FBD major technical update

Added 2021-11-10 03:03:50 +0000 UTC

Hey! This is the major technical update. First I planned to add some new stuff after these technical things but they took so much time and resulted in so multiple changes that I decided to release them as a separate update.

So, first of all I noticed that some skin textures are shifted about 2-3 pixels (this is pretty critical for the correct look) and this probably happened even before I added different details to skin such as butts, nipples and so on.

I was really shocked with this because all details seems to be applied in the same way but some of them were applied to the correct textures and some to the shifted ones. This meant I can't just shift incorrect textures back to the normal position because I need to leave details in their places. But the point is I lost the source files and couldn't repeat adding details to initial textures and so I had to correct shifted textures as is which is always a real pain in the ass.

Secondly, once EA released fingernails in the Spa Day Refresh, I noticed that they look totally ugly with the FBD skin because of completely mismatch with texture nails. I long wanted to correct this and I finally reworked all textures fingernails for them to accurately match the fingernails from accessories. Now sims can make their manicure without worrying it may look ugly:)

One more thing is I added face age details to the skin (see the title image). This is the thing EA added once ago but I couldn't add this to the FBD skin because it has an increased texture size and I didn't know the way to increase images without ugly loss of quality and these details looked really bad when I tried to add them. Now I found the way how to do that and now different age faces will finally look different.

Besides the things mentioned above I made numerous corrections and improvements here and there, I don't even remember them all, for example different breast cleavage depending on the age of a sim is now applied to all body types, some butt types were slightly improved, completely reworked thin body type texture for elders and so on.

Hope you like the update, happy simming!
