📋 About This Mod

This effect works by putting several meshes on top of the fur areas with a variety of size and transparency to create the illusion of fur.

So naturally these armors have a higher triangle count over the vanilla ones but nothing too crazy.

The default body shapes are 3BBB for female and vanilla for male(with HIMBO bodyslides as an optional download). Naturally, permissions are open for anyone to convert these to other body shapes and reupload it to nexus.

Not all armors are covered but the rest will be gradually added.
