📋 About This Mod
UPDATE: Released a new version with some further improvements: The bust is now a bit more supported-looking, the bottom of the jacket is moved up for some more midriff, and some weird normal map oddities with the butt were fixed (they were caused by changes in the Tangent Space in the mesh). Also fixed a gap seam between the torso and the arms, not sure if it\'s in the original but it cropped up probably when modifying the other parts. Fallout 3 Bared-Midriff Leather Armor Replacer OVERVIEW: This mod does exactly what its title says: It replaces the meshes of the Leather armor for females with versions that have bared midriffs. It is based on a pervious modification I did to the leather armor in which I increased the bust size to match that of the vanilla body, made the butt a bit more shapeley, and corrected shape issues with the boots where the ridge of the foot was not properly shaped for a raised-heel boot. The waistline is also pulled down a smidge for extra tummy. INSTALLATION: Drag \'n drop the Meshes folder into your Fallout 3\\Data folder. This mod does not require any ESP plugins, and is compatible with any leather texture replacer and any female body texture based on the Vanilla mesh. I\'ve been told that this will also work with the BABE bod textures. CAVEATS: It is strongly recommended to have a female body texture that is fully nude or otherwise has the integrated underwear that looks like blue burlap removed. If you have one that still has the undies part (like the Vanilla texture), you will see it sticking out. I recommend AleksMarch\'s (available here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1186) USAGE: You may use this as you wish, so long as some credit to me for the modification to the vanilla mesh is given.
