📋 About This Mod
Lae'zel's face spots have a noticeable ridge to them and it seems like it has been granted exclusively to her becaue she's the main character
in everyone's story, now YOU can be the side main character in her your own story as well
Wait - we've been here before, what's the difference?
*Spoilers in the last image
The change is subtle in screenshots, in gameplay however the light reacts far better than the old version.
The mod has been divided into two parts: This part which tackles vanilla files, and Githyanki Ridged Spots (Body and Face) CUSTOM which tackles more variations made by mods, I made this for the sake of organization and easier troubleshooting.
Don't want Loose Files? Want to have glowing tattoos? With the help of Kaz, this mod has now a VT Edition to be used with Kaz Virtual Tav!
This mod modifies both Masc and Fem Githyanki body textures and all vanilla head presets to have ridges to them, making the spots appear more prominent like Lae'zel's vanilla face ridges. They area direct replica of Lae'zel's face ridges with slight artistic liberty, they react to light accordingly and have evident texture feel to them.
The spot ridges are made based off HD Githyanki Body Spot Textures, they should work hand-in-hand basically.
In order to lessen the ridges mismatching for Githyanki NPCs, I provided files that give correct ridges to certain NPCs that you hold conversations with.
