Missing Alternate Attires

[Chainsaw Gnarly]

Not sure what happened but I somehow lost all of my alternate attires. Like the option isn't even there. All of the wrestlers I installed are still there and fine, just no alternate attires. Very bizarre. Anyone had this happen or know of a fix?

Hi,

If you have a mods folder in your main 2k19 folder, the alternate attire data will be written into  the misc01-start_p30.pac file located in this folder location

WWE2K19\mods\Universal Alternate Attire Unlock\pac\root.

Have you deleted or moved the file from this location?

Unfortunately I was fixing an arena and it's possible I deleted the file. Should I just do a fresh install?

look in your recycle bin, look in a backup, find and put that file back, rebuild chunk file and it should restore them. You have to have it backed up somewhere.

Further to the post above, if you used the Data Editor attire unlocker, go to your Data Editor folder and browse to the backup files location 

Data Editor 2k19\Backups\WWE 2k19\mods\Universal Alternate Attire Unlock\pac\root.

You should see a few backups of the misc01_start_p30.pac file with a date and time stamp in this format misc01_start_p30.pac.2021_4_28_16_12_48

Rename the most recent as misc01_start_p30.pac and place in the WWE2K19\mods\Universal Alternate Attire Unlock\pac\root, then launch your game.

This file doesn't contain any arena data . The misc01_start.pac contains arena data.

Thanks for the clarity on that. I've been trying to fix a broken arena but everytime I fix one thing I break another lol. I deleted the file because someone told me it was possible I had a duplicate. I will look into what you said and get back to you. Do I clear and regenerate the chunk or just regenerate?

You regenerate only.

The duplicate will have been referring to the misc01_start.pac which is the only misc01 file with arena data. 
The alternate attire data is read from the misc01_start_p30.pac.
