Rebuilt from scratch.

Luckily, on the 9th attempt, it just sort of worked. It honestly improves the game dramatically, and I'm beyond happy I stuck with it.

Of note, I did need to use the instructions posted by 283423947hf.525720 above since the final step failed when using cmd.exe.
Ahhhh congrats then!

When choosing Iluka.
This is on Citra if that matters.

Edit: Second picture when choosing Lisette

i want to ask, is this mod could add inari costumes? like for male then inari male, and for female then inari female? and also adding stephanie and woofio costumes because v1.1 patch didn't had it so i guess i can only hope for those modders to make 2 more empty slots on clothes for that and make it come true...

hello! i actually made an account because im feeling very lost. i cant open makerom and ctrtool in trying to rebuild from scratch. i dont know that iso site and from my search, it's down. the only progress i made was using decrypt. im just that dumb and need some bit of more guide, im sorry to ask of this.

i really want to play the patch, it looks really neat.

EDIT: alright, so im an idiot that i didnt noticed cmd even tho ive read the instructions how many times, but now im stuck with -t romfs, could not open input file.

EDIT TO THE EDITE: after 2hrs of idiocy, i have now made it worked! hurrah!

sure! get your copy of trio of town 1.1 file and download the files under the building cia instructions; i use batch cia decrypt and the 3 files on number 3.

make a folder and drag all the files on it along with your ToT 1.1 copy and SoSToT update file from the patch files, they have to be on the same folder. on your start button, search cmd (command prompt), right click and click on "open file location", do it again so it leads you to system folder. copy that file and paste it on the same folder with your files. after your decrypt it, follow the rest of the instructions written by the developer.

if you're having any problems, feel free to ask. my bad if it's still confusing, im not that good at explaining. im usually bad at it.

[CIA ERROR] Content 0 Is Corrupt (res = -10)
[RESULT] Failed to build CIA

283423947hf's post on page 38 fixed it.

the very last one: "makerom -f cia -target t -content tle_update.cxi:0:0 -o tle_update.cia -minor 2 -ignoresign"

added the -ignoresign on the very last command.

Hey, I just figured out how to build the cia. I slightly edited the instructions that Silrae posted in the OP.
1. Get a CIA of Trio of Town's 1.1 update by either dumping your own copy with GodMode9 or other means
2. Decrypt your CIA with GodMode9 or Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor
3. Download Ctrtools and Makerom as well as Romfs Builder and Exinjector, place all files in the same place as your CIA
4. Open Powershell by right-clicking the folder while holding shift, then enter these commands one by one:
Code:
.\ctrtool --contents=contents "<Name of CIA>".cia
.\ctrtool -p --exefs=exefs.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>"
.\ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin
.\ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>"
.\ctrtool -t romfs --romfsdir=romfs romfs.bin
.\ctrtool -p --exheader=exheader.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>"
.\ctrtool -p --logo=logo.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>"

6. if you haven't already download TLE's patch files and extract the contents inside the "Patch Files" folder to the location of your romfs and CIA and overwrite
7. If you are using or planning to use the Hamtaro & Cheburashka Restoration Patch go into the "Optional Patches" folder and move the files from the
"Hamtaro Compatibility Patch" to your romfs folder and overwrite.
**If you haven't already also take the files from the restoration patch and move them into your romfs folder and overwrite.
8. If you want to use one of the optional patches, read the "README.txt" in your romfs folder and follow its instructions for whichever patch you want
9. Open Romfs Builder, choose your romfs folder, and rebuild your romfs naming it "romfs.bin"
10. Open your terminal again and enter these commands one by one:
Code:
.\makerom -f cxi -o tle_update.cxi -rsf SoSToT_update.rsf -target t -desc ecapp:3 -exheader exheader.bin -logo logo.bin -exefslogo -code exefs/code.bin -romfs romfs.bin -icon exefs/icon.bin
.\exinjector -rom tle_update.cxi -exheader exheader.bin
.\makerom -f cia -target t -content tle_update.cxi:0:0 -o tle_update.cia -minor 2 -ignoresign

11. You now have a CIA of Trio of Town's 1.1 update with TLE!
12. Install your TLE CIA into your 3ds with FBI or if you're using Citra navigate to File -> Install CIA and install your CIA (You'll have to get the base game on your own)

If your cia file is called totupdate.cia then when using Powershell you would type .\ctrtool --contents=contents totupdate.cia
Also, my biggest contents file was named contents.0000.00000002 so it probably will be for you too.
I have a slight issue. Powershell says those commands are not correct no matter what I do.

Hi, I know this might be rather annoying but this is a lot of words for me and I have trouble processing so much. Is there anyone who would be willing to walk through it one by one with me? I have a Tumblr and Twitter I can message you to make things easier word wise if needed. It's okay if this asking for too much, of course! I'll just played the regular game if I have to.

Hello! Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm having trouble building the CIA. I'm at step 5 but I'm not sure what to put for "name of biggest content file". If anyone could enlighten me as to what this means that would be great. Thank you! :)

Hello! I made an account for this so if someone could help me with those steps I'd really appreciate it.
The first commands are working fine but when it comes to this one:

.\ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin

PowerShell gives me ' error: could not open input file! '

Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks in advance, I'd love to play this mod since SoS:Trio is one of my absolute faves in the series.

I've been trying to install the mod through the CIA method without any success, however I was able to get the xDelta Patch to work only to find out the download doesn't include an xDelta version of the Hamtaro Compatibility Patch despite Step 4 saying it should exist.
Could someone please tell me where I can find an xDelta version of the Hamtaro Compatibility Patch, or at least tell me how to make it myself?

I think I need some help with rebuilding the CIA, I've been following the instructions of both the developer and 283423947hf's post above and was able create the CIA with the tle update but when I install the CIA, the game only updates to version 1.1, none of the tle features are there. I think I might be doing something wrong but I'm not sure what really since I'm completely new to this. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me!

hi! I'm having trouble with this problem as well- I'm literal newbie to hacking. Did you ever find out? If so do you mind telling me? Thanks.

EDIT: NVM I got help.

So, if I'm looking at these instructions and am almost totally lost, is it probably not worth it for me to try setting this up? I'm bi and would really love the option to date/marry regardless of gender, because I don't know which character I'll end up liking best once I start playing. But I also don't necessarily want to sink hours upon hours into trying to get this to work, since I'm really starting from scratch and have never done any 3DS hacking before. Just trying to judge whether this is something I'll be able to figure out or if I should just accept the game as-is given I'm a total newbie to this.
