✧BMM✧ DEVIL'S BACKBONE - BIBO+

clever as the devil and twice as pretty.

Hello again. This is possibly our best release to date.

Devil’s Backbone is a fuller-coverage scale mod originally developed for personal use (say thank u to Hades right now) that has been modified for public use. It’s meant to evoke a feeling like armor, with smoother normals and larger plates. we joke that it’s dragonborn’s edgier sister lmaoooo

To download on Heliosphere, find the Variant dropdown, and hit the “Download as PMP” link underneath it. You do not need the plugin to download.

In our extensive testing we have found NO issues with modpacks; please only send help messages if you find an actual issue that is not addressed below.

🖪 We do not receive mod reports through mod websites. To get in contact you must do so through Twitter, Bluesky or Ko-fi - but only after you read the mod description and FAQ. tysm ♥


PATCH NOTES:

→ Completely repainted. Old recolours are no longer compatible.

Four shine options: Matte, Vanilla, Shiny, and High Gloss. Optional skin shimmer toggle courtesy of Elegy.

Four normal options: Bibo+ default, Bibo+ buff, Rue+ default, and YAB Buff.

→ Still Gen 3 compatible for base functionality. It’s not the intended experience though, so no complaining.

→ Black Sclera is no longer available as an option. It’s not connected to the diffuse, but there’s plenty of mods out there if you want it ♥

→ Fun addons in the form of further tail compatibility.

🖪 KNOWN ISSUES [DO NOT DM US ABOUT THESE]:

FINE BODY SEAMS: Due to the nature of this mod, there’s some fine seams where… well, where there’s seams. we’ve done our best to mitigate this and generally speaking, you shouldn’t be able to see them unless you’re REALLY LOOKING.

PIXELS ON CLOSE ZOOM: There are only so many pixels the game can handle. This mod was developed in 2K so it comes in 2K. It’s about the same as Dragonborn.


🖪 INFORMATION

→ This mod was made for Bibo+ 3.1.2. File path names have changed for Dawntrail with Bibo - rendering older versions of it incompatible.

INSTALLER IS AU RA SPECIFIC. The scaleless neck files are included in the Devkit, along with a Universal Neck Seam PSD - with the new UVs, a continued neck seam should be possible on all races but Hroth. In our limited testing, it works fine. (Roe might be a little fussy but ehhhhhh)

→ PSD for scaleless faces included in Devkit. The neck seam and horn/scale toggles are included in the overlays; the vanilla neckseam is, as ever, not compatible. It makes us so sad seeing the hard neck seam so we added in compatibility for sculpt creators/users.

→ if you use these, feel free to use #bloodmoonmods on Twitter so we can see!!
