I'm new, do mods work after palworld 1.0 update?

[cuteankle]

Hey, I'm not entirely sure if mods still work or not. I'm a newbie. What do I need to install to play with these mods and animations in Palworld 1.0? Help me set everything up, I would be very grateful.

[ShadyKitsune]

Animations currently do not work outside of one or 2 creators, and only on the most recent version of "Sugar Cake". The reasoning is because the player model was touched up by Pocketpair, which consequently broke it for all models involving the player.

 

Majority of other animations on the other hand do not work with the most recent version of the Sugar Cake framework (does nothing by itself) and will only work on a previous version, however the creators for most of these are either taking a break from modding for the time being or no longer maintain any mods at all.

 

Certain pals are broken due to the update as well due to model or other miscellaneous changes (Verdash and Robinquill gaining new models entirely for example, meaning all old mods for them are no longer compatible in the slightest), but most skins and replacers otherwise shouldn't give you too much trouble with some trial and error and asking around.

So, as I understand it, modding adult content for PalWorld is currently suspended due to this update, and it's unknown when mods will be updated to the new version. I don't know if this is true, but it seems likely that after the release, the PalWorld developers will create their own SDK, which means modding will become even easier, but when that will happen is unclear; we can only wait

Palworld 1.0 made things a little more of a mess than they already were, they updated the human skeleton so all animation packages with human anims need to be repackaged for the update. So far as I'm aware the only animation packs updated are the included animations with Sugar Cake and TemTemLover's pack.

The base-line for naughty mods is Sugar Cake and our line of frameworks (UniPalUI for UI modding/tooling and Altermatic for various run-time modifications like model/texture swaps and integrations with Sugar Cake). You can get the frameworks as a complete package through the Sugar Cake mod page - https://spiritshard.com/?mode=gamemod&view=Palworld_ProjectSugarCake (Linked SpiritShard.com as it's the official and most reliable source for the frameworks, but it's also available here on LL)

Here's TemTem's package link - https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/33129-scake-pack-temtemlovers-animations/

Those will handle the animations with decent coverage. For models we currently recommend starting with the community meshes pack as it has decent coverage and least number of issues with no conflicts with other packs (It also includes an option nude male with Sugar Cake supported morphs) - https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/33790-models-nsfw-community-mesh-pack-for-scake-animations/

For nude female player I personally currently use bleh's nude armors with the nude mod (seems to work on 1.0 without issues ^-^) -

For other mods and updates, and getting mod support, we recommend joining our Discord - The Broken Chatbox - as it's where the majority of us are and we've been setting up more and more guides to help make modding easier for everyone. Would be happy to see ya! - https://discord.gg/h3vB7S4FEw

So based on the current situation for all the new people like me that came from the 1.0 release do you recommend to just sit and wait for the mod tools to eventually be updated?

Download the latest experimental here - https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/releases/tag/experimental-latest
(Scroll to the bottom of the page and download the first file there, should be like "UE4SS_v3.0.1-1###-gb######.zip")
Now extract the downloaded zip and copy the dwiapi.dll and ue4ss folder into your Palworld install's "Pal/Binaries/Win64" folder so that they sit in the same folder as the exe here. (Win64 is named WinGDK for the XBox version), and that's UE4SS installed! ^-^

I think all the mod tools should still function, I've not run into any issues at least. For the Skeleton thing animators just need to repackage their animations and that's it, it's not a complicated process, just annoying. lol

If you're new to the game and playing 1.0, just expect there to be a bit of waiting for more content to get updated and functional, make sure to only grab mods we know work on 1.0 and you should be fine. ^-^ We've got a lot of new players in our discord that got set-up relatively quickly and, although not everything is available, the frameworks work just fine and there's still content to experience. =^-^=

I joined the discord yesterday I noticed that you uploaded a pack with  Sugar Cake, UniPalUI, and Altermatic I apologize for my ignorance before asking but would that + nude mod for the main character be enough to just download install and play?

You'd want at least one animation pack with decent coverage or else gameplay options would be limited, follow my post earlier in the thread ( https://www.loverslab.com/topic/268316-im-new-do-mods-work-after-palworld-10-update/#findComment-7341273 ) for what you'd need to get started. ^-^ Sugar Cake only includes a solo female animation set at the moment and I'm pretty slow to animate with so many projects going on, so not remotely enough for meaningful gameplay. >.<

This Pokemon crap is a bit boring. I wonder if it would be hard to turn the Pals into humanoids and catch and enslave them, that would be sick xD
It would definitely require changing the Pokeball into a rope.

Why not just play Conan exiles at that point?

yep ended up getting that + palicious to add some form of gameplay, and everything works surprisingly good I been on other mod communities and big updates like this are catastrophic and send the community back months. The only issue I find I have is that sometimes the animations never stop so I have to altf4 the game but I guess is not a big deal and hopefully be fixed in the future and mainly happens when like 3 pals are involved or something
regardless thanks for all both the help and creating all this mods

I'm hoping for working nude mods for the Female NPCs.

Our community members in Discord found that Loving Pal was causing this bug. The person who made it isn't part of our community so we don't know how or why it causes this bug, but members reported that removing it caused the issue to go away. (We've confirmed ASD_SimpleSex, Tango down 4 fun, and Palicious work with the update and can start scenes with buttons/mechanics)

There's a WIP feature for Altermatic that will have a solution to this ^.-

The dude asked for something that palworld lacks and conan has, read: catching people and tying them up with a chain/rope, In Palworld humans can be used as slaves, yes, but even with full condensation+souls+books they're still inferior to pals who got skills and hidden bonuses, if anyone wants to play a "human slaving sim" Conan is the game

Huh that is weird because I do not have Loving Pal installed I went with Palicious instead because I was aware it worked with 1.0 while loving pals didnt
Right now I have installed 
The combo you uploaded on discord with SugCa PalUI and Altermatic
Temtem animations

Community mesh pack for SuCa
Palicious
and finally rocheste female body for MC

Well that's even more curious, can you provide more details about when it occurs? Like, what characters and what settings you have enabled? Are they stuck in a climax loop? (old bug, but maybe I didn't fully fix it)

Next time I play and the bug happens because is kind of common for it to happen I will tell you all the details 
but I rather do it on your discord so we don't clutter this place if that is ok
