📋 About This Mod
No abs for all the player bodies that normally have them!
The .pak version removes the abs for all races + bodies and has the vanilla amounts of body hair.
The Variety Framework version has to be manually installed but offers more personalization!
With the Variety Framework, you can remove the abs PER SUBRACE
AKA: your Male Asmodeus Tiefling CAN have abs, while your Male Mephistopeles Tiefling DOESN'T
(see image 4)
The .pak version
HAS NO REQUIREMENTS!

STEP 5: Copy that folder and paste it in the Data folder.
That's it!
