Yeahhhh.... after looking at the stuff, it's a mess for modding. Basically you take over a dummynpc, edit it, then the game assigns that NPC to you and loads the next scene. I tried just placing the character in the next scene then rerouting back to the character creation level, but couldn't get it to work properly. Ended up with just a bunch of dummies in the starting scene. Looks like I'll be doing it the hacky way.
