Fixes the female swimsuit using the male swimsuit normal map
Does not modify the color texture at all
Bethesda dropped the ball on this one, the material for the female model has all female maps, except the normal is still assigned to the male normal map. In most lighting and on lower graphics settings its not quite as noticeable, but in a brightly lit area (like a beach) they look terrible, and even worse with some custom texture replacers.
I’ve made 2 new normal maps to choose from, one works best with patterns(option 1), the other with solid colors(option 2). That’s of course my opinion and you may disagree so choose whichever suits you. The screenshots have an example of both. Either way it’s better than the vanilla option.
Also included as options are the swimsuit normals from Scrunch Bikini’s mod, one with and without nipples.(options 3 & 4)
screenshots are encouraged and really help out the mod(PG only)
Compatibility
Everything
This modifies the vanilla material with the new normal map, so should be by default compatible with color replacers and different body types.
Mod authors that have replacers with new normals can default support by including a copy of the normal renamed “female” in place of male. Since the game doesn’t include one it won’t overwrite anything.
Installation
1. Use mod manager to install normally or manually extract the textures to your mod directory
Supported by default:
Retex – Swim Suit
Note:
The screenshots have options 3&4, I am awaiting permission from SpaceYam to upload it. If he doesn’t I’ll probably just make a couple different normal maps.
