Is Tiresias split horizontally or vertically? I would hope horizontally but judging by the fact he said “boob” singular I’m a little scared.. unless it’s mashed together like Doey or whatever
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME THIS
ok uuhh, nudity warning, or more like.. singular boob warning
so yes, he is split vertically, so not only he is malnourished and kinda twisted and rotten but also he is half male and female, in the most biological impossible way
DO NOT ask me what he has under there, I DON'T wanna think about it
okay i got asked a few times so here's how you add some scars and really fuck up your rt using the redress mod. i have another tutorial featuring this mod as well, located here, but that focuses more on clothes, and this will focus on scars (+ a bit of tattoos and masks!)
alright, let's get our first ugly baby, fresh faced:
i like how she looks, but based off this Shadow of Torment Darkest Hour:
An error during the sanctioning process brought you many hours of agony, which nearly cost you your life.
i feel like she needs to look a little more fucked up! so, let's save, and then hit CTRL + F10, and your screen will now look like this:
click on Redress Character to open the mod screen, which now looks like this:
we're gonna click on Show Clothing Section, and then click on Show Include Section so it should now look like this:
now we're gonna go to that search bar and type in "Scar" and scroll down, which then looks like this:
now click the little "+" button to get to the second page, and you'll actually see some of the scars you can add. you can, essentially, just stack as many as you want. to break down what scars work for who, basically:
EE_Scar01_Any_Any - this can be applied to any model, within reason.
EE_Scar01_F_HM - this is meant to be for female (F) + human models (HM)
EE_Scar01_M_EL - this is meant to be for male (M) + eldar models (EL)
EE_Scar01_M_HM - this is meant to be for male (M) + human models (HM)
EE_Scar01_M_SM - this is meant to be for male (M) + space marine models (SM)
there's a wide variety of stuff that can swap to other models not meant for it, but you will usually encounter some sort of graphical glitch. literally, just play around with it, you can always remove something if it turns out weird, or go back to a previous save.
anyway, scrolling through the pages, i just slapped a bunch on here, which, after scrolling up and clicking the Show Exclude Section resulted in it looking like this:
and my rogue trader looked like this!
ain't that cool? the specific scar EE_Scar17KibellahBody_Any_Any isn't seen unless your rogue trader is nude/in their underclothes, and you will match kibellah if romancing her, but it is a neat detail:
for my second little guy, let's assume we already put all his scars on him, but we want to convey more physical damage via having his face covered up by a physical mask. right now, he looks like this:
let's save, and then open up toybox again using CTRL + F10, and scroll down to the Includes section again, much like we did before! now, let's type "mask" in the search bar:
again, a lot of options, just experiment with includes! the specific mask my rogue trader is wearing is EE_MaskGenestealerMask2_M_HM which ends with him looking like this!
sometimes, if you equip a helmet (or mask) it will then take off the mask/helmet you're wearing, like so
but you can just scroll up to the Show Excludes Section and click "Exclude" on it to have it not appear, but still give you the stat benefits of the helmet, like so:
for tattoos, you can also technically "stack" tattoos! let's use heinrix as an example:
i don't really like the chain tattoos, i usually only give him the aquila (and even then, it's just because i like the idea of psyker branding), but! it's an example! to get this, we're gonna have our excludes section look like this:
just to remove his cape and shirt. and, you know, you can also remove whatever else you want...
but, let's now go back to the Includes section, and type in "tatoo" (yes, it's misspelled, no i don't know why, just roll with it) so we get this:
again, you can experiment, go crazy, have fun. the specific tattoos i added above were:
EE_TatooAquillaBack_M_HM
EE_TatooTatooArm11_Left_M_HM
EE_TatooTatooArm11_Right_M_HM
but you can stack... literally all of them, which looks a bit silly, doesn't it? it just looks like this arm is rotting off, lol
you can also do this to take off tattoos, like marazhais, but, he looks so naked...
