📋 About This Mod

Overview

This mod page will host various cubemap mesh patches from Xavbio's Ancient Nord, Glass, Imperial (for the Heavy set), Iron, Steel (for the Blades set), Orcish, Unique (for the Savior's Hide), and Faction Armors and Weapons Retextures (for Wolf) as I'd like to consolidate them all in one place rather than spread them out across multiple mod pages, and in light of Xavbio's potential plans to make more cubemap add-ons with his retexture updates.

Regarding the NSFW marking:

As of 2. 3, I'm marking this mod as NSFW as a precaution given the increasing amount of skimpy/topless mods that are now covered under this patch hub's umbrella.

Many of these patches are contained in the FOMOD's "Revealing Mod Patches" page. You are not forced to use these if the idea of boobs and schlongs catching some fresh air in your LO bothers you.

State of the Mod:

Nothing to report!

HIMBO 5. 4. 2+

This section includes patches that forward cubemap add-on mesh settings to any updated vanilla body armor meshes from HIMBO 5. 4. 2+.

You must install the HIMBO patch from Xavbio's respective FOMODs to get coverage on the other vanilla pieces unaffected by HIMBO's recent updates. The only exceptions so far are Ancient Nord and Imperial Retexture as their FOMODs do not have any BodySlide patched meshes; these have full coverage in that case.

Load my patched meshes after Xavbio's mods for the updated meshes to appear in BodySlide. I've included a rough before/after comparison for the plain Iron and Glass armor meshes in the image gallery.

These files will be removed from the FOMOD if and whenever Xavbio updates the HIMBO patches in his FOMODs.

Updated 3BA BodySlide meshes for CBBE 3BA Vanilla Outfits Redone can be found in its FOMOD; you don't need to install them separately from Xavbio's respective mods in that case. Otherwise, make sure Vanilla Outfits Redone wins any conflicts against Xavbio's mods.

CC Fearsome Fists

Forwards cubemap add-on mesh settings to HIMBO's BodySlides for FF's Glass, Iron, and Orcish Gauntlets. This includes a few hotfixes for the Glass Gauntlets, including re-routing their texture paths to vanilla (read: your LO's) Glass Armor textures rather than the CC's own copy of the vanilla textures and fixing the female Glass Gauntlets' GlassGauntlets_1st part pointing to glass curiass.dds instead of ore_gold_e.dds for its Environment Map texture.

CC Iron Plate

Forwards Iron Armors and Weapons Rextexture's cubemap add-on mesh settings to HIMBO's BodySlides for AE's Iron Plate set.

3BA BodySlide mesh patches for the body armor can be found in CBBE 3BA Vanilla Outfits Redone, while the other parts are already included in Iron Retexture's FOMOD.

CC Orcish Plate/Scaled[/
