@xrowex xrowex released this 24 Sep 00:21

RoweMod now includes the realistic Skeleton body. Existing users receive it through the normal automatic update; no separate body download or installer is needed.

Install or update

  • Already using RoweMod: start Rollout to download the update, close Rollout and RoweMod Online so it installs, then start the game again.
  • New users: download RoweMod-0.5.7.zip below, extract the whole ZIP, and run install.cmd. UE4SS is included.
  • Select Skeleton in Character customization > Body. Clothes and skates use the normal customization controls.
  • Everyone in a multiplayer session should update to receive the same skeleton assets.

Changes

  • Bundles the skeleton mesh, materials and body-selector preview with automatic installation, checksums, backups and rollback. Existing prototype files update in place; unrelated clothing mods and personal settings are preserved.
  • Fits the ribs and sternum inside the stock torso and shares the body's spine weights to address the hoodie chest clipping.
  • Keeps multiplayer player/status rows stable while refreshing, preserves selection and scroll during menu updates, and adds a RoweMod shortcut to the native pause menu.

Validation

51 Python tests and 19 Lua suites passed. Fresh installation, replacement of the older skeleton, damaged-file rejection, copy-failure rollback, and the complete deferred automatic-update flow passed. The cooked skeleton matches all 87 native rig bones; five offline hoodie pose checks passed.

The chest correction and pause-menu shortcut still need checks with actual in-game animations/input. Multiplayer remains experimental; the larger-lobby visibility issue still needs a live four-PC retest.
