In the world of Custom Order Maid 3D2 (COM3D2), presets are the lifeblood of character customization. Whether you are looking to recreate an iconic anime character or simply want a professionally designed base for your empire of maids, understanding how to use and manage .preset files is essential. What is a COM3D2 Preset?
The preset system in COM3D2 is powerful enough to become your most-used feature—if you can tolerate its clunky UI and fragility. For the casual player who just wants to save a favorite maid, it’s perfectly fine. For the power user with 500+ presets and 100 mods, you’ll need external tools and patience.

Technical artistry:
Behind pretty screenshots are details: texture mapping, normal maps, shader tweaks, bone weight fixes. Great presets hide technical skill in seamless visuals.
The Good:
Saving a preset is straightforward. In the character editor, click “Save Preset,” name it, and it’s stored in GameData/Save/Preset/. Loading is just as simple. The game auto-generates thumbnail previews, which helps when you have 200+ presets.
Unlike save files for traditional RPGs, a COM3D2 preset is a lightweight configuration file (usually .preset, .menu, or .png) that stores vector data. It does not contain the 3D models themselves; rather, it tells the game how to assemble the existing assets.
