      I don’t see FakeFactory on the credits page, though it wouldn’t surprise me if he changed his username after all the mockery he got for fully modeling Alyx’s internal reproductive organs.

        Honestly, that guy had a great visual overhaul mod and nobody would have given them any crap for a genitals mod if they had simply separated the two.

        This game seems to attract all the strangest modders.

          Nah, it’s just the most horny that are also motivated enough to make the mod. There are plenty of others for other games.

          Also, it was mediocre. The assets themselves were high-quality, but they didn’t make sense in the HL2 world, and the environment quality wasn’t increased to the same level, so it just looked weird.

            Between paid commissions and putting downloads behind affiliate links (later replaced with Patreons), they were also a way for horny teenagers to make a lot of money. Porn and furries (and furry porn) apparently bring out the big spenders.

          Did he create the models for his mod or were they imported from somewhere else?

          Not excusing the fact that he included them but it would be slightly more forgivable if he used somebody else’s models and didn’t realize the amount of, uh, detail.

            Given the nature of the mod, like the fact that it provided like 4 dozen varients of every character to select from, I’m guessing it was taken from another source. That said, it was likely also tweaked to work in the Source Engine, and to be closer to vanilla Alyx. Its unlikely he would have downloaded an apparently tame model, possibly modified it, and imported it without noticing it was a model intended for porn.
