through Daybreak.rar

And in case you want more, I also made a compilation for Daybreak 2!

For future Daybreak players who just started the game and are using lakovic "sexy&nude_mod v2.0" (or any 3DMigoto-based mod), this is exactly what I did to make everything work.

 

[Note for brand new modders. 3DMigoto mods allow you to essentially toggle the mod on and off during gameplay. This does provide tons of flexibility, at the cost of potential game stability. I will say that I prefer 3DM mods, especially when the mod includes NPC changes (which lakovic mod does include). Sometimes I want to turn the mod off easily so I can get back to immersion in the game.]

1. Download both the lakovic mod, as well as amorrow28's Unskirt mod, 3DMigoto version
   1. lakovic mod link - also link to the v1.0
      1. You must read both links thoroughly to understand the full functionality!!!
   2. amorrow28 Unskirt mod link - make sure to download the 3DMigoto version
2. Extract all files from lakovic mod and dump into the game's root folder
3. In the Unskirt mod zip, in the subfolder "3dm_mods", extract "common_shaders.ini"
4. In the game's root folder, go to the "Mods" folder, then the "UnSkirtMod" folder, then replace the existing "common_shaders.ini" file with the one from step 3
5. Now open this "common_shaders.ini" file, we need to add text to this file to deal with the Mare issue (her body is transparent). Follow the instructions in this link:
   1. notazebra text edit to common_shaders.ini for Mare issue

At this point, you have full control of the mod in-game by using F2 to enable/disable, and F6 to toggle NPC outfits.

 

[I have noticed one issue crop up where shadows of an outfit will remain on the model sometimes. It's not consistent when this happens, but you may see dark lines or patches randomly.]

_____________________________________________

 

But why is Agnes still wearing her school blazer? That's because lakovic designed the F4+ capabilities around specific outfits. Actually this is true for all the mods using 3DMigoto. In amorrow28's unskirt mod, you will see multiple outfits for each character in the download, and each of those can only be viewed once you have access to the outfit.

 

That means for Agnes, you need to buy Agnes "Swimsuit with Top" outfit in order to enable lakovic F4 functionality. I don't know when the outfit is first available, so I used amorrow28's cheat engine tables.

1. Download Cheat Engine. This was kind of hard for me, I no longer remember what I did, but some of amorrow28's posts with cheat tables will have instruction links.
2. Download amorrow28's purchase override cheat table, and extract the file from the folder
   1. amorrow28's purchase override cheat table link
3. Run the cheat table and select "Agnes Swimsuit with Top"
4. Buy the cheapest thing you can shop for. In the beginning of the game it's the candy for 80 Mira
5. Profit

Note that using F4+1 for Agnes while you are roaming is annoying because the "1" key is a shortcut for text history in-game. So the easiest way to toggle outfits using the F4 functionality is to go into the game menu, and equipment section where you can see the character model and their current outfit.

_____________________________________________

 

I hope this helps future lewders. Took me a couple hours to figure it all out, but everything I did was written somewhere in this thread. I've just compiled it here for easy viewing. 

 

I'm no expert in modding, but let me know if there is anything of value to add to this post and I will do so.

 

Thanks to @lakovic @amorrow28 @NotAZebra for not only making mods, but taking the time to answer questions from us users.

With Daybreak 2 around the corner and having little time to mod and make this a dlc, I'm gonna share this as a preview. Once I add the other variations for Judith, I'll make it a dlc.

I have made fortune swimsuits from DOA for Agnes and Judith. These swimsuits replace their swimsuit w/top costumes in the game. All you need to do is place the p3a file in the mod folder. 

 

UPDATE: This is a DLC mod now. DOA Fortune outfits for Agnes and Judith. For Judith, I made one default and one long hair version.

 

 

 

DOAFortuneMod.7z 6.32 MB · 135 downloads

As a bonus I made a Micro Bikini for Judith. Enjoy.

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Special thank you for @lakovic for the bodies. Massive thank you to @amorrow28 for the tools and the guides. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible beyond my wildest dreams. Enjoy. 

 

I know it's been a while, but I found that adding this mod added visible nipples to the default bodies, if that makes sense. You really only notice it with character models that have revealing outfits by default (NPCs with swimsuits, Judith in grimcat outfit - both of these show up in Chapter 3, when I happened to add this mod).

 

Not sure if that was intentional, it's probably well beyond the time in which you care about this particular mod implementation, but figured I would mention it in case you knew what was going on.

[afdbg]

Another report for future players. Daybreak just received a 1.4.0 update (on Oct 15 2025):

• 3DMigoto is maybe broken now - at least Lakovic's mod is not working for me
• DLC mods are working fine. I had built tables combining all of Amorrow28's DOA mods, and those DLC outfits have not changed.

 

I'm too lazy to try and figure out how to fix, so I'm going to roll back to 1.3.5.

 

Edit: confirming that 1.3.5 works fine as expected. I've played around a bit with the modding so it could be my fault. 

 

For anyone rolling back for the first time - it's super easy for Daybreak because the developer (Durante) is awesome. 

• Go to the game's settings
• Betas
• Beta participation - choose version_1.3.5

Yeah I notice that too when I was modding for Daybreak 2. I will update it for Daybreak 1 when I get the chance. It had to do with the material naming.

[GDKing]

@amorrow28 A quick heads up: there is a new update for Daybreak called ver. 1.4.0.  It is pretty much the DLSS/XeSS/TAA setting patch for the game, with some more bug fixes.

Alright I updated it. It shouldn't overwrite the default woman body texture.

I can confirm that all the shader hashes for 3DMigoto have changed.  I will not be updating unskirt mod for this version; please just use the MDL version instead.

 

I've updated all the cheat engine tables (which already took forever).

• Free camera script
• Purchase Override (buy costumes from the item shop)
• Disable DLC verification when loading save files

Huh, so version 1.4.0 will break the 3DMigoto Daybreak mods like Lakovic's Nude & Sexy 2.0 one.  That's unfortunate.

 

I forgot if his Kai one (The first one, not the new one you can get from his store) can also be downgraded to work with Daybreak.  It's also in MDL format.

 

I remembered we could downgrade it for Daybreak 2 so far.

I appreciate it! Just checked NPCS and Grimcat as well, and all looks good. Thanks for coming back 8 months later to this!

I don’t recall any previous update changing all the shader hashes. Weird.

Really? Hrmm. Maybe my install is just broken.

[Senna22]

Works like a charm on PC.

[GDKing]

I know it's way too late to bring this up but...

 

@amorrow28 do you know what is up with the F1 hotkey not working properly with the Daybreak and Daybreak 2 camera scripts ?

 

It doesn't slow down the camera speed at all.

I think I might have changed them to shift and ctrl for my own convenience and forgotten to change them back before uploading? Sounds like something I would do…

I'll try that just in case; that could be it.

 

Edit: Yup, tried holding Shift + Ctrl and pressed F1 with the Daybreak 2 camera script, and it slowed down the camera speed.  I will test this out with the Daybreak camera script later today.

So there will be no updates for version 1.4.0? It's a shame... Sure I can revert but this patch fixes some major bugs and adds more graphical settings which I like.

 

Could coomi release a p3a version of his mod or is that unlikely to happen?

 

Oh well, guess i'l install what is possible.

[wincheychanron]

can you make mod for cfw switch?
