-	===== Modifying outfit textures ======
-	==== Step One: Download the base texture set ====
-	The base texture set contains the texture files used in the scene. Download the texture set for the [[http://www.gamerotica.com/share/view/texture/207234-thrixxx_texturepack_yacht|Yacht]]. Be sure to download the one that is matches your [[en:versions|version]]. These are the texture files that you need to edit to customize the scene.

-		+	See [[en:installing_a_texture_mod|installing texture mods]]

-	If you download for the wrong game [[en:versions|version]] the textures may still work but you're better off to download the set that matches your version.\\	+

-	==== Step Two: Install the texture set ====	+
-		+

-	==== Step Three: Activate the texture set ====	+
-	{{:en:scenemod:activate_mod.jpg|}}	+
-	- Run the game	+
-	- Go to the Settings tab	+
-	- Turn on the texture set (note: you may not be able to see the full name of the zip archive. You can rename the zip file in the "mod" folder if this makes it easier. Otherwise, take your best guess.	+
-	- This will unzip the textures into a folder underneath the "%%ActiveMod%%" folder	+
-	- E.g. "%%ActiveMod%%\thriXXX_TexturePack_Yacht.zip"	+
-		+
-	Note: The "%%ActiveMod%%" folder location depends on either your installation directory (Windows XP) or your windows user directory (Windows Vista). The easiest way to find it, is to check the start menu for the "Open mod folder" shortcut.	+
