So I want to change a core file... Group... Any help?

I was planning on making a mod that added leather and leather tanning to the game. I wanted to change all leathers into animal skin but I don't know how I'd go about that... Any advice for a total noob?

Each animal "leather" has its named defined in the race/pawn XML files. You'd need to override those in one of two ways:

1) Copy/pasta all the animal race/pawn XML files into your mod, and change the names. Not a very friendly method to other mods.

2) Use the new way of changing def properties outlined in one of the pinned posts. I haven't tried this method in any of my mods yet, but it's supposed to be super mod friendly.

Hopefully that helps.

I do believe the pinned post being referenced is this one.

You would probably want to use the PatchOperationSetName which you can find in Zhentar's guide on the patch operations.

If you want to PM me I would be glad to help you out in doing this.
