Virgo's (Modding) Laboratory


Outside of XIV and related, I'm primarily a writer.
But in XIV? I really like to 3D manipulate blorbos.
I enjoy magical girls, romantic/feminine aesthetics and especially steampunk, but what I make personally will probably be more eclectic than that implies; I will create what I like and please.
Most of the time I'll be working with vanilla assets. If not, they'll be sourced/referenced properly on the mod's page.
My preferred program of choice is Blender, and I'll mix others in depending on the project and purpose.
For converting/body use on tall feminine models, I'll primarily be working within the YAB/Rue ranges, with some Lavabod tops. Sizes will vary; expect mixes.
Older work usually used Bibo+.
I may do other bodies too, as well as occasional masc-body modding.

BEFORE YOU CONTACT

My Discord handle is virgofall if you need to report a bug, set up a commission or similar, but...

PLEASE state the purpose of your message from the start.
I will ignore basic 'hi'/'how are you' etc. types of messages.
Please do not come to me for generalized mod-related troubleshooting.
I will only provide support directly related to my mods and will redirect to existing guides for anything else.

Terms of Use

Rules here are for the end user.
For modding commissions, I have more specific terms in the respective section.

For work that uses others' assets, their permissions supercede mine.

Private/personal edits are absolutely fine.
Commissioning/paying others to do these edits for you is also fine - a heads-up would be nice, but isn't strictly required.
If something I make or edit uses another creator's work, their permissions/terms apply as well.

Public publishing is fine with credit.
(Provided any other relevant permissions allow for it)

Tall model-based edits are generally free game.
Trans or GNC bodies? Neat! Bodies outside 'straight' sizes? Have fun, enjoy yourself!
However: If you wish to port any of my work to lalafell, child NPCs etc., SFW ports/bodies only, and not of NSFW mods.
I won't enforce other body bans for porting... but not having such bans doesn't inherently mean I support the bodies/their creators.
Don't use my work for hateful, vulgar or obscene purposes.
I don't care if my stuff is used for erotic/R18/other NSFW purposes, but do not use my work for underage character NSFW, lalafellin NSFW, or bestiality/zoophilia, because no.
Specific mods might have additional requests/ToS outside the terms presented above.

If in doubt, ask first.

Modding Commissions

I primarily use mixes of YAB, Rue and Lavabod in my personal modding.
For commission purposes, I may take other bodies case-by-case, outside those in No.

Yes!

  • Mashing existing tattoos/scales

  • Mashing existing 3D facial elements

  • Teeth installation on existing faces/sculpts

  • Minor minion edits/additions

  • Merging accessories onto one item

  • Bibo+/Gen3 UV conversions

NO - I Simply Won't

  • Lalafell refits outside self-made content (2D asset mashing is fine)

  • Underage/Lalafell NSFW

  • Bigotry/obscene content

  • gen3 body model refits

  • Hyacinth, Okaa-san, Kitten etc. refits

  • VFX editing work

  • Customize+ profiles/editing

  • Original face sculpts or face reweighting

I will not create extensive scratch work at this time.
Other stuff, you're welcome to ask; I make no guarantees.

Pricing

Base Price: $10 USD

Complexity will affect the final price. This base is for relatively simple work without a lot of fiddly bits or tweaking.
I will take payment via PayPal or Ko-Fi, after the mod is completed but before it is sent.
Tips are always welcome!
Skin/facial mashes will remain private unless commissioner or asset permissions ask otherwise.
Simple minion edits may be released publically.
Other items will depend.

I respect creators' permissions.

If permission from a creator is required to modify their work, responsibility lies on the commissioner.
If an additional copy of a paid asset/mod is required for me to edit it, and I do not already own it, that cost also falls onto the commissioner.

My Discord handle is virgofall if you're interested in setting up something,
but PLEASE state the reason for your message from the start.
I will ignore basic 'hi'/'how are you' etc. types of messages.

NO - Skill Issue

(Not confident, can change in future)Please do not come to me for generalized mod-related troubleshooting.
I am autistic, and this affects my work and thought processes. My understanding of things is often atypical, and it's hell on both me and recipients to explain things as a result.
Thus, I will only provide support directly related to my mods.

  • Exceptionally large bodies (e.g. Lux - I'm working on this!)

  • Extensive scratch work

  • Animation work more extensive than swaps
