Terraria Fat NPC Resource Pack

So a while ago I mentioned in terraria player character/vanity set reskins? that I was making a resource pack for Terraria that changed the NPCs to be fat. Right now I got it in a somewhat presentable state, so I figured I’d upload it for everyone to see.

What does this change?

Currently it changes sprites for the Golfer, Guide, Stylist and Zoologist NPCs, along with a single painting. It’s not much, of course, but I included 3 weight levels for each of them, so you can mess around a little.
Am I going to keep updating this pack with more NPCs and niceties? I don’t know. I tend to drop projects rather easily, but I’ll do it as long as I have the motivation to keep going.
If I do update this in the future, I’ll definitely not keep this restricted to NPCs, I might change enemies as well. I’ll also add more male NPCs, since although I am not into men there are people who are and would appreciate that.

How do I get this thing going?

It’s rather simple. All you need to do is put the folder I’ll provide for you later in the post inside your ResourcePacks folder (for Windows users, it should be located in C:\Users(insert your profile name here)\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ResourcePacks), and it will appear inside your game’s Workshop Hub when you boot it up.
Now, you might notice that it doesn’t actually change much, if anything at first. That’s because I disabled all the images by hiding them inside folders the game doesn’t look into; to fix that, you’ll need to extract the pack, go into the files and manually put them outside these folders yourself. This way you can customize your NPCs and make them as fat as you’d like.

Depending on how you extract the .zip, Windows might puke all the individual files out instead of packaging them neatly inside a folder. If that happens, create the folder yourself and put all the files inside. It doesn’t matter what the folder is called, the game’ll recognize it anyway.

Cool. But where’s the file I need to download?

Here you go: fcrp.zip (219.8 KB)

And last but not least, some pictures you can look at:

Please tell me if you run into any issues, have any suggestions/feedback or just want to say how much you like/dislike/love/utterly despise what I made. It wasn’t that much work, it just took this long because I’m slow at doing things.
Also make sure to tell me if I put this in the wrong category, I saw other people make posts about similar things here so I just went along with that and am hoping for the best.

This is fantastic! I started using this pack and I’m really excited to see more! The Massive sprites are particularly good~

I like these! Looking forward to more.

How do I get these to work in the Steam version?

You need to get whatever textures you want to use into the TownNPCs folder outside their original folder (chubby, fat, etc)

Where EXACTLY do I need to put them? I’ve tried putting them in the “Documents” folder & even the actual game folder, but nothing seems to work. They don’t even show up in the “workshop” list…

I didn’t upload this pack to the workshop or anything (probably never will as it would be much more inconvenient to move files around and it’s also not a good fit for that place either way), so you won’t find them there.
As for where you need to put the folder, provided you’re using Windows it should go in the file path C:\Users(insert your profile name here)\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ResourcePacks, as outlined in the original post. That’s where non-Workshop resource packs go as a rule of thumb.
After that it’s just a matter of going into the files, picking out the ones you like and putting them out of their respective folders and into the TownNPCs folder.

I figured out the problem…
I was stupid & didn’t put it into a folder titled “BigGirls” & instead extracted everything into the “ResourcePack” folder… Thanks for all your help & sorry for being an idiot about this. God bless you all!

It’s alright lol, happy to help and hope you enjoy the pack!

This is awesome! :O
I’d love to see some other sprites down the road, but this I’m gonna be using for a while! ^v^

I’m wondering if you could do an fat furry alt for this mod? Because some people don’t like fat humans and prefer fat furs instead. And maybe make them fatter too?

Maybe? I’m definitely partial to the idea myself but doing that and/or a new weight stage is quite a bit of work (and if I recall correctly the “massive” sheets already are pretty close to hitting the image borders so there might not even be enough room for that), so no promises.

Since I’m here already I suppose I could tell y’all what I’ve been up to all this time… which is not much. I’ve worked on an NPC here and there and edited a painting, but nothing of substance ready. I just kinda got bored after a while. Maybe I could go back to work on this and release a small update sometime in the near future though. And just so you know, if anyone wants to take anything in this pack and edit it and make their own versions of the sheets feel free, I don’t mind.

Oh okay, thank you for responding and confirming that you’ll let other people make their own!
