Modding - FAQ

« Return

Mods listed here can be found in the pasta.

  1. What are mods?
    Mods add more features into the game. They largely help you in getting your waifu realized (clothing, accessories) or getting the perfect shot in the studio (maps, poser).

  2. How do I install mods?
    In most cases, you just copy paste the contents of the mods into your installation folder. Of course, make sure your folder level is correct (abdata from mod goes into abdata in install path).

    Some others would require some extra steps, like how WideSlider requires you to run an executable to patch the game. Most mods come with a readme.txt, so make sure you do give it a peek on how it should be installed.

  3. Is there a mod manager?
    Nope, there is no specialized mod manager for Honey Select. However, HoneyMaker and fellow Anons do recommend JSGME mod manager. I did not use it, but to quote some Anons:

    I just read the instructions in the .txt file. That sounds really easy to use. It's a lot like Mod Organizer for Skyrim. I don't know what this anon was talking about. This is simple af.

    Another Anon was kind enough to prepare a short guide on using JSGME. Give it a read if you plan on using it.

  4. What are the essential mods?
    Pasta Anon has added tags like Recommended and Highly Recommended into the pasta. What I consider essentials are:

    • WideSlider (Vrl0ver), allows you to go pass certain limits while making characters. Bigger breasts, shorter height, you get the point.
    • GGmod (Aastaroth), for some nice high heels action.
    • SBX2 Uncensor (Stampar) and Male Uncensor From PlayClub (Cur144), for dicks and vaginas.
  5. Is there an "All-In-One" pack for mods?
    There is the MF or EMF patch (Dr. Yoshi). It bundles a bunch of essential mods into one executable.

    If you do plan to use it, tread carefully. The bundle includes the old, infamous 4K Diffuse Skin Textures (Plasticmind), which results in a lot of issues. To name some, pale white ghost skin on characters, tattoos and make up stopped working, and many more.

  6. So I heard 4K Diffuse Skin Texture is fixed and that skin is real delicious. How do I install it?
    You need to install the mods in the order below:

    1. SBX2.5 Uncensor (Stampar)
    2. SBX2.5 Custom Juice Textures (Stampar)
    3. SBX2.5 Pubic Hair Patch (Stampar)
    4. Male Uncensor From PlayClub v4.1 (Cur144)
    5. Colorable Clothing (Painz) (optional)
    6. Graphics Patch (plasticmind)
    7. 4K Skin Diffuse (plasticmind)

    The file name for the Graphic Patch is (161231DLC)HoneySelect Graphic Patch ver.170410.rar, and 4K Skin Diffuse is (SBX2.5)4K Texture Pack.rar at the time of this post. The file names may change as updates roll out, but you get the idea.

    To really harness the beauty of 4K skin, you have to change the Skin Type of your character to the 4K skins in character maker. If the diffuse did not work well for you, plasticmind included an uninstall folder. Just extract and replace the files.

  7. How do I remove the copyright watermark on screenshots?
    To begin with, Thorfinn from HongFire has prepared a simple archive that you can just drop into their respective folders. Below are the detailed steps of removing the watermark image.

    1. Download SB3UGS (enimaroah). Do note that this is not the latest one, but its the one I tested with.
    2. Extract the contents, and execute SB3UtilityGUI.exe. You will see the GUI interface.
    3. From the menu, select File and Open. Locate your installation folder. From here on, there are two files to tamper with.
      1. For Honey Select, open HoneySelect_64_Data/sharedassets14.assets.
      2. For Honey Studio, open HoneyStudio_64_Data/sharedassets1.assets.
    4. A panel on the left should be updated, and there should be an Img tab. Click it.
    5. Now is a nice time to backup a copy of the asset file, if you feel like it.
    6. The list inside the panel should be updated, so look for an entry named cap.
    7. Press Shift and Del to delete the watermark file.
    8. Press Ctrl and S to save. Now go screenshot happy.
  8. Are there any mods to go beyond the limit of ten accesory?
    It will come at a price, of your waifu having only one clothing set. Firstly, install the StudioInvisible mod. It comes with three accessories, but the one you want is ACC Summon Ring.

    This ring can be found in both the Hand Accessory and Gloves section. When this ring is worn by a character, accessories from all clothing sets (Normal, Room and Bath) will be displayed, effectively allowing you to use up to 29 accessories.

  9. IPA patcher? WideSlider patcher? HSSlotID? HiR? I'm confused!
    Let's go through this one by one.

    1. Illusion Plugin Architecture (IPA) (EusthEnoptEron) is usually seen as a patcher named HoneySelect_64_Patched.exe in your main installation directory. It is the core framework that allows plugins to access the game internals, and do their thing.

      As a basic example, the translation is a plugin that uses IPA to replace the Japanese characters to English words. IPA is considered one of the most essential mods, and is usually installed with GGmod (Aastaroth).

    2. WideSlider patcher (Vrl0ver) is usually seen as a patcher named HoneySelect_64_WideSliderPatch.exe in your main installation directory. As described earlier, it allows you to go pass certain limits while making characters. As an example, if you are a fan of huge tits, feel free to pull the breast slider up to 200.

    3. HSSlotID (DillDoe) was created in the absence of a proper mod manager. Every item in the game is bound to a Slot ID, and since it is hard to communicate between different mod communities, some modders ended up using the same Slot ID.

      When that happens, one of the conflicted item will appear to be missing. HSSlotID allows you to reassign the conflicted item to another Slot ID.

    4. HoneySelect Item Resolver (HiR) (YashiroAmamiya) is almost similar to HSSlotID, but for the studio instead. Also, it handles the conflict for you, by assigning new studio items to their respective Slot ID in an incremental fashion.
