Meisho Doto Soul Container (Uma Musume)

Replaces the Soul Container with Meisho Doto's Halloween chibi from Umamusume: Pretty Derby, animated with her official mini animations.

Features

• On the ground: she falls over and stays lying there, animated (no T-pose).
• When you pick it up: she plays her Halloween reaction once, then settles into her idle animation while she rides next to your shoulder.
• She turns to face your camera, leans back slightly so you can see her face, and blinks.
• She grows with the souls inside, like the original container.
• The Soul Jar is not changed.

Installation

1. Unzip pak50_dir.vpk into Deadlock\game\citadel\addons\, or install it with Deadlock Mod Manager.
2. If you already have a pak50_dir.vpk, rename this one to any free pakNN_dir.vpk number.

Optional: hero fix for Rat King, Calico cat form, Nurse & Werewolf (pak51_dir.vpk)

On most heroes she sits beside the shoulder. On a few heroes the game's carry point puts her in a bad spot, so this optional file moves it:

• Rat King: she was hidden behind his back; now she sits to his right.
• Calico (cat form): she was sunk into the cat; now she stands on the cat's back.
• Nurse: she was pushed into the bag; now she hangs at the end of the bag, where the original soul hangs.
• Werewolf: she was pushed behind him; now she sits beside his shoulder like on other heroes.

This file contains full copies of the Rat King, Calico cat-form, Nurse and Werewolf models (only their carry point is changed), so:

• A skin for one of these heroes that replaces those models will override this fix (or be overridden by it, depending on pak order). Skip it if you use such skins.
• After a Deadlock update that changes those heroes, remove it until it's updated.

Compatibility

• Conflicts with other Soul Container mods: it replaces models/props_gameplay/soul_container/soul_container.vmdl and the carried-soul effects particles/generic/holding_gold_neutral_model.vpcf and holding_gold_neutral_embers.vpcf.
• Made for the October 2026 Deadlock update.

Known limitations

• The Halloween reaction plays on the first pickup only; a later pickup in the same life goes straight to the idle animation (the game keeps the carried effect alive).
