2. The Russian Community (PlayBnS / Forum)
Never underestimate the Russian modding scene. Sites like PlayBnS.ru have archives stretching back nearly a decade. You will need to use Google Translate, but the variety of unique "K-pop" idol presets and dark fantasy looks is unmatched.
What Exactly is a Blade and Soul Preset?
Simply put, a preset is a saved file (typically with a .jpg or .bns extension) that contains all the numerical data of your character's appearance.
