To change your character, interact with the Customization tab in the shop. Previously, you could only switch avatars from the main contract board, but this feature has moved. Here’s how to access it:

• Open the shop: Access the store from the main lobby by interacting with the screen labeled "GH//OS.T.OS3", located on the right side of the main contract board.
• Switch to the Customization tab: Look for the icon marked with a hanger and clothes, located near the bottom left corner of the screen.
• Select the body icon: The first tab under Customization is marked with a body icon. Click it to view all available character models.
• Choose your character: Scroll through the 12 available models until you find the one you prefer.
• Save your selection: Click the "Save" option, found near the bottom right corner of the screen, to finalize your choice.

This process involves multiple clicks, so it may take some getting used to. However, you can return to this page anytime to switch to a different avatar if you change your mind.

How to Customize Your Character in Phasmophobia

Beyond changing your character model, you can also customize your avatar’s appearance in the Customization tab of the shop. Here’s how:

• Access the Customization tab: Follow the same steps as above to open the Customization menu.
• Explore available options: By default, you’ll see a limited number of unlocked cosmetics. Complete specific tasks to unlock additional items.
• Apply customizations: Select your desired options, such as clothing or accessories, from the available choices.
• Save your changes: Always click the "Save" button near the bottom right corner to apply your customizations. Failing to save will result in your changes not being equipped to your avatar.

Customizing your character enhances your Phasmophobia experience, making each investigation feel unique. Whether you’re switching models or tweaking details, these steps ensure you look the part before facing the paranormal.
