» compatibility:
- REQUIRES ARCHIVEXL.
- if you are on patch 2. 3 you must also be on latest archivexl
- not compatible with ACU, and will not fix clipping with EKT character creators
» possible issues:
- the original mod by xbaebsae also contains head morphtarget replacement files that address an issue with player ears. this mod does not. if you install this mod and notice issues with ears, you should continue to use the original mod instead
- use this or the original mod by xbae, not both
- this is a file from the game files, i'm just adding it to the player. i cannot modify it or change what it does, and it won't 100% fix all clipping issues
» special thanks and credits:
- zwei, misu, winks, emmjay, vylkodav, for testing
- rev for alerting me to the 2. 3 natural category issue
- xbaebsae for the original fix mod
