Material EYEBROWS - Material Instance Edit - BOTH V and NPC

These are two Material Instance edits I originally created for my Beautiful Eyebrows mod, which I’ve now updated to CCXL.

I chose to separate these files into a new mod page because each new CCXL eyebrow slot uses its own unique material instance file. This way, these edits won’t affect CCXL eyebrows, and it no longer made sense to keep them on a CCXL mod page.

This simply replaces the default.mi and gradient.mi files for all in-game eyebrows that use that material instance. That includes all basegame eyebrows for male and female V, as well as some NPC eyebrows. Mostly minor NPCs, but a few major ones are also affected.

No worries, it's just a light tweak, so you won’t end up with potatoes instead of eyebrows! You can use it without concern.

It makes the secondary diffuse alpha a bit more pronounced, what makes the eyebrows looks fuller/darker.

It also makes the gradiant colors less flashy than basegame.

2 options are pickable. You cannot use both at the same time, its one or the other.

  • []If you already own the older version, you don't need to download this one, its the exact same files. I just change the file's name to definitly separate it from Beautiful Eyebrows.[/]
