Game: Saints Row: The Third (PC)
Item: Goth Lyfe Pants
Problem: Ass clipping through skirt
Example:
How to fix:
1) Unpack
misc_tables.vpp_pc with
https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/extracting-an-individual-packfile.3189/
2) find the file
customization_items.xtbl
3) Copy this file to the root of Saints Row game folder.
3) Open with notepad, find the item
cf_nlmc_lbdy_m_skirtpants
4) navigate through the line untill you find the block
<Obscured_VIDs>........</Obscured_VIDs>
5) Add inside that block
<Obscured_VID><VID>16</VID></Obscured_VID> to make pelvis body part invisible.
6) Save (if you use notepad, see that the extention is right, .xtbl not .txt)
This solves the problem. There is still a bug that when running thighs clip through the skirt in the front, but I didn't bother fixing that 'coz we don't see it in the game most of the time anyway. The most annoying part, i.e. pink ass clipping through skirt is now gone.
Same can be done with SRIV goth costume, I expect, but note that pants can't be found there separately, so you'll have to google the name of an item (costume) to make it work. But as the mesh seems to be the same, it should work. The solution for this costume was added earlier in this thread, but was reported not working for whatever reasons I don't know.
Thought I'd share this solution seeing I couldn't find it anywhere and had to figure it out myself.
