📋 About This Mod
As of CBBE version 2. 0 rim lighting effect can be toggled off.Once I personally confirm that it works as intended I will take down this mod, since it's obsolete.
CBBE vanilla outfits bodyslide files except removed rim lighting flags. Now you will be free of all visual glitches.
CBBE obviously required. Glitch doesn't occur for vanilla unmodified outfits.
3BA Vanilla Clothes and Armor required for 3BA variant.

[]Prebuilt Meshes contains both 1st person and 3rd person files

]Bodyslide files contain just 3rd person files - 3BA bodyslide does not contain shoes and gauntlets, so you probably want to install both CBBE + 3BA if you use 3BA
