Dust Removal

Removes dirt effects from character skin. Forger version.

DustRemoval - Skin dust removal

✨ **A mod that shows how to edit textures with Forger, designed to inspire other creators! **

📖Module Introduction

I made this mod mainly to prove that editing textures with **Forger** is possible, and hopefully lead other authors to create or convert their own content as a result. I even wrote a guide explaining everything I did in the `DustRemoval` folder in the modder package.

**PLEASE NOTE**: The textures I edited are shared so the dirt will be removed from all characters, not just the protagonist.

**Prerequisites**: This mod requires Forger patch manager version **2.6** or higher to run.

📦 Version selection

• **Modder Pack**: Contains three `.dds` files (instead of one) to make it easier to understand the principles.

🔧 Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble running the game, please try the following steps in order:

• **Step 1**: Start Forger, disable and delete the module files in the `ForgerPatches` directory.
• **Step 2**: If it doesn’t work, start Forger again and click the `Reset all Forges` button. Launch the game, and if it runs fine, reactivate your mod.
• **Step 3**: If it still doesn’t work, try to verify and repair the game files through Steam or Uplay.
• **Step 4**: If all the above methods fail, I'm afraid you need to reinstall the game. 😔

⚠️ Known incompatibility

This mod is **not compatible** with Nude Greece's base texture.

**Tips**: Hypermorphic has removed the dirt from the textures in `Nude Skins for 2.6`, so if you're already using his mod, you don't need this one of mine.
