📋 About This Mod

This mods adds a layer of random noise and some touchups to the body normal maps.

Now with a "lite" 2K version.

All humanoid bodies get their normal maps from the Character/Generic/Human set.

This mod doesn't affect any individual head maps. It doesn't affect normal maps for the Blighted state. It should be safe to use with custom complexions, as these only affect heads. I recommend to use it together with my Skin Detail Normal Tweaks.

The mod can create visual artifacts in the joint areas, especially when used with custom complexions. Bodies can look grainy on lower performance settings - it likely has to do with the way the game engine rescales textures as it needs.

This mod adds detail to quite many textures, which results in an increased file size for ~20 normal maps. Version 1. 1 replaces .png files with BC5 .dds files, which helps reduce the overall mod file size.

NOT compatible with nude body mesh edits.

Known issues (ver. 1. 0+):

- graphical artifacts in the CC on the Femme Muscular and Femme Average characters' backs, that stand out quite strongly with the default purple CC light. I haven't been able to reproduce them on the map;

- occasional unexpected sheen effect when rotating characters in CC under sharp angles.
