[WOTC] Sonic Cosmetics: Mobians

This mod adds a plethora of Mobian cosmetic options from the Sonic series, mostly from Forces, for use with XCOM soldiers and faction heroes of either gender.

And when i say "a plethora of cosmetic options", i mean it. This mod basically soft-adds a new species to the game in the form of cosmetics, so be aware as your part lists will be noticeably longer to scroll through.

The mod's file size remains very small for how much it adds, however. This is both due to being cooked, and because the Sonic art style generally doesn't require very detailed assets.

These parts tend to have more detail in their geometry than their textures, which is great for keeping the file size down as even the most detailed models tend to use less space than big (2048x2048+) textures, and most textures here are only 512x512 in size, sometimes 1024x1024.

I tried to adjust their proportions to fit the XCOM rig while taking care to not ruin their designs. Body-wise they're mostly the same, but they have smaller heads, hands, and feet.
Obviously it's different to how they usually look, but in my opinion, i think it works well...

...for the Forces Avatars, but it's definitely odd seeing the named characters who have established proportions running around with the same bodies the Avatars do.
You can remedy this with the various clothing and gear options. They all look pretty good in tactical gear, for example.

• Parts for every single category. All of them.
  
• A metric crap-ton of mix-n-match potential.
  
• Colorable fur, skin, and eyes.
  
• Tintability for most parts, along with variants.

• Heads (Heads, Race 0/Caucasian)
  
• Bang Extensions (Hair)
  
• Helmets & Face Props (where do you think)
  
• Bodies (Torso)
  
• Clothing + Accessories (Torso Gear, Thighs)
  
• Chest Fur (Hair & Face Props)
  
• Tails (with physics!) (Shins)
  
• Gloves (Left/Right Arm)
  
• Shoes (Legs)
  
• Elbow & Knee Pads (Shoulders/Forearms)

• Amy (Head, Clothing, Shoes)
  
• Blaze (Head, Clothing, Tail, Shoes)
  
• Knuckles (Partial) (Head, Tail, Shoes)
  
• Shadow (Head, Body, Chest Fur, Gloves, Shoes)
  
• Silver (Partial) (Head, Chest Fur)
  
• Sonic (Head, Body, Shoes)
  
• Tails (Head, Body, Chest Fur, Tails)

• Community Highlander - REQUIRED for the heads and edited materials to work without crashing.
  
  
• Invisible Body Parts For All - REQUIRED so you have a way to take off auxillary body parts.
  
  
• All Armour Avenger - Soft required, because without this, all your mobian soldiers will use the human underlay uniform when spawned on the Avenger, which will look really stupid.
  
  
• Customize Soldier Size - Soft required, unless you don't mind playing with oversized mobians.
  
  
• Resizable Armor - More in-depth customization than CSS at the cost of not saving size settings to the character pool.
  
  
• One Million Colors - The vanilla game has terrible color control, so you might want this or another color palette expander.
  
  
• Head Options for Skirmishers - Allows Skirmishers to have hair tinting, circumventing the 3rd issue in Known Issues.

Q: Allies Unknown expansion when?
A: Likely never from me. Lots of code work that i couldn't and/or didn't feel like figuring out last time i attempted it.

Q: XCOM human versions of these body parts when?
A: Don't count on it.

Q: What the ♥♥♥♥ is a "mobian"?
A: The semi-official species name for sonic furry people, usually only used in side material like the archie comics.

• No facial animations. Would likely need to do some animation black magic to make this a reality.
  
  
• Helmets and Face Props don't fit the named character's heads perfectly, as they have different shapes from the Avatar heads.
  
  
• Skirmishers don't have hair, ergo, no hair tinting, so any mobian skirms you have won't be able to have their fur colored.
  
  
• The heads use custom eye textures, so if you use EYExtender it'll overwrite those textures and give you a monstrosity with hyper-realistic human eyes.

• Check the change notes, this is a pack with a long update history, too much to put here.

• Apoc Hedgie, RandomTBush, & their collaborators - Creators of the SFM mods i've used to extract the named character assets from. Find their workshop pages here, and here.
  
  
• Evie/Capnbubs - Creator of some of the helmet props used, taken from Capnbubs' Accessories.
