With Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, players can relish the original trilogy in its original vanilla state, thanks to a meticulous remaster. However, even amidst the nostalgia, players crave a touch of personalization. So, in this guide, we’ll go over the secrets of outfit customization within the remastered edition. While the essence of the classic adventures remains intact, with this guide, you can infuse a personalized flair into Lara Croft’s iconic wardrobe. That being said, let’s see how to change outfits or clothes in Tomb Raider I-III (1,2,3) Remastered.
Players have expressed dissatisfaction about the absence of an outfit select feature in the remasters of Tomb Raider I-III, except for within the confines of photo mode. This limitation restricts players from easily accessing and changing Lara Croft’s attire during regular gameplay. Fortunately, players have found a way to customize the outfits of Lara. Here is how.
Tomb Raider I-III (1,2,3) Remastered: How to change outfit or clothes
Recognizing the demand for outfit selection, a player has ingeniously crafted a workaround that involves tweaking certain files within the game’s installation folder. Now, if all of that sounds too complex, don’t worry. To simplify this process and ensure accessibility for all players, we’ve outlined the step-by-step instructions below.
- Navigate to Installation Location: Locate the installation folder for Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on your PC. If you are not sure about where the installation folder is located, right-click on the game’s shortcut icon, select “Properties” then “Open File Location”. This will lead you directly to the installation directory of the game.
- Open the “1” Folder: Within the installation folder, find and open the “1” folder.
- Access the “ITEM” Folder: Inside the “1” folder, locate and open the “ITEM” folder.
- Locate “OUTFIT” Files: Scroll down within the “ITEM” folder to find the “OUTFIT” files. These files control Lara Croft’s outfits in the game.
- Choose Outfit Replacement: Identify the specific “OUTFIT” file associated with the outfit you want to replace. For example, if you are playing Tomb Raider 1 (TR1) and wish to replace the classic TR1 outfit with the Scuba suit, find “OUTFIT_TR1_CLASSIC”.
- Replace and Rename: Delete the original “OUTFIT_TR1_CLASSIC” file. Copy and paste the “OUTFIT_TR2_SWIM” file and rename the newly pasted file to “OUTFIT_TR1_CLASSIC”.
Well, when you load up the game, the classic outfit will now be replaced with the Scuba suit or the outfit of your choice.
Tips and Recommendations:
As a precaution, it’s advisable to make a backup copy of the entire “ITEM” folder before making any changes. This backup ensures that you can easily revert to the original settings if needed. Finally, for players seeking a more immersive experience in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, a clever trick involves deleting specific “HOLSTER” weapon files, such as “HOLSTER_SHOTGUN”. By doing so, players can prevent these weapons from displaying when holstered. This becomes particularly useful when playing with outfits like the nightgown (OUTFIT_TR2_HOME), as it eliminates the visual distraction of floating weapons on Lara’s back or hip.
