ROM Hack Fire Emblem Fates: Felicia and Jakob Join Order Switch

I suppose that would have been nice when I went to start my secondary female save but meh, still kinda cool. I just really like Felicia as my maid more. :/ =D
I don't suppose there's any way to switch felicia and jakob's special skills around? Having felicia give -2 damage to fem allies instead of dudes would make a lot more sense considering she's gay as heck for me.
Also, some of the DLC intro cinematics still show Jakob instead of felicia -- I dunno if it's just that these DLCs always have Jakob speaking regardless of character, but I assume it just didn't get swapped.
I may be missing something trivial, but I cannot make this patch work fully. I am using a US N3DS with Luma 7.1 and B9S and I have tried it on both FEF: Conquest EUR and FEF: Special Edition EUR with the same results: Felicia is indeed used as a playable character along female Corrin, but all of Felicia's interactions are actually Jakob's. For example, on chapters 3 and 4, where Gunter and Felicia introduce themselves and provide advice, it is Jakob who is talking, even though Felicia is on the map (and plays just fine.)
I applied the patch using Luma's LayaredFS and already tried replacing @E for @U in the folder structure but the issue persists.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Hi. Sorry if this is a very dumb question (I'm very new to this hacking stuff), but is there a possible tutorial on how to install this patch? It has plenty of files that I don't want to mess with/ruin. If anyone could please help, I'd really appreciate it. I'm currently playing the Gay Fates hack through Luma.
P.S.
If anyone knows how to add Flora, that be helpful as well since I have the patch to that also, but it's "Felicia-Jakob" files are a little different from it's original patch release.

If you read the first post it says the hack is installed the same way as the Gay Fates hack. :/ If you know how to install that through Luma, you know how to install this. And, iirc, there's a different thread for getting Flora.
Update: I finally found out how to do it yesterday (I know, it was VERY simple the whole time. Sorry it took me so long to figure that out. -_-) However, something went wrong when I started up the game.
-When I started up Revelation, I got Felicia's dialogue and support/cut scene art, but the sprite/unit I got for the chapter itself was Jakob. I then went to Birthright (which is the physical cartridge I have. Conquest and Revelation are DLC add-ons), and the same thing happened: Felicia’s dialogue and support/cut scene art, but Jakob’s in game as the unit. I copied all the files from the @E folders (M, B, and C) and put them in my SD card’s @E folders.
-As for the files in the “depos” folder that I found in the “GameData” folder, I didn’t use those.
-As for the scripts folder, I just put inside the romfs folder where the GameData and m folders are on my SD card. Hope I put them in the right spot.
I’m trying to figure out what went wrong.
Remove everything you used for the Felicia/Jakob switch from your SD card. When you are giving files in a download for a hack like his, you HAVE to make use of all of them otherwise the hack will not work correctly.
1. Redownload the hack and extract it.
2. Move all 3 folders (GameData (INCLUDING THE DISPOS FOLDER), m, and scripts) to your romfs folder.
3. Start a new game.
Just note: if you wish to use this hack with the DLC, use the special edition (find it in .cia form and install it) because you cannot modify the DLC paths this way with Luma hacks.
It worked! Thank you so much for helping! I really appreciate it! Thanks again!
Quick question: If I were to install this hack would I be able to start a game from the branch of fates option on the main menu or would I have to start a new game from chapter 1 for it to take effect.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
