--- sidebar_position: 1 --- # Modular Avatar Modular Avatar is a suite of **non-destructive** tools for modularizing your avatars, and for distributing avatar components. With Modular Avatar, adding a new outfit or gimmick to your avatar is as easy as drag-and-drop! Modular Avatar's features are packaged as individual components, which can be added as needed. You can opt-in to just the features you want to use. It can automatically merge outfits onto your avatar, build an animator out of multiple components, and much more. ## Installation The recommended way to install Modular Avatar is using the VRChat Creator Companion.
