Optional Cosmetic Transformations

Possible Help?
I have been playing AoW4 but I agree with mostly everyone that the transformations are over-the-top and, with the current gameplay arc, leads every race with a keeper into an amalgamation of all the minor transformations.

However, simply removing all the visuals kinda defeats the purpose. This mod is a tremendous step in the right direction (giving players control over how their race looks) but feels like a rough patch to a neat concept executed poorly (have some subtlety, paradox). I've been trying to play with the modding tools to tweak transformations to make them do less per transformation (Leafskin only effects skin and less so, Scion of Flame doesn't effect their eyes, etc.)

However, opening up the transformation files in the modding tools, the only thing I seem able to do is modify certain values. I spent some time opening up all the different transformations and even dug into your mod to try and find the "differences" between the modded transformation files and the unmodded, no such luck.

Since you have succeeded where I have failed, I was wondering if you could describe or discuss how you managed to adjust or remove the visuals for the transformations.

I have said this before and i will likely have to repeat it but i tried to do this mod in a less ugly way but after wasting a whole day on trigger event gui without result i gave up and said f it im making copys of all the transform spells and removing the cosmatic modularity tag. By the way that's how i did it i removed the modularity tag.

Indeed, I appreciate your response, should help point me in the right direction. Thanks for your effort on the day in question, just having the copies allows many to enjoy their games without playing as monstrous amorphous blobs of magic.
