ROM Hack [Save Hack] Style Savvy: Fashion Forward - All Style Savvy series characters

[RocketRobz]

NOTE:
This save hack is outdated. Please use Savvy Manager to add those characters as extra contacts.
Some missing characters have been added, and some of the character's outfits (such as Eunice and Madeira) have been corrected.

Introducing a new savvy save hack for Style Savvy: Fashion Forward (aka New Style Boutique 2 (EUR), and Girls Mode 3 (JAP))!
This brings every character (excluding brand reps and shop customers) from Style Savvy (1st entry), Style Savvy: Trendsetters (2nd entry), and Style Savvy: Styling Star (4th entry), into Fashion Forward (3rd entry).
This save hack was made with the main reason of Styling Star sadly lacking the AR Photos feature that Trendsetters and Fashion Forward had.
With this, you can now take AR Photos with the Styling Star characters, alongside in-game photos!

Spoiler: Screenshots

Requirements

• A USA/EUR save file of Style Savvy: Fashion Forward/New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward.
  If it's on an actual 3DS console, and not from Citra (3DS emulator), you can use Checkpoint to backup your save file.
• A hex-editor to apply the patches to "savedata.dat". (HxD is recommended.)

NOTE: If you downloaded any Caprice Chalet room(s), be sure to make a copy your original save file backup, as this save hack will overwrite the character(s) that came with the room(s).

FAQs

Q: What's the differences between "characterpatch.bin" or "characterpatch (no bag).bin"?
A: The only difference with "characterpatch (no bag).bin", is that Felicity and Brienne are not holding a bag, so their pose selections are not limited (both in-game? and AR Photos).

Q: Why is Eunice wearing a lively outfit?
A: At one point in the first Style Savvy, the player is able to give Eunice a new outfit that goes with her glasses (though she still wears the maid outfit in Dominic's Mansion).
That's why I decided to give Eunice a lively outfit, rather than a maid's outfit.

Q: Why is Dominic only in one pose while doing a photo shoot (in-game)?
A: The game thinks he is a female character, so some poses are probably not loaded.

hey, i tried searching for those hex values and they didnt come up until i used go to and removed the x. i replaced those lines with all the lines from the bin files but it just made my game run at 163% speed

What am I doing wrong?

First time I've heard of that.

Can you try again? Hopefully I made the steps more elaborate.

I think my issue was citra or the 3ds file i used being buggy. i've redownloaded both, and now the game won't open at all, and no other games will open either. its the only rom i could find too. oh well, guess i'll have to wait and use this when i get a legit copy lol. thanks for clarifying the steps though!

This works with any copy of the game. Just open Savvy Manager (a 3DS homebrew app which you can run on either console or Citra), and select Fashion Forward / NSB2 / GM3, then select "Characters", and press START to add in the characters.

1. Did you do the same process for the US copy?
2. If you cannot edit the save data in Styling Star, then you need to have the game create it first, in order for Savvy Manager to find it.

I suggest waiting for the next version of Savvy Manager to be out, so that you can modify the save data of the games from other regions, if you don't have the matching one for your console, as well as improved appearances of some of the characters.

Please read the note on the top of the first post.

What about the first one? (For the 3DS). Been looking all over for a save editor for that and this doesn't provide that sadly..

There is unfortunately no save editor for the first one.
Savvy Manager is planned to support the first game, but progress has hit a roadblock.
