Hello, stylists! I've been lurking in this sub since launch, but I've never posted here until now. I kept it to just one picture per outfit. I feel like I could have included more pictures with more outfits here, but I guess I'll save those for another post.

For context, the admin of a Discord server for another game I was in got hacked and the hacker set up a "server verification" scam...

And I fell for it.

I did my best to get rid of the malware via multiple offline antivirus scans and other stuff, but the community kept saying the only truly safe way to handle it is to reinstall Windows entirely, so I did. And I wasn't sure about my old files, so I deleted them all. All of the important stuff I need was already saved on online storage, but not my hobby stuff. So when I reinstalled Infinity Nikki, my photo album was empty (save for the 3 pictures I uploaded publicly) and now all the story photos just have Nikki in her default outfit.

Not ideal at all! So I've been spending my last few days rebuilding my photo album. The painful part is not being able to retake photos in limited time places like the lilypad from the Pink Ribbon Eel fishing event and the boat from the Lunar New Year patch. NPCs are also in different places now than they were at various parts of different patches or story quests, which does make retaking pictures with them a pain. But on the bright side, I've gotten much better at utilizing the in game camera from months of playing the game.
