Hello everyone, I have updated the Costume Customizer skin patch up to Azusa. Everything's set up for one-click installs, so check out the video above on how to do it if you prefer that, or follow this written guide:

BP_GS Skin Patch Setup

Download the BP_GS Skin patch up to Azusa 1.4.7z from below.

Head to your Costume Customizer folder.

Extract everything from the patch file into that folder (overwrite when prompted).

Run the LazyPatcher.exe from the extracted files.

And you're done!

Notes: 

This patch only supports skins from Hi-Metal and Eromaro skins. If you're using a custom skin, make sure you tone matches it from those skin mentioned.

The patch supports CC 480 slots, and if you encounter any errors. Download these CC patches depending on what installation you have.Credits to Sonemi Kosonem from LL for creating CC patches available to the public.- Costume Customizer 120 slot_PATCH.7z- Costume Customizer 240 slot_PATCH.7z- Costume Customizer 480 slot_PATCH.7z- Costume Customizer Patch for Azusa (240 slots) by Sonemi Kusonem.7z- Costume Customizer Patch for Azusa (480 slots) by Sonemi Kusonem.7zExtract the specific files from your costume customizer folder, and you are done!

Shading/Sheen Fixes

If your mods are having shading or sheen issues because of a game update, there are fixes available for both DMM and STEAM versions. Quick heads-up: These fixes work only if you download the mod after May 31, 2022. Otherwise, you'll need to re-download it.

1-Click Update for .buf Files

I've added a one-click update script that updates only the necessary .buf files, keeping everything clean. You’ll need Python installed on your computer. If you haven't got it yet, grab it from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ .

New Update Method

Download the appropriate file:

1_Click_update_DMM_1.00.7z (for DMM) or

1_Click_update_STEAM_1.00.7z (for STEAM)

Extract the archive to find three files:

update_files

buf_update.py

Either run_steam.bat or run_dmm.bat (depending on your version)

Place these files into your Costume Customizer folder.

Double-click the right batch file (run_steam.bat or run_dmm.bat). A window will pop up showing what files are being updated. Once it’s done, you’re all set!

Old Update Method

Download:

DMM_buf_V1.4.7z (for DMM) or

STEAM_buf_1.6.7z (for STEAM)

Locate the mod folder with the issue in your Costume Customizer folder (usually named 1, 2, 3, etc.).

Extract the buf folder from the downloaded file and copy it into the mod folder, overwriting the existing files.

Note: These fixes only work with mods I made.

Extra Fixes

If the Costume Customizer isn’t working right, updating the d3dx.ini file might do the trick. You can get the updated file from here. Big thanks to the authors behind these fixes!

What kind of problems should I use this patch for? For example, shadows are not displayed?

Maasim

If your mod looks like black and white or the mesh is washed up. In your example, you can fix that by updating the CC framework to the latest version.

rabbit junk

It seems like the fading has happened again with a recent update. Can I fix it?

Maasim

I will try to fix it within this weekend. Please wait until then.

Maasim

It's now been updated. Please redownload it again.

I got an error when using "BP_GS Skin Patch". Looking at the error code, I think the cause is that this patch was created assuming 480 slot. But I'm using 120 slot in CC, so I can't apply it well. I think it is probably necessary to modify each ini file, but is it possible to do so?

Maasim

ok I didn't test it on the 120 slot, can you send me the screenshot what is the error and the mod menu for me to identify what mods are installed if that is possible? In the meantime can download this https://www.patreon.com/file?h=80265583&m=426669701 drag and drop it on Costume Customizer folder then see if that would fix the problem.

suigetu30

ok, but I'm increasingly worried about how to send images. Is there any better way? And is it okay to speak Japanese?

Maasim

You could try https://gofile.io/ to upload images and it's ok to speak Japanese i will use machine translation 😉

Reika seems to have some skin tone differences going on with her when using CC with costumes. This is with the BP/GS skins. I also can't see if this is a problem with the other new girls since I don't have them unlocked.

AtlasTerroriser

Let's say if Im using a custom skin for Reika, How do i toned match with your files?

AtlasTerroriser

I'll see and try to work it out, thanks for the guide. Also there seems to be another problem with the CC mods where it went glitchy and i had to reload the mod to "reset" it. Is there a way to fix them?

Maasim

What do mean glitchy?

AtlasTerroriser

Sorry I don't know how to upload image on patreon yet, can i Discord you privately for this matter?

Maasim

Ummm, what screenshot? The screenshot in the chat is my screenshot.

codogs

Thank you. I swapped out the skin. Sorry for the need for tech support.

Xigmma

How can I fix a line on the neck area of BP skin? Thank you

Maasim

Are you using a custom skin on the face and body? Cause it usually causes the problem.

Xigmma

I think I use the Hi-Metal skin but it's 4k for shandy. New mod didn't have this kind of problems but some old mod like Osmanthus Wine have. Could you share your basic skin of shandy? Thank you.

魔法F

Thanks for the effort!

