It’s back, better than ever and now works for all female talls (except Hrothgals….). Do not ask me for anything ever again.

To download on Heliosphere, scroll to the bottom and select your variant. You do not need the plugin to download. There is a ko-fi download mirror with both installers.

🖪 PATCH NOTES:

→ The layout has been reworked to better suit the original vision. It’s largely unchanged, but the changes are extensive enough that old recolours are no longer compatible. This version is MUCH better than the original imho.

WE WILL NOT BE ADDING LEGACY FILES, NOR WILL THEY BE UPDATED. PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD DRAGONBREATH 1.0 FILES.

→ Scaled faces on Au Ra have been cut for the time being. The new UVs did terrible things to them and with the whole body needing a repaint, they went on the backburner. We may add them back in a future update.

→ New colours added. There’s 8 total colours - Raen Legacy, Raen Dawntrail, Bone White, Pure White, Ivory, Xaela Blue, Grey, Vanilla Black, True Black, and Bloodmoon. All colours are available on all bodies. Four shine options. Optional Rue + skin shimmer. Four normal variants (Bibo default, Bibo buff, Rue+ default, and YAB buff). Please note that visibility of effects will depend on lighting and scale colour.

Cellulite and stretchmarks were not added. Stretchmarks because they also go on the diffuse, and cellulite because it affected the look of some of the scales. Please feel free to download the devkit if you wanna add them!

→ 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 ♥

→ The installer comes in 2K (2048x2048) for gameplay/venue use and 4K (4096x4096) for GPOSE - face files only come in 2K (2048X2048). DevKit contains both resolutions for the body files.

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

→ NECK SEAM: Despite our best efforts, there is a visible neck seam on all bodies, regardless of our mod OR body mods. It is present on vanilla. You will see it, period. Yes, we added the neck seam fixes in the available Bibo devkit. Yes, it still looks like this. It seems like it’s more visible with this mod because we’re drawing attention to it by putting scales next to it.

Do not message me about it. Do not message body mod creators about it. It’s down to how video games are made: pixel economy, shader parameters, and topography.

→ POINTED DOT TRANSPARENCY: On light scales with dark skin, sometimes the pointed ending dots can be a little transparent. We’ve tried to mitigate this as much as possible by including light scale and dark scale normal options, but unfortunately the game’s shaders are unkind. It’s not as bad as it was on the original mod, but it is an unfortunate side effect of having so many details.

→ XAELA TAIL 2: The shaders make it appear lighter than the others. This is also present on vanilla tails and is not a modpack issue. In some lighting it might look like it’s straight up glowing with light scale colours - this is due to the in-game shader parameters, and not our mod files. Once again, it only appears to a noticeable degree on light scale colours for Xaela Tail 2.

→ SCALE OUTLINE: An outline will be visible around the scales which is more visible when using certain saturated skin tones and viewing at specific camera distances. This is a vanilla issue - it's present on vanilla scales too. Hopefully this will be updated in 7.1, given the last announcement about the graphics update.

→ GEN 3 TEXTURE QUALITY: As usual, Gen 3 is here for compatibility and compatibility only. There will be pixelation from the texture conversion, as well as a very visible neck seam. We are not kidding when we say the neck seam is very visible on Gen 3 bodies. We do not provide any support for Gen 3 as it is not the intended user experience.

→ 2K VERSION PIXELATION: There are half as many pixels, so they're gonna be bigger/more visible, especially on a texture with this many tiny details. The 2k version is intended as a lighter-performance gameplay alternative, while 4k is the crisp texture experience for close camera shots. Please, for the love of people’s VRAM, don’t use the 4K install in venues or large social gatherings. We promise the 2K version looks 100% fine unless you’re really zoomed in.

🖪 INFORMATION

→ This mod was made for Bibo+ 3.1.0. File path names have changed for Dawntrail with Bibo - rendering older versions of it incompatible. Dragonbreath 1.0 is no longer supported.

→ INSTALLERS ARE FOR ALL FEMALE TALLS EXCLUDING HROTHGAR. INSTALLERS ARE MEANT FOR USE WITH PENUMBRA COLLECTIONS. We will not be providing support for TexTools installations. Please only toggle on the installs you need for diffuse, normal, and mask - especially so for the 4K version, as you’ll experience performance issues if you don’t. 2K variant is meant for gameplay and social gatherings.

→ Only install the options you need in the collection for the character you’re using it on. Non-Au Ra females share a mask - meaning this mod will change the mask (scale shine) for all bodies regardless of the race you opt to install it on (Middie, Miqo, Roe, etc). This is why we do not recommend a TexTools install (and why we offer no support for TexTools).

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

→ DEVKIT IS AVAILABLE ON KO-FI. It's free.

It’s a big zip file - it includes 2K and 4K textures, transparents, etc.
