Welcome to Stilwater Women's Correctional Facility!
Did you ever find it strange starting a new game as a female boss, only to wake up from a coma inside a male prison?
Did you ever find it odd busting Laura out of jail whilst male prisoners riot?
This mod was built to address these incongruencies, and make the game more lore friendly while playing as a female boss!
OVERVIEW:
During the development of Saint's Row 2, the prison was intended to be for both male and female prisoners. This is confirmed in-game by Jane Valderama in the "Early Parole" cutscene, when she refers to the line of prisoners as "men and women".
The game shipped with only male prisoners, but female prisoners were left unused in the files. They were evidently cut late into development, as everything is there (including voice lines), except some colour information was incorrect.
This mod fixes the female prisoner NPCs and swaps them with the vanilla game's male prisoners. Various other changes have been made throughout the game to maintain lore.
For example; You may be thinking "But what about Carlos? How did he find his way into a women's only prison at the start of the game?".
In the female prison timeline, Carlos sneaks in as a security camera repair man. Since Carlos never specifically mentions getting himself arrested at any time in his dialog, his new disguise is (technically) lore friendly!
CHANGES:
MODELS:
• npc_prisoner has been replaced with npc_prisoner_female (cut content).
- Cut voice lines have been restored!
- All prison action nodes work correctly. (They will lift weights, play harmonica, etc.)
- The cut models originally had unfinished colour information, like bright green hair. This has been fixed.
- Prisoner heights now range from 5'4" to 6'0".
• Only female prison guards will spawn inside prison grounds. (Male guards can still spawn elsewhere on the island.)
- This mod is entirely compatible with NOVA SPE's cop variations. (No changes have been made to npc_cop.xtbl or npc_cop.cvtf.)
• Carlos' prison outfit has been changed to a Video Repair outfit.
MISSIONS:
• Cutscenes involving prisoners have been changed to show female prisoners. These are: "VACATION'S OVER" (TSSP-INTRO2), and "EARLY PAROLE" (BRO08-01)
• "FILE IN THE CAKE" (ss02):.
- Low-poly Prisoners have been upgraded to regular Female Prisoners. (A Low Performance option is also included which uses the female low-poly prisoners.)
- Only female prison guards are found inside the prison, while outside they are more common. (You may also spot a couple of familiar faces while entering the prison!).
• "JAIL BAIT" (bh08):
- All Brotherhood NPCs on the buses and boats are now female Brotherhood members. (Not an overtly noticable change, but it's there if you look for it.) (Changing these to prisoners prevented Brotherhood notoriety from being gained.)
- The opening cutscene ("EARLY PAROLE") had issues with the orientation of two of the prison buses in the PC version of Saint's Row 2. This has been fixed to look as close to the console version as possible.
ACTIVITIES:
• PRISON FIGHT CLUB:
- Prison Fighters have been replaced with Female Prisoners. The cut voices work here also.
- Crowd as been upgraded from low-poly prisoners to Female Prisoners. (A Low Performance option is also included which uses the female low-poly prisoners.)
EXTRA:
• This mod also provides optional prison uniform variations, including Scrubs. (There are 7 colour variations for Jumpsuits and 7 for Scrubs, all inspired by real world US prison uniforms.)
- Scrubs use an altered npc_nurse. As these replace prisoners, these will not affect the regular npc_nurse in any way.
- Cut voices, action nodes, cutscenes, missions, activities and everything else will work just as they do with the regular female prisoner, whichever variation you choose. (Provided you installed ALL the Essential Files first.)
• Laura also has matching Jumpsuit colour variations. She won't look out of place, whichever prisoner variation you choose!
• The player's prison outfit in the opening mission can also be changed to match whichever prison outfit you choose. (*May cause issues with Wardrobe. See "Issues" below.)
Cut Female Prisoners have been restored to the game in place of the Male Prisoners! Multiple Jumpsuit colour options are available!
Prisoners can also wear Scrubs! (These use a modified and renamed npc_Nurse. The original npc_Nurse is not affected in any way.)
The Boss's Prison Uniform can be changed to match the other Female Prisoners. (Please see; ISSUES below.)
Laura's outfit can also be colour matched to whichever Prison Uniform you choose!
Carlos now sneaks his way into the Prison as a Security Camera Repair Man!
Prison Fight Club now uses Female Prisoners. (The cut Voices work here also.)
Female Prisoners will now riot in "File In The Cake".

ISSUES:
PLAYER OUTFITS:
• Issue: If you have previously installed a mod which adds more outfits to the wardrobe (such as NOVA SPE's additional outfits), any time you try to preview one of those outfits which used to exist, the game will now crash.
• Fix: Reinstall the previously installed additional outfits mod, delete the saved outfits from your wardrobe and save your game, reinstall Female Prison Overhaul.

INSTALLING ALTERNATE PRISON UNIFORMS:
1. Install all files from the corresponding Uniform's "0. ESSENTIAL FILES (...)" first.
2. Install all files from any colour folder (ie: "1. Orange"). You can switch between a Uniform's colour options without having to reinstall the Uniform's Essential Files.

UNINSTALLER:
WARNING: NEVER blindly run a .bat file you downloaded from the internet! This batch file is safe, but don't take my word for it. Open it in Notepad first, and make sure it won't delete anything from your system you don't want it to.
