Step 1 – Required Tools
You will need the following tools:

Navigate to Nezuko’s textures: APK β†’ Content β†’ Art β†’ Model β†’ Plc β†’ P0002_Nezuko β†’ V00 β†’ C00 β†’ Texture.
Select Body_AC and Body_DI.
Click Export β†’ Choose a folder (e.g., DemonSlayerMods).

Step 3 – Editing Textures
Open exported textures in Photoshop (or any image editor).
Recolor Nezuko’s pink outfit to yellow.
Save the modified textures.

Step 4 – Rebuilding with Unreal Engine
Open Unreal Engine β†’ Create a new Blank Project (e.g., YellowNezuko).
Drag the modified Art folder into Unreal Engine.
File β†’ Save All.
File β†’ Cook Content for Windows.
Wait until cooking finishes.

Step 5 – Repacking with UnrealPak
