This mod switches most non-story characters to be female, a bit like kristopher's mod for SR3. In addition, non-super versions of some Homies populate Gang Customization slots where appropriate, for variety.
The mod's files are sourced from patch_compressed.vpp_pc, so your DLC content should work (untested, as I don't have them. LOL)
Mods used: Admixion's New Textures Project - Summer Edition + New Clouds | Woolen Princess top | Sandbox++ to disable crosshair (release soon)
Camera is my own's, probably someone has already done something like it but if you like your character so centered it's blocking part of the crosshair just hit me up.

(contains a healthy? dose of Genkimobile action. some content may differ from the final product.)
If you're already sold on the mod just scroll to the bottom for INSTALLATION >>
Biker added Ronin and Brotherhood fem.
Clubber added Tanya and the 3 prez homies.
Cop now has Vera, in the Ho palette (multi colour) and Alien palette (black and red)
Mascots have the Genki Girls (super), replacing the bottle mascots, Angry Tiger and Sexy Kitten's voices have been changed, as it was previously shared and non-unique. Oh, your Genki also has 5x firearm power for parity with the NPC version.
Natguard now has red Morningstar: Viola, Clara, Lilian, Zoey
Ninja is now the Bloody Canoness + superpowers. If you can't see their eyes can you even say they are 100% the same person?
Saints now have SR3 Shaundi, Fun Shaundi, SR3 Kinzie and Lin. Street power!
Space Saints now has Kinzie, Asha, Shaundi in jumpsuits + Space Shaundi (no, Jenny doesn't exist in this game, sadly).
Punk now has MI6 Asha and Shaundi, because I ran out of ideas at this point and wanted to put them somewhere. LOL
With customization_groups.xtbl:
New Colvin aka Morning Star group have Saint-colored Morningstar, Viola and STAG officers.
Nude has Nude Shaundi. Not sure why I added her in, I don't even use it
"Zombie" category (if reenabled through optional files) are just my preferred gang with no rhyme or reason. See TIPS section below if you'd like to change it
Alien grunts are now a mix of Vera (female stripper cop), STAG, Morningstar, and Bloody Canoness. High-ranks are untouched (Murderbots, Marauder balls, Warden) since I wasn't sure what to replace them with. Alien models are also a bit limited unless I edit notoriety_spawns.xtbl.
Classic Gangs invasion now use female Brotherhood, Ronin, Morningstar models.
SPFC grunts are changed, most notably Vice Kings stage are now Ronin (bosses are untouched, as that would just conflict with the announcer & bout screen)
Within Optional Add-Ons:
character_definitions.xtbl is for introducing some size/height variations to the characters so they feel less "samey". Also Genki is 1.5 size for easier pickings, the annoying critter...
character_customization_categories.xtbl simply re-enable some gang customization groups, including Deckers and Luchadores (untouched).
spawn_info_ranks.xtbl buffs the civilians to be just a bit more aggressive, giving them weapons and lowering the cowardice (far less than shitface's NPC mod, to be less jarring).
Some characters use different voice banks, like the Sons of Samedi women who previously reused Young_WF_03 (a voice bank meant for Young White Females). LOL. there are probably some that I have missed. you can just smell the crunch on this game everywhere; for example there are tons of characters that have persona overrides despite already being defined in customization_group.xtbl
There are definitely things I forgot to write in here, some unintended issues and bugs maybe, sorry if that happens and please tell.
Open character.xtbl with a good editor like Notepad++, Windows' notepad.exe will give you headaches with files as complex and fragile as xtbl. (I may make a Notepad++ tutorial post someday, don't get your hopes up though. Really once you hide the icon toolbars, use XML language syntax highlighting and use Ctrl + F it's a lot more useful)
To change model, you have to change within <Character> ... </Character> tag, not <Character><Name> ... tag.
Many characters have different entry name and model name, make sure to double check otherwise it will crash.
Example, to change Marauder ball: edit the npc_turretball part, NOT npc_alien_marauder
Each tag (like <Character>) must have an equivalent closing tag (in this case, </Character>).
SAVE AND TEST OFTEN SO YOU CAN UNDO BACK TO A WORKING STATE WHEN IT CRASHES.

> The Bloody Canoness all use Viola's greeting and voice. Technically you can create a new s_ninja entry by Ctrl + D in Notepad++, rename it to s_ninja_02 with a different <Persona_Override></Persona_Override>, but it will still use Viola's icon, lol

Gangs
Gang Customizations have been rearranged as followsBiker added Ronin and Brotherhood fem.
Clubber added Tanya and the 3 prez homies.
Cop now has Vera, in the Ho palette (multi colour) and Alien palette (black and red)
Mascots have the Genki Girls (super), replacing the bottle mascots, Angry Tiger and Sexy Kitten's voices have been changed, as it was previously shared and non-unique. Oh, your Genki also has 5x firearm power for parity with the NPC version.

"Zombie" category (if reenabled through optional files) are just my preferred gang with no rhyme or reason. See TIPS section below if you'd like to change it
NPCs and PEDESTRIANS
Most ped categories simply duplicate female entries onto male ones.Alien grunts are now a mix of Vera (female stripper cop), STAG, Morningstar, and Bloody Canoness. High-ranks are untouched (Murderbots, Marauder balls, Warden) since I wasn't sure what to replace them with. Alien models are also a bit limited unless I edit notoriety_spawns.xtbl.

