📋 About This Mod
This mod is included in the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch. If you have that, you don't need this. The CBBE fix is now included with "CBBE Vanilla Outfits" file since version 1. 3. The only reason you would need this now is if you don't have the Unofficial Patch for some reason.
This was driving me nuts! The female model of the heavy right leather armor points to a metal material instead of the proper leather one. This fixes that. No esp, no new textures, just a single tweak of the mesh in NIfskope. Vanilla and CBBE versions available. Should work with all retexture mods that don't change the mesh.
Feel free to include this in any bugfix compilations.
Updated to 1. 1 because I forgot to add NMM/BAIN compatibility (oops).
