📋 About This Mod

Allows you to have custom male body, like the mod allows you to have custom female.

I have made an all in one patcher to make it as easy or complex as you want.

Just FYI, I don't really play with naked characters so I can't help you too much with your custom "appendages", sorry.

Addons:

Brows - Adds all female brows to males

Eyes - Fixes heterochromia, allows racial eye colors (elf eyes on human, etc.)

Lashes - Adds no-lash eyes, and all female lashes in scars and facial hair. So you can choose what lashes you want like female version.

If you don't understand look at pictures.

Ultimate Headparts Addon:

Update for Sam light texture addon:

Fixes two normal maps.

Better colormatch so it will look good with darker skintones.

Add your own face textures! So many empty slots! See included cor-facepart-naming.txt

3 female normal maps for Fair Skin complexion.

4 new male skins! 2 diffuse, 2 normals.

Nude: Better Males (Favored Soul's Body)

Underwear: Type 1 (Briefs)

Texture is Tempered Skins Clean, Hairless, Smooth.

Body support for all types. SOS, SOS-light, SAM-light, etc.

Head support for Tempered Skins, Sam Light, DB_Vanilla_SOS Textures, Vitruvia

Custom heads I made. Mashups of COR faces, and also tahril's faces improved for Witcher 3.

3 Complexions + 6 Face Parts.

My recommendation:

SAM high poly + Sam Light is the best quality.

Also consider my other COTR mod:

Charmers of the Reach (CotR) - Racemenu Warpaints Tattoos Patch

How to patch neck seam?

I have patched neck seams for DB_Vanilla_SOS and Tempered Skins. Vitruvia users do not need to patch head textures.

If you use another Male body texture you will need to patch yourself, or you can ask me. These are instructions for patching yourself.

  • []Use Caliente's Texture Blender

    []or use Photoshop and Intel Texture Works tool.

    I save textures with BC7 compression, I am not sure if Texture Blender can understand that. If it cannot, convert DDS BC7 -> DDS uncompressed, then use Texture Blender. DO NOT save your textures as BC1 or BC3 ( also called DXT1 or DXT5 ). This will make them pixelated and ugly.

    Permissions:

    This is only a small patch. You can do whatever you want with this as long as it doesn't violate original modders' (CotR & Tempered Skins) work.

    traa108 - textures (tempered skins)

    ratrace - meshes (better males)
