Barely Fits - Vanilla Butterfly Set - EBB-Physics

"It fits... by lacing up!"

Having heard that armor could be crafted from insects gathered at the Botanical Research Center, I visited the Smithy.

Upon receiving the order, Master grunted, "More bugs, huh? Insect materials have zero flexibility. Not sure how much they can cover of your 'extra' parts... but I'll see what I can do."

Feeling a lingering sense of doubt from his words, I waited for the armor to be finished.

The completed gear finally arrived on the counter. "Good news, Hunter. It worked out perfectly!" Master boasted proudly. "Look, these shells don't stretch, but they can be bent. So, I bent them to follow the contours of your body, and laced up the remaining gaps to close it. I had to use double the amount of eyelets and laces, so I cut down on the fabric parts to balance it out. A fair trade, wouldn't you say?"

I immediately tried it on. The fabric parts on the greaves were not just "reduced"—they just weren't there. Since that section would be hidden beneath the waist armor, so I really don't care. Still, watching Master's strict, uncompromising budget management, I couldn't help but feel he could have thrown in a few extra eyelets and laces for free.

It fits... by lacing up!

ABOUT THE MOD

This is a lore-friendly conversion of the Vanilla Butterfly Set to the EBB (Extra Buff Body) shape.

My goal is to maintain the vanilla aesthetics while providing the dynamic physics that EBB users love.

I haven't used any external visual assets - the pure vanilla look, now with full EBB physics merged.

User screenshots are more than welcome!

I’d love to see how your hunters fit into this tight armor.

Feel free to share your best shots!
