ALLgame data files, most of which you don't need:- For example, if you only wish to modify
fixed_data.bin, you can delete all other dumped files and directories. - Keep the

Ever wanted to play as Edelgard, or make Lysithea into Rhea? Well, now you can.
- Download
Progenitorand start it. - Choose
fixed_persondata Editor. - Navigate to

Characterstab, find characters you wish to swap. (e.g. female Byleth is0001or1and Edelgard is0002or2)
Most of important characters are within first 100 IDs.
Some characters might have several different IDs. Modifying only the one with the lowest ID should be enough. - Choose either of them and switch to
Othersub-tab. - Change
Asset IDvalue to that of the other character. (0001 : Bylethchange to2;0002 : Edelgardchanged to1) - Optionally, also swap
Voice ID,Out of Combat Animation SetandBody Typevalues for better results. File -> Save File.../Save File As....
Swap character models and change their pre/post-timeskip looks
Ever wanted to use Byleth's clothes or someone else? Or have characters use their pre/post-timeskip hairstyles? Well, now you can.
- Download
Progenitorand start it. - Choose
fixed_persondata Editor. - Navigate to
fixed_persondata.binfile found in~\romfs\patch4\nx\data. - In the
Characterstab, find characters you wish to modify. (e.g. Edelgard is0002or2)
Most of important characters are within first 100 IDs.
Some characters might have several different IDs. Modifying only the one with the lowest ID should be enough. - Switch to the
Asset IDtab and choose the record with the same ID as your desired character. (e.g.Asset ID #2for Edelgard). - Explanation of
Asset IDtab sections:Part 1 Assetsare PRE-timeskip parameters.
Part 2 Assetsare POST-timeskip parameters.
Otherparameters are self-explanatory. - Explanation of
Asset IDtab parameters:Head Modelsets which head model, including its hairstyle, is used for the character.
Body Modelsets which body model, including its attire, is used for the character.
Face IDshould set which face is used, but from my testing, the face is decided by the head model. Just use the same value as the source has. - Examples of possible changes:
- Use pre/post-timeskip hairstyle after the timeskip - copy
Part 1 Assets'sHead ModelandFace IDvalues intoPart 2 Assetsparameters, and vice versa. - Use NG+ hairstyle pre/post-timeskip - copy a value of
New Game+ Hair ModelintoHead Modelparameter of eitherPart X Assetssections. - Have Edelgard wear Byleth's clothes - copy the value of
Body Modelfrom Byleth'sAsset IDrecord (e.g.Asset ID #1) and paste it into Edelgard'sBody Modelparameters (e.g.Asset ID #2).
- Use pre/post-timeskip hairstyle after the timeskip - copy
File -> Save File.../Save File As....
Note: Both Byleths' Asset ID records are special because they do not use Part 1 Assets values.
That's indicated by Head Asset and Body Asset parameters having values of -1. Use Part 2 Asset values if you wish to use their models.
