Description:

I want to be very clear:

All credit goes to Spongie.

Spongie made his mod open source and gave all modders permission to use it freely.

This means this is no longer just a temporary solution, and I will continue to maintain and update this mod.

If Spongie ever decides to return and wants to reuse any part of the code from this version, including copying it 1:1, that is completely fine with me.

If you would like to say thank you, leave an award, or share kind words about how much you enjoy this mod, please do so here:

Original Spongie’s Character Customisation

What this version is

This workshop upload exists to keep Spongie’s Character Customisation working properly in both singleplayer and multiplayer on Build 42.16+.

I heavily reworked parts of the original Spongie’s Character Customisation mod to preserve singleplayer compatibility, fix game freezes, support the new character creation screen, and include the translation rework introduced with Build 42.15.

I also recently made major adjustments for multiplayer to improve client/server syncing and added several mod compatibility improvements.

What this version does

Fixes the major issues in singleplayer.

Fixes problems such as game freezes during world creation.

Improves performance while playing in singleplayer.

Adjusts and improves many sync-related issues in multiplayer.

Includes 12 translations.

Adjusts some translations to prevent the UI from shifting too much.

Corrects several GUID / ID related issues.

Notes

Build 42.16+ onwards

Made only to restore proper functionality in SP and MP.

I will keep this version alive through upcoming game updates.

What this version does differently

In singleplayer, everything is applied immediately. No request-and-approval step is needed because the client and server are the same.

In multiplayer, however, it still uses the original request-and-approval approach through sent and received commands. However, I improved a lot of the code related to client/server syncing and made several mod compatibility adjustments.

This workshop item fully replaces
Spongie’s Character Customisation 1:1 for Build 42.16+ onwards.

It completely adopts the original SPNCC identity.

With this version enabled, the original Spongie version will no longer be shown in-game, and only this fixed version will be used instead.

You do not need to unsubscribe from Spongie’s original mod.

The only exception is local multiplayer hosting. If you want to host a local multiplayer server, you should unsubscribe from the original Spongie’s Character Customisation.

TEXTURE ISSUES – READ ME

Try changing your mod load order and let Spongie’s mod load first.

Set Maximum Texture Size to 512. (BASE GAME OPTION)

Restart the game after enabling Spongie’s mod, body mods, or texture mods.

These mods need to be enabled in the main game, not only inside a save or multiplayer session.

Texture and body mods must be active in the main game before loading in.

Get naked! Take off all clothes and check if the issue still persists.

Details Pack = Vanilla Body Model
Details Pack HD = Tombs Body Model, etc.

Do not use Spongie’s vanilla faces on other custom body models.

HAIR NOT GROWING?

This is unrelated to this mod.

This mod only adds body hair growth. It does not affect the hair on top of your head.

MULTIPLAYER NOT WORKING?

In your server INI settings, the mod must be enabled and also added to the “Steam Workshop” section.

Do not use multiple versions of Spongie’s Character Customisation at the same time.

If you are hosting a local multiplayer server, I recommend unsubscribing from the original.

SyncBlood MESSAGE SPAM?

Then you are not using this version in multiplayer.

You are using the wrong Workshop ID in your server settings.

This version does not have SyncBlood messages.

Keep in mind that you should not switch back and forth between different versions of Spongie’s Character Customisation on long-running multiplayer servers.

Only switch versions if you want to wipe the server and start fresh.
