Recently picked up the game, and found this mod:
It’s evidently entirely possible to just edit the body weight value of any NPC in the game, judging by this, and I’m curious if anyone has any more details on how to go about doing this, the necessary tools and such, or if there are already any other similar mods. I’m particularly interested in just doing this for all of the romanceable characters. Whatever tool makes these seems to export a compiled fbmod filetype that can’t be cracked or reversed to my knowledge.

A little bit more research, and it looks like it’s a third-party tool called Frosty Editor. Furthermore, it seems like there’s actually a lot of potential for not just changing in-game body triangle coordinate, but actual mesh editing. When I’ve got more time, I might delve into this a bit, and I’ll post more findings, and the files of anything I get around to making.
Veilguard’s not a best of RPG’s recently released, but others like Avowed and Cyberpunk 2077 gave like no body shape options whatsoever, and didn’t make it easy to mod them for that either.
I’ll be real, while I like modding, most fat mods don’t hit for me because I’m a process guy. While some are into WG for the destination, others like me are in it for the journey. As such, I would be a lot more interested in Veilguard if A: it was less fucked over by EA and B: had potential for dynamic body mods rather than static ‘X, but fat’ stuff. Having to manage a character’s weight or seeing NPC weights fluctuate would be a more compelling proposition, so if that is doable, MAYBE someone with the skillset picks it up, or someone is motivated to learn those skills in order to make it happen.
Mods don’t form by osmosis; there’s generally a motivated individual or group that does the actual modding, Just because a game CAN be modded doesn’t mean it WILL be.

There’s no way I’m doing all that. I just like having chubby characters in my games. I don’t personally care for all the fixation on increase. If you’d prefer I not post anything I throw together for it, then alright I guess.

I think having a chubby body mod at all would be great! So personally I appreciate what you’ve put together here
