Personify - In-Game NPC Editor for Schedule I

🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de.

Design custom NPCs live in-game - body, face, hair, clothing, tattoos - previewed on the menu character, and export a ready-to-publish Personnel NPC pack. Runs as a Side Hustle gamemode, right from the main menu.

What it does

• Live preview on the menu character - rotate, zoom, compare against the base human.
• Character mode mirrors the vanilla character creator; Advanced mode opens the full avatar surface: stacked layers, custom PNG imports, per-layer visibility and tint.
• Inkorporated tattoos: if Inkorporated is installed, its tattoo packs appear in the tattoo picker; chosen art is copied into your pack so exports stay self-contained.
• One-click export to a complete Personnel pack, wrapped Thunderstore-ready (manifest, README, LICENSE). Drop the pack into UserData/Personnel/Packs/ to test; upload the wrapper to publish.

Early release: the main flows are verified in-game, but 1.0.0 has not yet seen extended real-world testing - it will mature over the coming releases. Reports at support.doodesch.de directly shape the next version.

Requirements

• Schedule I (IL2CPP) with MelonLoader 0.7.3+.
• S1API and Side Hustle (pulled in as dependencies).
• Optional: Personnel (to see your NPCs in the world) and Inkorporated (tattoo packs in the editor).

Usage

Main menu -> Side Hustle -> Personify. Create a project, add NPCs, design them, hit Export. The export lands in UserData/Personify/Exports/<name>/ and the folder opens automatically. Custom PNG layers go into UserData/Personify/Import/ first, then "+ Add custom layer" in Advanced mode.

Changelog

All notable changes to Personify are documented here. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.2.2] - 2026-08-01

Changed

• Runs on Schedule I 0.4.6f11.
• Needs S1API 3.1.1, up from 3.0.5. Update it along with the mod.

[1.2.1] - 2026-07-27

Fixed

• Clothing no longer sticks between characters. Building several NPCs in a row could leave a garment from an earlier one on the new character: the game clears only six of its eight avatar layer slots, so an NPC with more layers than that strands its clothing where the next NPC inherits it.
• Layers no longer look darker than they should. The same leak could composite one layer several times over, which read as a tint that nothing in the editor removed.
• A layer no longer vanishes without explanation. Past eight body layers the game silently drops one; the surplus is now dropped deliberately and named in the log.
• Two NPCs that each import a PNG with the same filename no longer share one texture. Custom layer paths were derived from the filename alone, so the second NPC rendered the first one's image.

[1.2.0] - 2026-07-23

Added

• Inkorporated tattoo packs now show up directly in the Advanced tab's face and body layer pickers, grouped by pack - face-placement tattoos in the face picker, everything else in the body picker. Picking one copies the PNG into your NPC pack, so exports stay self-contained (same behaviour as the Character tab's tattoo button, which previously was the only place they appeared).

Fixed

• Tattoo packs installed while the game is running are picked up the next time the editor or a layer picker opens - the pack list is no longer read only once per session.

[1.1.2] - 2026-07-11

Changed

• Hardened the release build to cut down on antivirus false positives. The published DLL no longer carries debug symbols or a local build path, and it now ships proper assembly identity (author, product, copyright). Packaging only - no gameplay changes.

[1.1.1] - 2026-07-10

Fixed

• Released builds now compile the shared UI layer into Personify itself instead of silently borrowing it from SideHustle.dll, so a future Side Hustle update can no longer break the editor at launch.
• The mod now reports its real version to MelonLoader (previous releases always said 1.0.0).

[1.1.0] - 2026-07-08

Added

• Quick-pick chips for the game's standard clothing colours in the colour picker.

Changed

• Clothing colour is easier to find: clothing rows now show a labelled "Colour" swatch.

[1.0.0] - 2026-07-06

Initial release.

Added

• Side Hustle gamemode: full NPC editor at the main menu with live preview on the menu character (rotate, zoom, base-human comparison).
• Character mode mirroring the vanilla character creator: gender, weight, skin, hair, mouth, facial hair, facial details, eyes, eyebrows, top/bottom, shoes, headwear, eyewear, tattoos.
• Advanced mode: stacked face/body/accessory layers, custom PNG layer import, per-layer visibility and tint, extension blocks for consumer mods.
• Inkorporated integration: installed tattoo packs are offered in the tattoo picker; chosen art is copied into the pack so exports stay self-contained.
• One-click export to a complete Personnel pack, wrapped Thunderstore-ready (manifest.json, README, LICENSE, optional icon).
• Auto-derived, duplicate-proof NPC ids (packname_npcname); duplicate names rejected at export.
• Project management under UserData/Personify/Projects/ with autosave.
