Big Pal Project - 0.5.1 (A weight gain mod for Palworld) (1/6 Update & GithubRelease!)

How would I know if the mod is working?

I think I set it up, but after testing a few things, im not so sure

If it’s working, then your pals with max hunger (full bar) will be obese

Then it is not working

I don’t know how to get it to work

Is UE4SS installed correctly and what pal are you using to test with?

I did install UE4SS correctly, and just re-installed it to see if anything was wrong. Currently, I am just taking the words in the guide literally due to nothing else working. Here is a screenshot of my Paks folder

An easier way to install UE4ss, is to download the workshop version of it in steam.

I am not sure what directory you are in but it should look something like this:

The PalWGSystem.pak should in the the LogicMods folder and you should have FatPals_P.pak in the same directory as Pal-Winodws.pak

It is now working, thank you for your assistance

Hello. I was interested in this mod and was wondering if it was possible to universally disable this feature exclusively for males. I’m not very big on male weight gain, personally.

Its possible but I don’t think I added a way to configure that. I think we where discussing it but never got to it.

Thank you for the quick response! I’m still going to try out the mod, although I’m having a bit of a tough time getting it to work, personally. I’m probably doing something wrong on my end.

Edit: I was trying to install an old version, haha! The problem has been resolved, thank you for your time!

Unfortunate that this hasn’t been updated, especially with 1.0 on the way

I plan on releasing a maintenance update once 1.0 is out to ensure the mod will work with it, but outside of that I just haven’t had any modelers interested in contributing or helping to fix some of the broken ones. I had one person reach out asking about contributing, but they went quiet fairly quickly after they first reached out.

Maybe when 1.0 comes out it might peek enough interest again a few people may be interested to step up to create more fat pals, but atm the best I can do is just basic maintenance updates.

Yeah such a shame, can’t remember the guys thats did the models but you should ask if there interested again on redoing the models but I guess that’s if there motivated which is always a challenge.

Checked this unofficial Palworld modding kit and details about Big Pal Project. Looks like even if game reached version 1.0 there is no official modding kit. The unofficial one is pretty limited and if I understood correctly it don’t allow you to work with characters animation blueprints :frowning:

The dump is a bit limited but got to know where to look a bit. I think it you can track down the animation blueprints you actually may be able to modify them as long as they didn’t disable the unreal patching functionality which all the asset replacement stuff depends on.

I know when I was doing the weight gain system though I had to setup quite a few blueprints that would dump stuff and spent quite a lot of time just tearing apart what I could to figure out how it was all working.

I read this part of unofficial modkit wiki: Jiggle Physics ( 18+ ) | Palworld Modding Docs
Looks like this modkit allow to create animation blueprint and use it as post process abp. I guess for my goal there is no need to edit original ABP then, because I wanted to add limb bones correction to remove this stupid clipping on fatter body shapes.
Anyway, I need to find some time to download Palworld and modkit to check how hard it will be to work with Big Pal Project.

Appreciate it Coldsteelj that would be amazing if you could do that but I know you got alot too do even with your own game vermonut but if ever get time that would be amazing :ok_hand:

if anything, just having the option to download the fatter models as skins would be nice, something something “favorite palblob”

Is it still working in 1.0 or did 1.0 break it?
