Gorilla Cosmetics for Gorilla Tag — Download & Install Guide

What Is Gorilla Cosmetics?

Gorilla Cosmetics is one of the most widely used visual customization mods in the Gorilla Tag community. In the base game, players can purchase hats and badges using Shiny Rocks, which are accumulated over time or bought with real money. Gorilla Cosmetics expands this system by allowing you to import your own custom materials, hats, badges, and full-body skins completely for free.

With Gorilla Cosmetics, your monke can sport anything from a chrome silver skin texture to a glowing crown or customized sunglasses. The mod works by loading community-created assets (such as .hat and .material files) and applying them to your gorilla character in real-time. It features an in-game interface that integrates directly with your treehouse computer, allowing you to select and preview items dynamically.

What Does Gorilla Cosmetics Add to Gorilla Tag?

Installing Gorilla Cosmetics gives you access to a massive library of community-designed visual assets. Key features include:

• Custom Materials: Apply full-body textures to your gorilla, including animated matrices, golden skins, camouflages, and custom patterns.
• Custom Hats & Badges: Wear community-designed 3D hats and badges that are not available in the official store.
• In-Game Cosmetic Selector: Select and preview your cosmetics from the computer terminal inside the treehouse.
• Client-Side Visibility Options: Choose whether other players running the mod can see your custom items, or keep them local to your view.

Is Gorilla Cosmetics Safe to Use?

Yes, Gorilla Cosmetics is safe to use. It is an open-source visual mod with no malicious scripting.

Because Gorilla Cosmetics is a client-side visual mod, other players cannot see your custom skins unless they also have Gorilla Cosmetics installed on their systems. Since it does not grant gameplay advantages (such as speed boosts, long arms, or flying capabilities), using this mod has a lower ban risk compared to cheat menus. However, Another Axiom’s anti-cheat systems detect all active third-party dll files, so it is still recommended to use this mod in private lobbies or modded lobbies to stay 100% ban-free.
