📋 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
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 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.
