About This File
Hi Everyone!
So.. After a good 5 years of using the FSM Extreme textures, and after doing some preset work, i noticed on both nipples that there is some color banding present on the original diffuse texture. This issue is present on any diffuse texture using the "Ligth Nipples" option. The dark option does not suffer from this color banding. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it, so i guess its time to pull off some texture editting..
Im a total noob when it comes to any sort of texture work, and i made this "Fix" using good ol Paint.net with the DDS plugin.
After some trail and error, this is yet the best version i could muster up. The right nipple (in screenshots) is pretty much done. The left nipple could still use some more love as the banding is still there (not as bad as the OG texture)
I have include a premade compressed texture that i personaly use in-game where i applied my fix.
The one im using from the OG mod is.: FSM Body Textures Extreme Full - Clean-48510-1-0-1605772139\diffuse\lightnipples\outie\allover\clear\bare
I have also include the nipples in a seperate TGA file that you can layer over the any diffuse light nipple OG texture to apply the fix yourself.
To apply the fix, you will need a program like Paint.net that supports layering and DDS file handeling.
Steps for paint.net
1. Open your preferred diffuse body texture in paint.net
2. Open the TGA nipple file include
3. Make sure to zoom out in both files!! Otherwise the textures wont line op right.
4. Make a new layer in the diffuse body file (Make sure this layer is on top, should be by default)
5. Copy the nipples from the TGA file into the new layer
6. Merge the layers by doing Image > Flatten
7. Safe and compress with the following settings:
BC3 (Linear, DTX5)
Check, Generate mip maps, Bicubic.
Check, Use gamma correction.
Save and done!
Place your new file into the texture directory:

Request!
I guess ill use this opportunity to request anyone with proper photoshop skills and/or texture edditing knowledge to assist me in fixing this "the right way"
If you can pitch in on this one, its much appriciated!
What's New in Version 1.1
Released
Premade body once again included, Improved TGA file included aswell!
- Further improved right nipple
- Fixed left nipple best i could.
- Added patch of skin on right side to cover obvious banding line
- Quality of fix may depend on body preset!
- When using more freckeled skin, patch of skin might get in the way!
- Might make a final version after this to sharpen the covered areas, as my method blurs the texture a bit. Not realy noticeable ingame.
