📋 About This Mod

After all this time I have finally added more options to choose from!

Now you will have the option to choose from:

Normal/Slim/Flat shadows for breasts to better support characters with smaller breasts!

Choose from Shaved or 4 new pubic hair options!

Still includes both Smooth and Muscular Normal Maps too!

Each option will show an image of what changes in the fomod!

One of the new pubic hair options shown below! (Small Landing Strip)

Even though there are plenty of amazing skin textures available, I just felt the want to try to create something myself that I really liked, after combining 4/5 skin textures together I believe I've finally achieved what I want and wanted to share, oh and there's a fomod to choose between smooth or muscular normal maps :)

If you want it to look right make sure to overwrite it over any other skin texture :p

Have decided to only go with 4k skin from now on, feel free to upscale or downscale to whatever size you like :)

Which mods are being used for which parts?

Well, the list of mods used to create this skin are the following:

~ Diamond Skin ~

As usual with most of my mods I've made have had normal maps from this skin, so for the head normal maps again those are where this skin mostly comes into play, I just find them to be the best in my opinion so it was a no brainer to use them, I have also combined a fair amount of the specular maps too from here as well as I really like them too :D

~ Reverie Skin ~

So what I've added from this skin is, the other parts of the specular maps I combined with the Diamond Skin ones, the nipple normal maps and the leg texture itself minus the knee texture.

~ Binibini Skin ~

This one might have the most parts of it added in to this skin as I really like it so be sure to check that one out too if you haven't!

So, for this I have blended the neck diffuse together to try to eliminate as much of the neck seam as I could, also have used the feet textures too along with part of the pubic area and arms too, for the muscular version of the normal maps I have borrowed the stomach and feet normals and blended the leg and arm parts with the smooth version of the diamond skin body to create a slightly less toned body around those parts while still showing the muscle ^-^

~ The Pure ~

The pure had one very special part that I liked that I included which is the nose skin texture, for some reason the nose textures just stood out to me the most out of any texture I've