Hello, I have a question about the Azusa BP patch. If it patched correctly then Azusa should work with BP presets? After running the patcher she still has missing textures over the naughty bits. I have the BP CC that was already patched up to Reika installed but I dunno if the lazypatcher actually did anything to those CC files or the XML in that folder. Dunno if it matters but I don't see anything with the AZS keyword in that BP folder or XML after the patch. Did I mess something up, or am I dumb and misunderstood what the patch is for? The files were put in the root CC folder with all the numbered folders and lazypatcher was run from there. I get a bunch of re-generating xml messages and a patch successful afterwards. I know this isn't the best place for tech support, but if Azusa BP is working for you then just let me know my setup is prob messed up and I can try a clean install

Maasim

It's working fine on my end. I downloaded "BP_GS Skin patch up to Azusa.7z" and extracted the contents to the costume customizer installation. Run "LazyPatcher1.1.exe" . Let it run until it finishes and is done. Noted that this patch only works on my mods. Other mods not made by me will not be patched. Here's a new video tutorial on how I did it. https://fileditchfiles.me/file.php?f=/b70/UEvusNNWKTQBdAAzfFmY.mp4 If that still does not work. Try to run "CCModPackUpdater.exe" included in the .7z you downloaded. When you see there's an error popping up when you run that, there's a problem on your with your computer lacking dependencies. You need to download the VC++ runtimes. I find a GitHub repo that installs all necessary runtimes for ease of use. https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist here's the direct download link https://kutt.it/vcpp This might take a while cause it will install 2005 to 2026 runtimes. After it was done. Restart your computer. Download the patch and run it. I should work. If all of that's method isn't working.. We gonna do manual work. We're gonna fix each of the mods, and it's gonna be tedious. First of all, download this file https://fileditchfiles.me/file.php?f=/b70/zadqobuBJfnCUBmsQyLx.7z This includes all the necessary programs and files needed to do it. Here's a video tutorial I made last year on how I did it on Reika, but i would apply it to Azusa too, in a general way. https://fileditchfiles.me/file.php?f=/s21/kjchFfnugAWjaEjQkCc.mp4 Hope this works.

Kasm

Thank you for the files. I had to manually fix it since the patch wasn't working even after doing clean installs and running the VC files. What I did was take the Reika patch someone else provided on LL and patch that for Azusa using your video. Thank you for your hard work and quick response. Below is what I was writing as I was troubleshooting. I'll leave it in the event it helps anyone else. If it's a problem I can remove it. But thank you again. ------ I removed my current BP install that was patched up to Reika by someone else in the LL thread. With these files I had BP working for every girl except Azusa. I tried a fresh BP CC install and I also tried the Yukino patched BP files from 3 years ago you released. When I run lazypatcher I get this message at the top Added Meg to 01 Added Shizuku to 01 Updated 01/CostumeCustomizerModConfig.xml I assume a message should appear for each girl, but it seems to skip over Reika, Yukino, and Azusa. Also, even though it mentions Meg and Shizuku in the patcher these two don't have working textures after the patch. They gain entries in the xml but still no working textures. Even after moving the textures manually. I ran the VC++ files you linked and restarted. Still no luck with the patcher afterwards. Then I tried a clean CC install with only the BP mod installed. I downloaded CC 2.5.2, applied the 480 patch in this post, then the Azusa 480 patch in this post. Same message when I run lazypatcher. I also tried the SavageMB Azusa patch from the LL thread. This patch is has Azusa and Reika with their own icons in the F3 menu. So it is slightly different to the Azusa patch in this patreon post that replaced Yukino with Azusa for me. Still no luck.

Maasim

Can you tell me what mods are you trying to fix, I gonna try to replicate what's your problem and see what I could do to fix yours

ルナ

Hello. I installed this patch according to the instructions, but I encountered an error like the one shown in the image. I tried reverting to the previous files once, but the error persists. If you know what might be causing this, could you please let me know? https://tadaup.jp/1IJtMIly.png

Maasim

Sorry I think i figure out the problem there's an error in the code i make so please redownload again the patch and run it. it should fix the problem

ルナ

Thank you. I overrode the 1.1 patch in the CostumeCustomizer folder, ran LazyPatcher1.1.exe, and then launched the game, but the error persisted on my system. I might have missed a step, so I'll keep trying.

Maasim

Can you tell me what mods are you trying to fix. So I could pin point what is the problem

ルナ

I apologize for not understanding your intent. Based on the error message, I initially thought there might be an issue with Honoka.ini. I then reconsidered and tried resetting it to its initial state, suspecting data within 01 to 480 might be causing the problem, but it did not improve.

Maasim

So this is what I'm trying to achieve. I'm trying to simulate what mods you installed in your computer and see what cause the problem.. Cause sometimes that error causes a single mod that you installed. Anyways did you already put the patch Costume Customizer 480 slot_PATCH.7z and Costume Customizer Patch for Azusa (480 slots) by Sonemi Kusonem.7z this right?

ルナ

After overwriting CostumeCustomizer with “Costume Customizer 480 slot_PATCH.7z” and “Costume Customizer Patch for Azusa (480 slots) by Sonemi Kusonem.7z”, the 1.1 patch has been applied.

Maasim

Is it now working correctly?

ルナ

No, an error message appears. Incidentally, this error message always appears when launching the game, but strangely enough, when I call Meg during gameplay, I don't notice anything particularly unusual. I can also successfully change costumes using CostumeCustomizer.

Maasim

I updated the patch to fix some bugs, You can try to redownload it and apply again the patch, See if that fix the problem

ルナ

Thank you for your assistance! I applied the 1.4 patch, but the error persists. Considering there are no other reports of the same symptoms as mine, there might be an issue with my environment. I'll try methods like a clean install again.

Maasim

I see, hope you can fix it.

ルナ

After performing a clean install of the Costume Customizer, the error was resolved. However, when I restored the numbered folders 01 through 480 to their pre-clean-install state, the error reappeared. I then reset some random folders to their initial state, which reduced the number of errors. It seems the error is likely caused by a MOD in one of these folders. While I haven't pinpointed the specific MOD yet, the issue is resolved for now. Thank you so much.

Maasim

I see, if you find anything. Just tell me. I would try to fix it

ルナ

After excluding the Dream Chaser mod created by Maasim in the past, the error no longer occurs. I'm relieved to have pinpointed the cause. Thank you for everything!

Maasim

Thats the only mod the mess up the patch, damn it. Anyways thanks for telling me

ルナ

Not at all. Thank you for always creating such wonderful MODs. I look forward to more in the future.
