📋 About This Mod
ATTENTION: My mod isn\'t compatible with Basvanbeu MuscleTextureChanger and will not be compatible. I don\'t want to touch the functionality of the mod so I will not do a package which replaces all the different normalmaps with my map. ABOUT NUDITY: This is NOT a nude body replacer, but you can use it in ADDITION with a nude body replacer (without quality loss). My mod is only a NORMAL MAP (please click NORMAL MAP). So my mod doesn\'t contain any nudity, just an abstract normal map. Hello! This is my attempt to create a believable overall trained body. I achieved this by merging Tigersan\'s FemaleMuscleMod (v1_5 Hardcore/I also made it compatible with UNP/CBBE) with navetsea\'s CBBESkinTextureV2V3PlusThepalAndUNPCompatible mod. Plus different versions for standard textures and navetsea textures. This is just a texture replacer for the femalebody_1_msn.dds. This mod will not change the 3dModel/Mesh. The differences between the Standard and Navetsea variations are only the neck and hand seams, so my texture will fit to the corresponding texture set. ATTENTION: If you want to use my mod with UNP/UNPB/UNPC/CBBE/CBBE-Bodyslide/ADEC you must have their meshes and skintextures already installed. This means that UNP/CBBE BODYMODS HAVE TO BE ALREADY INSTALLED AS WELL AS A TEXTURESET (standard or navetsea/or a custom race). They are a REQUIREMENT for my UNP/CBBE FILES. UNP files are compatible with UNPB/UNPC. And please BACKUP your files! No kidding, BACKUP your original femalebody_1_msn.dss you will need to restore your backup in order to uninstall my mod. I have done several packages which are ready to install with NexusModManager: (You only need one package) NoCustomRace means that my texture will be applied to all vanilla races (except Argonians and Khajiit). Depending on which texture set (standard=comes with the original mod (UNP: Dimon99\'s texture set/CBBE: Caliente\'s texture set) or navetsea\'s texture set(CBBE/UNP)) AND bodyshape you are using you can choose the corresponding file (ADEC only Standardtextures support). If you\'re using XCE please choose the optional file \"for VanillaBodyshape XCE compatible\" AGAIN please BACKUP your files! Yeah, do it! There are also packages for the most popular CustomRaces (Ashen/EpicElves/Lunari/TheNoiral/Temptress). You should BACKUP your files! But for sure you have already done a backup. (You only need ONE package) If you have experience in modding and/or folder structure you can use the optional files. Skyrim Mods Series-#148 s6rIy9Q2hxU Thanks to Saiodin Skyrim Mod Showcase: oufyyepzAAo Thanks to mattyb89 UNINSTALLl: Unistall it with ModManager or just delete my file. Please read further! !!!ATTENTION: There is a problem with ModManager unistallation.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the body mod installed first (like UNP or CBBE) so the normal maps have something to replace.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily install and uninstall without messing up your Data folder.
- If you're using ENB, check that your ENB settings don't override normal maps—you might need to tweak the enblocal.ini.
