Hacking ROM Hack Harvest Moon: A New Beginning Model Swap

[TiredInsomniac]

So, I'm currently working on editing HM:AnB to make a gay mod. I've got the text messages for things like the love events figured out because that was surprisingly easy to find (and is easy to edit, too, thankfully) but I know that I'll need to change the character models or something so that I can still have the correct pronouns for other characters without editing every other text file to do that.

So obviously my question would be what files do I edit to do that? I've played the SoS:ToT gay mod hack (which is great btw totally recommend if you somehow don't know about it) so I know something along the lines is theoretically possible, I'm just not sure what I'd need to edit to do that. I saw on a seperate AnB thread that someone has managed to swap models before by editing the model files directly, but I have no idea how/where to find said files and, even then, what to change the names to in order for it to work... If I need to edit the scripts themselves or something else instead, please tell me because I'd love to know! (And potentially not waste my time model swapping if that won't work out how I intend it to lol)

These same questions apply to the first SoS game too, btw, since I'd love to try and tackle that as well. Oh, and if someone could also tell me where to find the text files for that as well, that'd be very much appreciated. :')

Hello, have you figured it out yet?

So I cannot remember for the life of me where I found it, or even if it's still up for download anywhere, but awhile back someone tried to do the same thing for SoS1 to an extent, I don't think it was ever finished but I still have the files. It looks like it included text edits and model swaps for the player, so hopefully this helps!
