The game's accessories are fully scalable, rotatable, and arrangeable, allowing ToT to construct a mecha cocoon around a character model. ToT's accomplishment is impressive, using only a minimal amount of mods. The user jailbroke Koikatsu Party to remove its accessories limit and tweaked the bone structure of the model, "but still claims that the parts used are all genuine Koikatsu products plus additional packs." The result is a series of screenshots showcasing the mecha construction... with the clipping and artifacting characteristic of a game being pushed to its limits.

In The News:
There are, at times, feats which show the ingenuity and resourcefulness of mankind, like the invention of the wheel, or the discovery of penicillin. Joining these accomplishments today is Twitter user ToT who, spitting in the face of financial limitations, has turned a game built to create, pose, and have relations with cute anime "waifus" into their own mecha factory.
Koikatsu Party (or just Koikatsu! in Japanese) is, from what I can tell, a game that mostly centres around bringing 'your waifu to laifu' (the Steam page's words, not mine), dressing them up, and then having raunchy sex with them. Okay—that's a little unfair. The game has plenty of wholesome options too, such as taking your digital dream girl out on dates, or posing them in a shockingly comprehensive studio.
The latter is part of what makes ToT's masterwork possible—you're essentially working with bones in the same way that an animator might. Accessories also appear to be fully scalable, rotatable, and arrangeable, which is how ToT has constructed their mecha cocoon around a poor innocent japanese lady, who was probably just looking forward to a nice evening of Karaoke and chill.
The most impressive thing here, however, is how little in the way of mods ToT claims to have used. While they've jailbroke Koikatsu Party to remove its accessories limit—and tweaked the bones of the model, somewhat—ToT claims that "the parts themselves are all genuine Koikatsu products plus additional packs."
Still, what an accomplishment. Zooming in on those screenshots, it really does seem like ToT has been smushing a bunch of disparate pieces together—you can see the clipping and artifacting of a smutty game being pressed to its limits. I'm reminded of Spore's character creator—or the impossible Frankenstein's cobbles from the housing community of Elder Scrolls Online . Just without, uh, being able to take your creations to a love hotel afterwards.
