I genuinely have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I can't get SCake to show up in the UniPalUI menu at all and it keeps telling me that SCML++ is missing and that UniPalUI might be installed wrong but I'm pretty sure it was just as simple as dragging and dropping where the instructions said to. My UE4SS is the newest version for sure, but maybe I'm installing it to the incorrect location? I would appreciate direct guidance of where I'm supposed to put what files for that with either screenshots or a detailed description because it's just not working.

Can't you just drag and drop your UE4SS\mods folder into steams ue4ss directory. Or are you also using vortex?

If I hadn’t tried this approach myself, I wouldn’t say it’s problem-free. I consider myself to have extensive experience installing mods; otherwise, I wouldn’t have successfully figured out a viable method for running dual UE4SS instances.

However, when I install SugerCake directly into the NativeMods folder on my computer, this issue occurs. So I suppose this is my problem—some people may encounter unexplained issues

My method is fully compatible with both sides—at least when it actually works—but the trade-off is that I can only run the game if God allows it.

Someone might have answered this before so sorry for the repeated question, if for example I am using PalMagic, Lovander TBox replacer and only want the primal pal to work on male versions and then the female version to be the Tbox version, can't I just remove the PinkLizard Json line for the Gender of female? Would that make it only use the Tbox model? Or am I missing something? Modding palworld is different than a year ish ago

Edited for the right code name for Lovander

Are your other SCake files put in ~workshopmods?

Removing the lines from the appropriate ones should work.

Are you talking about Pal\Content\Paks\~WorkshopMods? I just noticed that path. What files should be placed there? I gave it a try, and it seems to have worked. Thanks.

I don't know how I managed to get this working but I did somehow, however the player model is always crushed like a pretzel in all animations and the majority of the time it treats my character as being the male in an animation regardless of all settings and in game body type. I think this shit is still broken, I should wait like a year to try this again at this point.

That is because many animations are not updated yet. 1.0 changed the human skeleton, and until the animations are updated for this you will get pretzel humans. Check first if there are updates available for the animations you are using, because they may already have it fixed and you're simply using an old version.

are there any mod about sekhmet animation yet?

 

Not likely unless TemTem or Lurker have done something. There were only ever like.....7 or 8(?) animators to begin with (Greyu, Sibelyx, Z3N, Bakkas, TemTem, Lurker, Lanz) with more recent folks coming up over time (Shiinr, Panda, John_D).

So, currently enjoying the mods and "fun" animations but noticed an issue with Xenolord and Hartalis. Their special abilities where they fly up and then crash down don't work. They get stuck in place and either cancel the attack or just crash in place. I'm not really sure what's going on and I followed all directions very closely and re-read them multiple times. I couldn't find anyone else having this exact issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hnnn, It seems to be working, but, pressing shift and K does not seem to do anything

Shift+K : View/control target's playing Animation Event Hold Shift+K : View/Control summoned pal's playing Animation Event

This sounds like its for Pal/Pal
Player/Pal is R while the animation is playing

I don't think so? I didn't see that name anywhere and the only mods I installed are from this page plus one for a nude Leafan from the Nexus.

I'm having trouble get Altermatic to change the texture my my pals, it just say there isn't any pals nearby to change, i ran the SwapJSON Creat Load List but it just doesn't change any, is it because i have other skin packs on like Bakkas, Primal Pals, Lurker, or any of the animation paks? I downloaded some of T-Boxed new mods and they say they are PalMagice compatible

If they are PalMagic compatible then you should put them in PalMagics ModelJSON folder and run __ManifestList_Create, not in Altermatics folder.
You can install multiple model packs, but you have to follow the compatibility guide in the mods description.

Unfortunately they dont even register in the ModelJson, i looked in the manifest lists and they only show up in the SwapJSON manifest list  after i ran them. I got on the game and still the textures dont work

If you have palmagic, only use that. two of those skin paks only work on palmagic/dynapals. I don't even think Altermatic shows when you have Palmagic installed, it seems to take priority from my experience with the two.

So should i delete Altermatic if so what would i delete? The Altermatic.pak in my LogicMods folder and the _Altermatic_Persist_ JSON File in the ~Mods folder?

When uninstalling a mod, its best to delete the entire thing. So yes, delete both. One is useless without the other anyway.

I deleted both but sadly it didnt fix my problem of the T-Box mod not working, thanks though

For Tbox use P.D.F as the meshes and use the Json in the json spam channel on their Discord

I installed just the UE4SS correctly, I get this message but I cannot open any F10 menus or anything. After installing everything else, I still get this message but nothing on the top left corner. I still cannot open any menus like the Shift+Y. The skin packs work, but nothing else.

installing it correctly could mean anything. Is it steam ue4ss? is it manual? is it nexus/vortex?

afaik there are no f10 menus for the what this mod thread is about. Shift K for alter. shift Y for unipal, shift X/Z for palmagic. Alt N for Dyna and so on.

If unipal isn't opening your mod menu you either dont have it installed or its not installed correctly
