Bikini Bear

Every bear has a 10% chance to spawn rocking a bikini and a hat. Black, brown, panda, polar, sun – no exceptions, no explanations.

The other 90% are regular bears, which is somehow scarier.

Six bikini styles

Pink polka-dot, leopard, tropical hibiscus, navy sailor stripes, classic red, and a little black bikini with gold trim.

Seven hats

Straw boater, sombrero, bucket hat, sun visor, flower crown, party hat, and a top hat for the distinguished. Outfit and hat are each rolled once at spawn and stay with the bear for life.

Wear it yourself

Killing a dressed bear drops 5–10 bikini scraps (configurable). Sew them into swimwear at the crafting grid – every piece comes in all six styles:

• Bikini top – 2 scraps + a color ingredient (shirt slot)
• Bikini bottom – 3 scraps + a color ingredient (trousers slot)
• Swim shorts – 4 scraps + a color ingredient (trousers slot)

The color ingredient picks the style: catmint → pink polka-dot, small raw hide → leopard, pineapple → tropical, woad → sailor stripes, red currant → classic red, charcoal → little black. Mix and match top and bottom styles, wear them under your clothes or as the whole outfit – and for the full beach experience there is a new "bare" underwear option in the character creator.

How it works

• 1 in 10 new bears joins the beach party (configurable). Hats are real geometry, fitted per species and attached through the game's own gear system, so they move with the head.
• Multiplayer friendly: install it on the server and joining players auto-download it. Everyone sees the same outfit on the same bear. Singleplayer works too.
• Small code mod, no Harmony patches. Needs Vintage Story 1.22+ (on older versions it politely disables itself).

Configuration

A config file is written on first run. Every setting is explained inside it, and updates keep your settings.

• Singleplayer: %appdata%\VintagestoryData\ModConfig\bikinibear.json
• Dedicated server: <server data folder>\ModConfig\bikinibear.json

BikiniChancePercent (0–100, default 10), HatEnabled, an on/off switch per species, and a weight per bikini style and per hat, plus ScrapDropsEnabled and ScrapDropMin / ScrapDropMax for the scrap drops. Weights are relative, not percentages: 2 is twice as common as 1, 0 disables one, and they never need to add up to anything. Changes apply on the next world or server start; bears that already exist keep their look.

Compatibility

Patches the bear entity's texture list and client behaviors, so it may clash with other mods that retexture bears. No bear shape files are replaced.

Compatible with the Female Seraph mod: the bikini top ships fitted shapes for all three Female Seraph body types, and the "bare" underwear option works on those models too.
