These things happen, you could just add the str2_pc from SRIV without unpacking it and changing the model inside the characters.xtbl

That's a thing? How would I add Lin to the character.xtbl?
Well, you could. Adding characters isn't an issue in SRIV so I don't think you'll have one here; however, you should just change the model of the character you want to replace and not just add the character
And no, I am not frustrated, just busy. I've dealt with many situations on these games, modding them is frustrating, so I am not frustrated with you as I understand how frustrating it can be.
Crash on load. Here's what my SRTT root folder looks like.
In the "character.xtbl" I've changed "Ella" to "Lin" using the "saints_female_lin" name.
Or is that not what you meant for me to do?

Honestly better to just do what you've been trying. What you're doing now is more advanced than what you did before.
You mean, go back to the broken "BuildPackfileGUI" that turns the models invisible?
If you're talking about all the mission files, thats a mission replay mod by someone else. I didn't make that, and I need it to test the NPC Models in cutscenes and get screenshots for my own mods
Oh no!
I wanted to test if Ella (Lin) was still invisible during cutscenes, so I loaded up the first mission, only for it to completely skip the cutscene and show me this.
All the NPCs are just little cubes on the floor... Until they die, then they turn into untextured bodies.
I tested it with another mission where she appears in a cutscene... It seems all cutscenes that involve her model just get completely skipped.
Also, after completing or exiting the mission, the whole of Steelport looked as glitchy as the above pictures.
Who'd have thought a simple NPC Model Swap mod would cause so many issues. I just wanted Lin, Donnie and a few others to appear throughout the campaign. As well as be recruitable in free roam.

Hey, glad you're still trying this. I still don't know either, but your desire to come back to the problem will help you succeed - eventually. Being patient with yourself and learning more as you go, I'm sure you will succeed eventually.
I still don't understand how a process that should take no more than just a few minutes, is taking me days.
If people are telling me exactly what to do, how is it still going wrong. I wish I had someone literally looking over my shoulder. Then they could stop me as soon as they spot where I'm about to go wrong. Instead I'm just trying my best to follow words on a screen, then reporting back after something's already gone wrong. And because I can't get pictures of what the problem is, they can only guess, when it comes to helping me figure it out.
