Althea (Kida_Mei) Mods

Hi, I'm Althea (also known as Kida_Mei).
I'm a completely self-taught modder. I've been modding since Stormblood, around the time the well-known tools were first released. I primarily develop mods for myself or close friends, but I generally try to release anything which I think may be useful to most users.

Permissions:

  • Edits are OK as long as you provide proper credit. (This includes me AND any other users/mods that my mod may use. Please provide direct links back to all.)

  • NO PERMANENT PAYWALLS. Most of the assets I use are either vanilla or another modder's work and that's not fair to any of us. If you are paying someone in private to make a personal edit for you to use, however, that is fine.

  • NSFW ok within reason. (ie. no lalafell/minors) with the exception of this mod. That's an OC and I don't want people being weird with it.

  • As long as your intent falls within these permissions, you do not need to DM me for explicit permission.

Commissions:

I DO NOT accept commissions. Suggestions are always fun, but I don't take formal commissions because it's too stressful and detrimental to my mental health. If you like my work and would like to leave a tip, however, you can do that on my ko-fi.

(Note: I have done screenshot "commissions" for close friends before, so if you've come here from one of those shots the same applies to screenshots.)

Help:

I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have in regards to mod creation or even simple troubleshooting. Feel free to DM me on Twitter if you need some help, but forgive me if I don't respond immediately as I don't check Twitter more than about once a day or so.
Keep in mind, I am not an industry professional. Any help I provide is purely from my own experiences and may not be the most efficient or effective options. That being said, I know it can be overwhelming trying to find the answer to a specific question, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you think I can help!
My experience lies primarily in Photoshop CC and 3dsMax, with limited animation modding through Blender.
I've also put together a compendium of modding guides which are useful if you're just starting out. Find that here or in the links page.
