📋 About This Mod
What does this mod do?
This mod is a simple edit that fixes the visual bug that shows up as a weird dark line at the right mouth corner of all characters.I saw that the smooth version of Less Wrinkled Expression by commanderstrawberry removed the artefact, so with a bit of testing I found that the real issue lays within the MSKA rather than the wrinkle maps.
There are three versions:
-
[]Default: Removes the artefact through smoothing the MSKA, although it may appear in some instances
[
]Ultra: Removes a portion of mouth area of the MSKA, eliminating any possible appearances of the artefact that may appear in Default.[]Overkill: Completely removes the left part of the MSKA, just to be safe.
NOTE: Removing part of the MSKA means that the wrinkle map will not apply to it either partially or completely.EDIT: Since there has been many complaints of not seeing the difference, Volno very nicely made a new picture to demonstrate the difference, including the changelog:
-
[]circled the bug in both the before and after images, also added some arrows,
[]added a soyjack to appeal to the zoomers,
[]got worried that people would find it too boring so I added in some "Family Guy Funniest Moments" complications and some soap cutting asmr in the corner to hold people's attention.,
[]Added Subway Surfers to keep people engaged,
[]Sold some add space (gotta make a living somehow
