📋 About This Mod
This is a global fix for CHAR_BASE_AlphaTest_2S shader, which is commonly used in plenty of clothing mods. I fixed its nodes and now it shows level of blood and dirt correctly.
I used Astarion's Gear as an example.
Installation:

✅ Pros
- Widely downloaded (72k) and endorsed (383) — clearly a fix many players needed

- Lightweight utility that doesn't alter gameplay or visuals beyond the intended correction
⚠️ Cons

- May conflict with other shader overhauls or mods that modify the same shader
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who use clothing mods and notice blood or dirt not displaying correctly on them. Skip if you don't use such mods or if you're fine with the visual glitch.
