Legitimate client-side costume substitution?
Sorry, nope. Any modification to the game client is deemed illegal by the EULA under section 3, I believe.

Got Inf?
Along the lines of the client-side sound substitution which allows a person to sub a silent or different sound for an annoying one, is there a non-hack, 100% EULA-compliant method for substituting annoying costume pieces for others?
Bonus if it supports the random pool of object in Propel. |

Although not a huge part of this game, PvP is also a consideration.
Please note, even the sound mods are against the rules, even if they are ignored as long as we behave.

Good points, all.
The sound mods are officially sanctioned, though, and help and tips on the sound mods have been provided by the devs... as long as the EULA constraints on not hacking the game client are followed.
I hadn't even though about nude mods - my purpose is to go the other way and substitute normal costumes for "with skin" costumes, so my young son can play without my wife getting all up in a huff.
It'd be nice if they added a "Modest" setting in addition to the profanity filter, that hid some of the skimpier outfits. It wouldn't affect player visibility for PvP and such, but could appease overbearing moms. And I recognize the game is T rated and am not complaining about that.
Mebbe I'll turn his graphics all the way down.

It's as illegal as any other patch loaded into the data folder including Vidiotmaps, Power Icon pack or silencing sounds. It's frowned upon but as long as we don't cause an issue, the developer backdoor stays in the public release.
I've seen the nude patch, heck I had it for a few days because an SG I belonged to went fairy happy (as in sprites, nymphs, Tinkerbell) on me when costume wing recipes hit (our tech oriented base was turned into a magic one overnight, our conference table was turned into a grove of trees for crying out loud), an email from the SG suggested loading it without saying what it was. I quickly found the whole effect too squicky for me, popping into the base to craft and run into a giggle of what looked like underaged semi-nude girls with wings flittering about so I dumped the mod. Also it was kind of startling to run into a player character outside of the SG who got their costume bits replaced with the patch.
And no, I don't have it anymore or know where to get it. This was just after Issue 9 so over 3 years ago.

This was done to prevent Nude hacks. Granted in game we wouldnt be able to see them nude but there would be thousands of Youtube videos of all the pre-teen dreams running around. Not to mention the problem of all the 3ed party downloads that would be out there so that others could make their game City of Nude avatars for others to download that would really just put bugs and spyware on peoples computers that would steal user names and passwords, all and all a very bad door to open.

To the OP: If you can figure out how to do it, go for it. It's not that hard to do, really. Just be aware that it's in the darker shades of the gray area.

I'm not complaining or bitchin to you to STFU because I fully understand your(wifes) problem with the "skin", but does she not let him watch tv? Because you see the same stuff and more on tv, even on network tv. Worse on cable.

Must be some very tame anime then. Even Kasume aka Misty in Pokeman has a bare her midriff and short shorts.
Honestly if he asks tell him they, the characters with "wife objectionable outfits", prefer wearing bathing suits to allow them move around better. I'm sure he's seen girls wear bathing suits in the summer.
Yea, there still will be a few "looks naked" outfits around but they tend to be a clever attempt at matching skin color with spandex or mesh color. Make something up, he won't know better.
