So recently reinstalled and trying to restore some of my .dat mods, mainly my Hume F hairstyle. So ran AltanaView and target is 1/32/67, so do my file swap and nothing. Tried gear swapping, zoning, and even full shot down and reload, but it's no taking. Thinking either some kind of shuffle happened (Doubt it) or SE finally cracked on .dat mods. Any ideas?

Edit: Also tried using a different .dat file I'd never used and it too isn't working at all.

>.>;;; Disregard, was targeting the wrong instance. Was trying to mod my backup patch file instead of the active files... Need more coffee...

That hume female head model is rom/32/67.dat still, nothing has changed.

Most likely, the problem is that you have 2 installs of FFXI and the one that is running the game is different than the one you're changing files in.

Was exactly the problem. Was targeting my backfiles instead of the active ones. I feel dumb now.

I did it myself months ago, it's pretty easy to do.
