Breakthrough: Hollowed Mesh Solution Found | HFW (Patreon)

We’ve all seen it: the infamous Swiss-cheese mesh disaster. Outfits looking like they’ve been attacked by a hungry mouse army, body parts vanishing mid-inventory like they’re auditioning for a magic show. Annoying? Oh yes. Stylish? Absolutely not.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been spelunking deep inside the game engine - armed with coffee, stubbornness, and a flashlight - to hunt down the culprit. And guess what? I found it! Turns out the humble weight allocation pattern, previously dismissed as “nothing to worry about,” was secretly plotting against us. Sneaky little thing.

The good news? I’ve already passed the intel to id-daemon (the mastermind behind the HFW export-import tool), and an upgraded version of the tool is alive and kicking. Soon, your outfits will stop moonlighting as Swiss cheese and start looking fabulous again - both in gameplay and in the inventory menu. So keep an eye out for updates from your favorite mod authors.

This victory isn’t mine alone - it’s ours. Without you, my Patrons and subscribers, I’d still be lost in the engine’s labyrinth muttering about polygons. Your patience and support kept me going, and now the modding wheel of Horizon Forbidden West is officially rolling. And trust me, it’s not just rolling - it’s picking up speed. More mods, more discoveries, and fewer disappearing pants await us.

So raise a toast to this win. The cheese holes are gone, the outfits are back, and the future looks mod-tastic!
