Sawa-Sensei Bathing Suit

Description

Replaces Sawa-Sensei's outfit with a white bikini.  Supports custom recoloring! (see below).

Note: All screen shots are with DLSS5 (since this is the way I'm playing the game).

Backstory: Sawa-Sensei has challenges with overheating especially as the school's air conditioning is older and doesn't always work very well.  She petitions school leadership to allow a broader range of clothing, including a bathing suit, should that become necessary.  Despite her modesty, Sawa-Sensei opts for the lightest possible attire, a white bikini.  She takes her heat issue seriously, and when some students initially joked about her outfit, she reprimanded them.  She demands respect from students and visitors alike and particularly reacts particularly poorly if she thinks men are coming on to her (as happens with Kaito early in the game).  Over time, Sawa-sensei became used to her bathing suit and now also wears it around town and at home.

Issues & Limitations

- Prerendered cut scenes are not affected

- She has a neck seam visible in some cut scenes - This is due to incompatible textures between her head and the donor body mesh (taken from Kiwami 2) - I tried to eliminate this but the best I could do is disguise it a bit.

- You need version 1. 1+ to avoid her head being missing in scene where she is "injured."
