📋 About This Mod

Another mod based on kerq's work. This time I used resource textures from his "Wasteland Rad Tan - tan lines for CBBE". The primary goal is to show it's possible to use LooksMenu Overlays for tan lines. Highlights on the most important settings in the BGEM material:

  • []Blending -> multiplicative

    []Base Texture -> grey

    []Base color -> white

In the case of the texture resource, I just had to desaturate it and find appropriate setting for the Base Color Scale.

I think white color is most suitable for this application, it looks closest to the original.

There are 4 overlay options available(refer to screenshots):

  • []WRT - bottom  -> can be used separately

    []WRT - bottom straps  -> should be used with "WRT - bottom"

    []WRT - top  -> can be used separately

  • WRT - top straps  -> should be used with "WRT - top"

The Base Color Scale is adjusted for testing purposes. You can get more/less intense look for the tan lines, by changing this setting in the BGEM materials. You will find the material files inside \Data\Materials\overlays\WRT, use Material Editor to open them. More intense tan lines can be also be achieved by applying the same overlay twice.

The plugin has ESL flag.

Compatibility

The tan lines are made for CBBE. Most likely are compatible with True Wasteland Body, since it's basically a CBBE body with additional sliders.
