Ripped, jacked, peeled out of his tree, a fucking anatomy chart or diced to the socks.

Whatever you want to call it, finally you can have a character with a body that you'd expect from a hero.

If you were here during the peak Skyrim days, chances are you've seen my previous mods on the internet.

With over 750K downloads, released in 2012, Sporty Sexy Map was the very first 'fit girl' normal map texture.

It has been has been copied, modified and stolen as well as  included with hundreds of follower mods and now it's back in its improved form.

For Starfield I've completely resculpted the muscle details by hand. To achieve this I created a new high poly mesh and rebaked the normal map.

Completely different than how the original was fabricated and much more reliable and consistent for future updates. The texture itself is 4096 pixels.

Which parts are different

- I mainly focused on the frontal chest area where I wanted more definition. A well defined six-pack and serratus anterior

- The arms, triceps, biceps and and inner elbow also received some slight more details.

- The back area has been improved with moderate muscle definition as well

as better visible shoulder scapula and long back muscle.

This mod in it's current form is pretty definitely within the boundaries of

non-sexy modding. However keep in mind that future releases with custom

body models will probably will feature nudity. I'm eager to work more on

a future body mesh so let me know what you have request or tips.

Also willing to team up with custom body makers for both male and female meshes.

The mod itself is only a few normal maps that needs to be placed in the \Documents\My Games\Starfield\ folder.

Data\Textures\actors\human\naked_body\nakedbodym_normal.dds

Data\Textures\actors\human\faces\chargen\male_default_normal.dds

Data\Textures\actors\human\hands\defaulthandsm_normal.dds

To uninstall the mod, simply remove the files above.

Questions

- It looks flat in some angles!

That's because normal maps do not change the geometry of the body mesh. It's litterally faking the game engine to draw details shadow while keeping the mesh simple. More can be done with higher poly body meshes (also heavier on the GPU)

- This is not realistic at all

Correct, the entire high p

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture mod, you can manually place the files in your Starfield Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex makes installation and removal easier.
  • Make sure to enable mods in Starfield's settings and check if you need to use the Starfield Script Extender for certain mods, though this one may not require it.
  • If you're using other body mods, install this one after them to ensure the normal map takes effect.
