@John_Nicolette, TBH I'm not sure about being able to change the press officer's face given that in previous versions it is challenging to find their UID and all but the pack can be used for any version, as long as your XML file is properly written. You can change any staff regens face.

Hello! I found out how to do this the 'quick' way. There is a bit of a compromise, but it sure beats copying and pasting numbers onto images 72 different times.

First, follow the instructions above up until question four. Make note of the number that appears instead of your the regen face.

For example, my press officer had an image with '1396' while my personal assistant had '300'.

Go into the 'Regen UID Finder' in the graphics/faces folder and replace the images with your PO / PA number with whatever image you like. So for me, I replaced images '300' and '1396' with the face that I wanted.

After that, delete (or better yet, move them somewhere else) all images inside the folder aside from the edited ones. What was left of my folder was the .config file (which I did not touch), a ds_store file and the two custom images. If you don't delete the other images, all regens in game will be black boxes with a number in them. We don't want that, obviously.

...And that should work! Test it out by reloading the skin.

Compromises:

1. If you want to add another face onto another regen, here are the steps: copy all previous pictures (which is why I recommended to just move them somehwere else, and yeah - all 15,000 of them. My hardrive was sulking the whole way) back into the graphics/pictures folder to identify the faces you need (make sure you don't overwrite any existing faces). Go in game, reload skin, make a note of the face you want to edit, overwrite the image number with whatever picture, delete the other unedited images, and finally reload the skin.

It's a bit hard, but better than manual labour.


2. Your computer does most of the hard work. 😉


Finally, thanks @Rowan for this mod! If anyone needs me to clarify anything, ask.

dont quite get this either...tried the Excel instructions but i feel like the image number should be entered somewhere in the string to be pasted in the second column.

Hey unfortunately we only use PayPal right now (we had issues accepting credit cards previously) any issues you have with PayPal will need to be fixed with them. I don't fully understand the issue with the phone numbers but it should be resolvable through PayPal support
