Distractions: Horizon Zero Dawn (Patreon)

The last piece was actually delayed 2 and a half hours. And it was delayed because, after owning the game for a couple years now, I finally decided to play Horizon: Zero Dawn.

But, what was stopping me from playing for the past two years was that I didn't want to play it with Aloy having little stick arms. Which meant that either somebody would have to release a mod to beef her up, or I would have to do it myself.

So, that's what I did. Since all the mods on Nexus were just slutty things, I went ahead and made modifications to a few of the early armors to make Aloy look as though she might actually be able to launch herself up a mountainside through sheer athleticism.

Because I was figuring things out as I went, these are not all the same size of muscles. They're all roughly similar, but notably the Outcast armor is generally more lithe.

Attached are the armors I have converted so far. I have been tweaking each armor as I acquire it in my playthrough, and since I'm more of a charge in head-long that means I'm unlikely to use certain armors.

Anyways, the armors included here are the Aloy Undergarments "armor" that is used when Aloy is not equipped with her gear in certain parts of the story, the Outcast armor that Aloy starts the game with, the Nora Brave armor that Aloy gets after talking to Teb in the intro section of the game, and the Nora Protector armor (which has 2 files) that you can buy from any trader after entering the main Nora settlement.

The Nora Protector armor is the most recently modified one, but also the most complex, as it comes in light, medium, and heavy versions. These versions all seem to share the same base, but I only modified the base and the armbands that get added to the medium and heavy sets, so anything else added to the medium or heavy sets might clip.

=======================

To use these mods in your own game, just drop them into the folder "...\Horizon Zero Dawn\Packed_DX12"

This folder should contain a bunch of .bin files that includes Initial.bin and Patch.bin

To remove the mod, just delete the files you added. You can use whichever outfits you want, as they are each in their own separate file (or 2 in the case of the Protector armor).
