Too muscly for my personal taste, I like the thin and petite Lara with very feminine poses, but excellent work for those into that sort of bodyshape

Well, there's already an optional file to make her look less muscle-y...

HC Lara is color matched with original textures now. At least to my capabilities and capabilities of source skin photos, that I used. Old mods - yea they got skewed colors.
Also keep in mind, that on upper screenshot model is lit by bonfire and I edit screenshots (they look a little bit different from vanilla game, close to this mod).

would it be possible to make an always dirt version of your mod?

Thanks!

I needed to organize my thoughts about what to do next, so I've made a roadmap of the updates I want to create. Don't take it too seriously, modding is my hobby so I like to change plans to cater to task that I'll find inspiring for current week. Nevertheless I'll try my best to follow this roadmap.

Phase One - Complete!
I'll take a short break from complicated model edits. I'll make some minor edits and try to fix and transfer some of my old textures to HC Lara model.

• Small addition to Extras - DONE - Added 4 new variations to Extras ("Only Necklace", "Only Pendant", "Only Sandals", "No Bracelets").
• Procedural Stains Customizer - DONE - Allows you to remove procedural dirt, blood and water from HC Lara Body.
• Muscles & Pubic Hair Customizer - DONE - Allows you to increase or reduce muscle definition and to remove pubic hair. Later new separate addon will be introduced with pubic hair as a model and more options.
• MusclesTan & Tanlines textures - DONE - fix compatibility issues and transfer them from my older mods to this one.

Phase Two - New body types it is!
A lot of request, so I moved it closer. In order to release new body types faster - gonna cut some corners with accessories and move other body customisation further.

• New "Bombshell" body type - DONE - will push my model to a reasonable limit. I'll try to maximize breast, waist, thighs, buttocks, while maintain minimal clipping.
• New "Petite" body type - DONE - basicly almost same shape as original SotTR model, but with fixed nipples, pussy and anus. I'll enlarge it a little bit (15% if lucky) so it'll still fit into the original outfits.
• Head Conflicts fix - will look into conflict with standard outfits, that causes parts of neck and chest disappear for them.
• Beta replacement for "Tactical Adventurer" - beta version (with less variations) of nude replacement for main Lara's outfit.
• Jiggle Enhance Addon - will look again into cloth physics. Maybe I'll find a way to increase the range of motion for bigger boobs without breaking anything.

Phase Three - Textures
Transfer some old texture variations to HC Lara. Also will make old mods compatible with SotTR Mod Manger. No improvments or fixes, I'll just rename and reorganise texture to make them convenient to use.

• Body paint textures - fix compatibility issues and transfer them from my older mods to this one.
• Clothes by textures - fix compatibility issues and transfer some of the old texture outfits (bikinies, leotard, shorts).Temporary placeholder while new outfis mods with cloth models not created yet.
• Quick fix for Wild Huntress
• Quick fix for Tribal Outfits
• Quick fix for Explorer Outfits
• Quick fix for Wet Leotard
• Quick fix for Leotard and Shorts

Phase Four - Finishing this Mod
lot of request, so I moved it closer. In order to release new body types faster - gonna cut some corners with accessories and move other body
customisation further.

• New system for pubic hair - will create several pubic hair models and pack them into separate addon with options selector.
• New system for nail color - will create hand and feet nails model with custom color textures to choose from.
• Create replacemants for other Lara's story outfits - HC Lara Nude with all bodytype options to replace Tactical Adventurer and other.

Phase Five - New outfits

• New cloth models for HC Lara body - have a lot of ideas, most likely start with a bikini, bodysuits and other skin tight outfits.
• Proper fix to older stuff - will try to move all old mods to "HC Lara - Petite Body" at least. I'll also unify textures of old mods with HC Lara.

    
Sooo ... a lot to do, let's hope I'll have more spare time for modding this year

Phase one complete! Moving through phase two!

• Added "Bombshell" body type.
• Added "Petite" body type.
• Fixed some mesh distortions on thighs and crotch for all body types.
• Added Body Textures Customizer for Tan & Tanlines.

I've awaited your return orz

I've specifically kept the Special K method even though it's been pure suffering because your old mods are just too good and are like the only ones with a ripped Lara. It's great to finally have them on the manager

[Giony]

damn, these look amazing, too bad i finished a playthrough a few months ago. woulda loved to have used this

[Fiesta72]

Hey Hornycopter could you make an option to remove sandals for her bombshell body?

第一阶段完成！进入第二阶段！

• 添加了“重磅炸弹”体型。
• 添加了“娇小”体型。
• 修复了所有体型的大腿和胯部的一些网状变形。
• 添加了 Tan & Tanlines 的身体纹理定制器。

Why, naked butts and boobs don't get wet or dirty

[VonRaschke]

Likely a mod conflict as her entire body gets muddy for me. What mods do you have installed?

Hey mate, could you make it so the default starting gear (tactical adventurer, I believe) be just Lara naked? You know, just vanilla. So we don't have to rely on the unlocker to marvel at your fabulous work.

Currently working on it.

Had problems with game engine crashes - figured them out. Had to redo all my materails to use them on several custom model at the same time without crashes.
Right now transfering my models to "Tactical Adventurer" slot - figuring out how to better split my model to upper and bottom part. Want to make my model compatible with ingame system that allows lower and upper parts of "Tactical Adventurer" outfit to change separately.

If there are no more surprises from game engine - major update will be available next week (working on mods mostly on weekends from now on).

In the meantime, want to share some screenshots by BlackGTNinja from nexus:


Excellent showcase of HC Lara "Bombshell" body type. Truly Definitive Edition 😄

There is an additional option for more muscles. Sporty body + More Muscles makes her look like an Amazon lol

I'm so tempted to play the game for the mod again but damn I just beat it and the story so trash.

[VonRaschke]

This is already one of the best nude mods I've ever seen, so I can't wait to see it when it's finished and so many more outfits are included. It'll be an all-time great mod.

Great work! If you ever get time, cat ears/tail would be appreciated as a potential option!

Seems to me that the neck seems fix doesn't work with version 1.25. Having it installed reverts the tactical top to its default. Bottoms are fine.

 

I'm currently in the hidden city, so it'll be hard for me to test at the moment.

"Neck Fix" should be installed before "Tactical - Nude" to work properly. For most convenience I recommend to install "Neck Fix" first of all files, even before "Main File". This way you can keep it installed in place even in the future, when more updates for main or other files will come.

Stumbled upon absolutely stunning pictures of HC Lara "Sporty" body type by faith103 from Deviantart (more there), just had to share it 😍

I'm at the point where I have to wear the serpent guard outfit. So I'll pause my playthrough until the outfit is implemented. Can't think I can play without HC lara

I think it will take me two weeks to release next major update, or two weekends to be exact (I'll only be able to work on mods on weekends in next few month).

But you can always use Outfit Unlock Mod to remove restriction on what outfit to use and there.

Wow, this HC Lara mod looks so great. I`am curious about the end result.

 

I hope we see this body version in a new mod for "Rise of the Tomb Raider" again.

 

But just don`t rush with the mod creation. Good work takes time.

Thanks. I'm not in a hurry. I'd rather wait and play the true HC Nude experience.