SPFC grunts are changed, most notably Vice Kings stage are now Ronin (bosses are untouched, as that would just conflict with the announcer & bout screen)
Files
character.xtbl is main file. See merging guide if needed - depending on the mod, you may have to remove the extra "zombie", "nude" entries within Customization_System_Only.Within Optional Add-Ons:
character_definitions.xtbl is for introducing some size/height variations to the characters so they feel less "samey". Also Genki is 1.5 size for easier pickings, the annoying critter...
character_customization_categories.xtbl simply re-enable some gang customization groups, including Deckers and Luchadores (untouched).
spawn_info_ranks.xtbl buffs the civilians to be just a bit more aggressive, giving them weapons and lowering the cowardice (far less than shitface's NPC mod, to be less jarring).
Other Things
yukichigai's superpowered homies fixes are ported into here, because it felt sensical (This uses a different method of achieving what he's put there).Some characters use different voice banks, like the Sons of Samedi women who previously reused Young_WF_03 (a voice bank meant for Young White Females). LOL. there are probably some that I have missed. you can just smell the crunch on this game everywhere; for example there are tons of characters that have persona overrides despite already being defined in customization_group.xtbl
There are definitely things I forgot to write in here, some unintended issues and bugs maybe, sorry if that happens and please tell.
Tips to change some things of the mod yourself
tl;drOpen character.xtbl with a good editor like Notepad++, Windows' notepad.exe will give you headaches with files as complex and fragile as xtbl. (I may make a Notepad++ tutorial post someday, don't get your hopes up though. Really once you hide the icon toolbars, use XML language syntax highlighting and use Ctrl + F it's a lot more useful)
To change model, you have to change within <Character> ... </Character> tag, not <Character><Name> ... tag.
Many characters have different entry name and model name, make sure to double check otherwise it will crash.
Example, to change Marauder ball: edit the npc_turretball part, NOT npc_alien_marauder
Each tag (like <Character>) must have an equivalent closing tag (in this case, </Character>).

All gangs that appear in Gang Customization are under Customization_System_Only category.
To have an easy list, in Notepad++ go to Search > Find (Ctrl + F), paste Customization_System_Only in "Find what": then press Find All in Current Document.
Double click the list in bottom half to quickly go to a line. Then click and type in the main window to make changes.
If you'd like to add another entry within a gang (like npc_s_ninja01), press Ctrl + D to duplicate that line. Change the <Name> slightly, example being npc_s_ninja02, npc_s_ninja03, so on...

Sure, give them a <Persona_Override> with a more generic, see audio_banks.xtbl list below.
An example looks like this:
Note if you give them certain personas like Asha or Tanya, it will change the follower icons into them.
An example looks like this:
... <Headshot_Multiplier>1.0</Headshot_Multiplier><Persona_Override>STAG_HF</Persona_Override></Character> .Note if you give them certain personas like Asha or Tanya, it will change the follower icons into them.
Some characters don't actually appear outside custcenes and may not have gameplay voices.
DLC characters likely won't have voices unless it's an unique appearance like Future Shaundi. Sorry for bold, I had to get that out of my system.

ZinyakYou have to add two things for each character entry:
If the character doesn't already have flags,
Same goes with removing them, if you prefer your scantily-dressed mascots to not run into traffic at 100km/h.
<behavior_override>Super Saint</behavior_override> just before </Character> tag, for powers (hadouken, TK, all that jazz) and<Flag>has_super_powers</Flag> for super movement.If the character doesn't already have flags,
<Flags><Flag>has_super_powers</Flag></Flags> , just before Firearm_Multiplier and after AI_Personality tag.Same goes with removing them, if you prefer your scantily-dressed mascots to not run into traffic at 100km/h.
In order of interestingness, here's my assumptions.
Flags are properties you can give to a character, like super movement, Murderbots' electrical "bleeding" effects or the Warden's shield. Some characters require specific flags to function as intended and some may not work at all, but here's a list.
They don't have descriptions. Feel free to try them yourself!
Remember to copy the whole tag and make sure it's within <Flags></Flags> tags, which usually just before Firearm_Multiplier and after AI_Personality tag.
AnimSets are useful to make sure specific characters use an animation override.
Example of using on civilian to use GANGF:
Headshot_Multiplier is how much of headshot damage this character gets, noticeable on shield grunts
Firearm Multiplier multiplies the damage this character does to others. This is most noticeable on SPFC enemies, they have quite high damage.
Spawn Rank affects the stats they spawn with, but in my testing it makes the customized gang members not spawn.

KNOWN ISSUES
> Since I'm too lazy to change the animation used, some of them will use the male walking and... "idle" animations. It kind of feels fitting for a Saints Row game for women to use the public urination action nodes lmao> The Bloody Canoness all use Viola's greeting and voice. Technically you can create a new s_ninja entry by Ctrl + D in Notepad++, rename it to s_ninja_02 with a different <Persona_Override></Persona_Override>, but it will still use Viola's icon, lol
> Some groups are unchanged, like the Pleasantville citizens. I actually tried this and then played through the Pleasantville mission... cue the woman neighbour speaking in a grown-ass man voice. Quickest bunch of Ctrl + Zs I ever did!
