ABOUT:
This mod replaces 'Jak goggles' with glasses for Ellie. Give your game a new experience with this addition. The mod is also compatible with most of the current mods (that don't affect Jak goggles .pak file.).
How to instalL
1) Go inside your "TLOU-MainFolder\build\pc\main" and find the file called "sp-common.psarc" 

2) Unpack the "sp-common.psarc" file by using the "U4 PSARC Tool" which you can find on https://github.com/Ekey/U4.PSARC

2.1) You should copy the oo2core_9_win64.dll from your game folder inside the unpacker files folder:



2.2) The easiest way to unpack the "sp-common.psarc" is to put the unpacker files + oo2core_9_win64.dll inside "TLOU-MainFolder\build\pc\main" folder, where the "sp-common.psarc" is located then use the below cmd prompt:
U4.Unpacker.exe "sp-common.psarc" "./"

"./" stands for "the same folder")


IMPORTANT: All the unpacked files from "sp-common.psarc" must be located in the "TLOU-MainFolder\build\pc\main" like in the screenshot below.
(If you unpack them in a subfolder then you will have just a black screen when loading the game)



3) (OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED) Do a backup of your original .pak files from "TLOU-MainFolder\build\pc\main\actor97" that you're about to replace with the below step!


4) Extract the files (.pak) from the .zip mod that you downloaded and copy/paste them inside TLOU-MainFolder\build\pc\main\actor97

5) Now you can rename the original "sp_common.psarc"
(You can rename it as sp_commonORIG.psarc in order to have a backup of the original file,)

6) Enable 'Jak goggles' for Ellie from the main game menu. Enjoy the mod!
In case you ever want to revert, just rename the .psarc file back to its original name ('sp-common'), so the game can read only from the .psarc file again.
KNOWN ISSUES:
The loaded texture is default, so certain basic texture patterns may be displayed in the glasses.
For unknown reasons currently, modded character textures cause them not to load in the 'skins' & 'model viewer' menus.
If you'll encounter any other issues with the mod, then do let me know about them, so I can eventually look into it.
NOTES:
Modding tools are still in development, so having more complex appearance mods will take longer to implement.
Special thanks to:
Speclizer for his tools,
alphaZomega for his plugins, 
icemesh, daemon1 for their research on the pak format.
