Character defaulting into Wilson instead of modded character

[Jack The Lumber]

So, after some complications the game finally loaded with my character mod. Unfortunaly, after selecting the mod character it instead became fully Wilson, with his base stats and all. Can I get a hand in here?

Did you check the logs?

How do you check them? I couldn't get a clear picture of what's wrong cause it did not crash.

The only thing I can think of to check is to see if your mod's character prefab is actually loading in, other than that I don't think the game normally defaults a character like that unless you messed up in a weird way, like replacing Wilson's prefab instead of making your own.

Which guide got you started on your character mod?

I started out with Dragon Leo Wolf's Extended Character Sample mod.

If you want you, I can send what I put on the prefab files.

Sure, that works.

I don't see anything that jumps out at me as wrong, but if anything would be setting you to Wilson it would be in junkboy_none.lua, that's where your character's textures are handled, sorry I can't help more.

Well, this is gonna be tough...
