The Character Generator is only in the full version of Modern Interiors. The character pieces in Modern Exteriors can be used in the Character Generator but you need to manually add them to the character pieces folder. There's a guide for how to do that in the Character Generator help page once you launch the tool.

You'll have to first create the spritesheet using some sort of art software, LimeZu uses Aseprite (It's on Steam). Then you can import that spritesheet into the Character Generator if you wanted to use it there. There's a guide for how to import custom character pieces in the Character Generator help menu on page 10.
We'd need more info to be able to help, I'd recommend joining the Discord and asking there. https://discord.com/invite/2wB3RuAESb
Hey there Courtney! I understand the frustration. Sadly LimeZu didn't include names for each character piece meaning they're only numbered. In the future I'd love to add proper names to each one however I frankly don't have the time nor patience to do it myself.
I'm unsure how a preview would work here. Are you talking about showing the item on the character when you hover over the option in the dropdown? Or including icons of each item in the dropdown that show what they look like? Or something else?
In case you or anyone else still wants the answer to this question. Find the installation directory of the Character Generator (Defautls to Program Files/Character Generator 2.0), from within there is another folder titled "Character Pieces", in there are all character pieces that the Character Generator uses. Simply add the character pieces from Modern Exteriors to the correct folder.
Note in order for a character piece to be loaded it **must** also have a 16x16 verison. So if you want to use the 32x32 or 48x48 versions you need to also include the 16x16 version for it to appear in the Character Generator.
Apologies I know I'm late to respond to this. RPG Maker requires sprites to be layed out in a specific way to work with the engine. I've never personally used RPG Maker so I'm not familiar with the exact requirements, sadly if you want to use characters from the Character Generator in RPG Maker you'll have to manually change how they're layed out.
In the future I may be able to make a tool/update the Character Generator to make this process automatic.
Hey Dollarrain, I didn't make the characters, I only made the Character Generator. LimeZu is the one that made the art. Though he's not working on Modern Interiors anymore meaning no new animations will be added anytime soon. Though that could always change in the future. His current focus is Modern Exteriors.
I do not have a Patreon though thanks for asking!
Oh I see what you mean. When you said "A bit off" I thought you were talking about another animation that was already in the Character Generator.
That animation is indeed not in the Character Generator. I was only able to include so many animations to be preview-able due to UI space limitations so I chose the animations I thought were most useful. I also didn't include it because it required another object (The shopping cart) which added another layer of complexity to displaying the animation.
There's currently no way to change the output file path. Characters are always stored at "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\<company name>/<application name>
".
The folder is always easily accessible within the Character Generator. you can find it either through the info tab > "Saved Characters". Or by clicking the "Open File location" button after saving a character.
