Separate three systems
Character body and face, hair or cosmetics, and armor appearance are not necessarily edited in the same place. Identify which layer you want to change before looking for a menu.
Check before confirming
Some fundamental edits may be limited or tied to an edit voucher or platform item. Read the current confirmation screen and storefront terms before spending anything.
Armor appearance
Visual equipment and statistical equipment serve different jobs when the relevant layered or cosmetic systems are available. Verify that changing appearance does not alter the active build.
Protect the save
Use only official supported tools, allow synchronization to complete, and avoid unsupported save editors. Keep platform-backed save protection enabled where available.
Sources and verification
We use first-party documentation for game systems and support guidance. Explanations and recommendations are independently written. No third-party screenshots are used, and we do not claim first-hand testing without a documented test record.
