It'll work out. I had a drive failure myself, been playing around in DAZ and VaM in the meantime, but looking forward to reinstalling TK17 and being pickier about my addons etc. this time.
Hardware is hardware. Even the best stuff shits out on you unexpectedly and at the worst time!

I just found a pointer in memory to the value that used by H5. In fact it was lucky because value don't overwrote in every frame otherwise I need to find and intercept function where I can overwrite overwriting . In case of skin layers definitely it will be harder.

The hardest thing was find sliders' values. While I was looking for them, I also found a place where values of sliders for each frame are stored. This is an interesting find, because in theory it allows to do something like quickly move/scale animations. In general, reverse engineering is a pretty funny thing. While looking for something you can find completely unexpected things. For example, I am currently working on a modification of old strategy, where I lucky discovered a function that bakes (when loading map) static lighting from light sources placed in the map editor. So I intercepted this function and now I call it every frame if the position of some light has changed. That is, I actually added dynamic lighting without using the graphics library.

So far (I've been kinda busy) all I did was analyze the game exe and all the associated dlls for exported functions etc, but I didn't save anything yet (used pestudio on Win10), probably easier to do some of this shit on my linux laptop tbh.

Seems to me like certain integrations are definitely possible - one of the users, JoeNoxwill, has managed to connect morph slider with DoF setting of H5. 

So, it should technically be possible much more ... but definitely it doesnt seem something as an easy task, as it requires good background knowledge, but even more important, maybe potentially right tools to do such actions.

Overall, injecting dlls is beyond my capabilities, for now.  

Interesting, nice job by JoeNoxwill. DLL injection isn't especially hard, depending what you are trying to inject a DLL into of course.
Haven't tried any of this stuff with the game yet tbh. Another thing to add to The List

Is there any way to 'hook' into the in-game GUI? Seems like it should be possible, DirectX8 is it? I'm guessing it should be possible to inject a DLL with the required bits and pieces but this will require a dive into the ASM/disassembly info first. Is there any list of discovered/exposed functionality in terms of Windows/DirecxX API calls?

Are you using separate layers for areola/nipple? I've been experimenting a little with this recently too. No textures from DAZ though so I've been taking them from hi-res images of models (real-life not TK ) with nipples that I like.
