Hey, I just found out about the tons of mods and improvements everyone has done to to final fantasy vii, which are all sweet.
I started messing with my copy of ff7 about two weeks ago and go to the point of modding the characters with the PRP mod, but noticed the error
you get when you first meet Aeris saying her left hand is can't be loaded.
I apologize if this has already been solved but since I couldn't find the fix searching the forums I figured I'd post how to fix this problem since it took me a week to figure it out myself.
FIRST, if you plan on fixing this problem, you need two things:
1. Notepad
2. Highwind (the LGP extractor. If you need it, just google it or go to
http://www.finalfantasy7pc.com/modsThe problem lies with the Aeris HRC file
First extract the char.lgp to whatever folder you want.
second find the file cahc.hrc (this is the skeleton file for Aeris), and open it in notepad.
You should see this:

The line that's bolded and red and bigger is wrong, to fix the problem just change the 2 to a 1 and done. Problem fixed.
Save the file and create your new working lgp file. Of course make a back up before you overwrite the old char.lgp in case
it doesn't work for what ever reason. I did this myself after hours and hours of troubleshooting and just tested it and it works perfectly.
Hopefully this helps some people since I found a few posts mentioning this problem but not fix for it.
Let me know if you have any questions, I'm new to this but learned a ton from all of the contributors on this forum.
