About the future of Ashleon mod.

In the comments there was a discussion about the future of the Ashleon mod. I decided to publish it as a separate topic. I think everyone will be interested.

As you probably know, I have the Ashleon mod, which allows you to play the single player campaign as Ashley. The game replaces Leon with the model Ashley (except for her voice) and you begin your journey.

How it works: - The elegance of Ashleon is that Ashleon gets access to all of Ashley's outfits at once. For any mods. New ones, old ones, and even to those that are just about to be made. For Ashleon, I specify the paths to the files of the installed Ashley mod, and the game uses them in the Ashleon mod. Essentially, Eschleon has only one file of its own - the head. He takes everything else from Ashley. In order for Ashleon and Ashley to dress in different outfits, two different mods are needed. In other words, a “file archive” must be created specifically for Ashleon. Thus, Ashleon becomes a full-fledged character, like Leon, Ashley and Ada.

What kind of Ashleon development do I see:

Option-1: - Ashleon remains the same and Ashleon and Ashley run around dressed as twin sisters.

Option-2: - Ashleon becomes a full-fledged character. It may not even be Ashleon, but a completely different character. For example Claire, Jill or someone else. This character will have his own outfits and will not be dependent on Ashley in any way. Overall I like the idea of creating my own female character. But everything is spoiled by Leon’s male voice. I have no experience working with sound and this is a very difficult task. Because there is a lot of work.

I think I'll do Option-1 first, and then gradually move on to the 2. Ada and Ashley are already set up, and I hope Ashleon will join them soon. And the release of each mod will be for three characters at once.
