Female fitness muscle normal map "XS Sporty Sexy Map"

Male fitness muscle normal map 'XS Ripped'

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

With over a whopping 1. 1 million downloads, Sporty Sexy Sweat was the very first 'wet skin' texture mod. Whereas just boosting up the specularity creates an oily skin, Sporty Sexy Map added water drops, highlights and (faux) water droplets, something that was never done before.

For Starfield I've remade most of the the texture details by hand. Mainly due to Starfield using a roughness map, in contrary to Skyrim's Specular map. After extensive experimentation and combining several techniques, I was able to create this.

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

Questions

Known Issues

- I don't understand why but the forehead and face are less affected by the roughness map. This can be due to a conflicting mask but I haven't figured out why. Will investigate further.

- Seams are difficult to spot but still visible in certain lights and angles

Requiments

StarfieldCustom.ini will of course need the the following lines:

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have mod support enabled in Starfield (use the in-game mods menu or a mod manager like Vortex).
  • Since this is a texture replacer, it should work with most body mods, but test it with your current setup to avoid conflicts.
  • If the wet effect doesn't show up, check that the mod is placed correctly in your Data folder or load order.
