UPD: 2.5.2: Type 3 installer- V3 Midlander body hair appearance fixed.
UPD: 2.5.1: Au Ra tails quick fix.
Install “Au Ra Tails- Fix” ttmp if you don’t want to re-download the full installer again.

TheBody 2.5 features full asymmetry, 4 body types with unique details, and 9 body hair variants that change color in accordance to head hair color in-game. There are 4 bottom options- SFW, Cut, Uncut A, and Uncut B.
There is a comparison picture included for you to choose what you enjoy best.

Things to keep in mind:

-Not all body hair color/skin color combos look -pretty-.
-Neck seam is still there. Just like vanilla.
-Will appear symmetrical on Vanilla/TB1 stuff.
-All the NPCs will appear to be using TYPE1 SFW bodies. The reason for this decision is kids characters.
-Type 3 and Type 4 bodies have a thicker frame (compared to vanilla) so expect clipping on some boots and gloves.
-Just like before. Flaccid- Smallclothes, Erect- Emperor’s.

Technical stuff:
-Uses Hrothgar shader (don’t even try to switch to something else), which means we have no access to shininess of the skin (Au Ra scales look velveteen, kind of) and it still has pores.
-Each face multi/specular texture had to be edited to match the change.
-Skin material parts A and B are being used for skin textures(A mat- symmetrical vanilla/TB1, B mat- asymmetrical TB 2.0+).
-TheBody 2.5 UV layout is based on vanilla UV, to make it easier for modders to port things.
-TB Resource Kit included. Has all the goodies (.psd, .max) needed for easier mods creation. 3ds Max 2018 or newer needed. Adopt the File’s Unit Scale. If you want to add a vanilla FBX into the scene- choose “Add”, NOT “Add and update”. This will probably be fixed once there’s a better solution found.

How to install:
-Choose the body type you like and import the modpack using TT.
-Pick options.

No update is available for this mod.

FUCKING READ THIS BEFORE U REPORT:

Reports I toss out immediately with reasons:

Catbox/Buzzheavier is down: good indicator of the website being down is download links not loading/you are given a loading error/infinite loading/connection timeout, etc. We do not own Catbox or Buzzheavier, wait a few hours for the service providers to fix the issue, there’s nothing we can do.
Virus warning: read the FAQ/Troubleshooting
DT/version update requests: mods will not get updated until someone shares the update with us on Telegram & an uploader gets to it
Malicious ads/files: again, read the FAQ/Troubleshooting guide. You WILL get fucked up if you can’t pass a simple reading comprehension test.
Buzzheavier is dead: bro its been back for MONTHS quit trying to tell me it doesn’t exist lmao
A make-up/body mod only has loose files: lol

Everything else I do make sure to test on my end, but if I (the owner of the website) personally come up with nothing, your report will be thrown out. It is 99% likely the issue is on your end, and if you don’t see a fix in Updates for your problem within a few weeks, you can assume that that is the case.

To everyone else, thank you for your report so we can fix actual issues with the website, I appreciate your contribution.
