Even more difficult in some ways than Jill was choosing to enhance the prominent Benedikta Harman.  Between lots of different exporting issues and in part, a wrong model conversion script, along with additional texture call manipulation to fix the "aging skin / stone skin" issue (not 100% perfect but very close now), I'm just happy this is done and workable.  The pants, dress, and belts were also separate meshes making things a pain.

Benedikta always knew her smarts, skills, subterfuge, and above all, good looks and manipulation could get her wherever she wanted amongst those in power.  Why not then, that she should simply stay as-is when many men are lured to the danger of more greatly curvaceous figures?  

This mod greatly enhances Benedikta's model with a much larger chest, hips, thighs and butt.  b0001 is her human form.  b0002 data carries these "empowerments" through to her Semi-Prime form.  b0004 features her nude model in a small handful of cutscenes (tested with Drake's Fang; I didn't have a "bedroom" save available but hopefully should work there).  Her data pac also carries a material override to solve some texturing issues.

Known issues:
--When you defeat her in battle at Caer Norvent, there is a moment which the game pauses to reward you with items before another cutscene plays.  In that cutscene both her and Clive's models T-pose / get stuck for some reason.  Once the following cutscene plays, things should be normal again.
--There is an occlusion / face issue with feathers on the neckline of her dress only having front faces visible (a few cutscenes showing her backside show this).
--Due to the round-tripping conversion process for modding and the aged skin / stoneskin texture temp fix, there is very minor mismatch for her torso tone vs skin.  It's pretty close to original, though.
--Her thicc thighs have snapped half of the leg belt on her left leg.  Easy to remove, however either a texture adjustment, baked shadow, or lightmap adjustment eventually needs to be done to blend that part.  Not sure how to fix it yet.
--The initial opening game scene at the Nyssa Defile is pre-rendered so she will sadly not have any mod changes showing in it.
--She's in a lot of the first handful of hours of the game.  Not every scene has been tested, sorry!

--This mod contains the FFXVI folder root for Reloaded-II Mod Reloader (Github) (Nexus) which is mostly required for running XVI mods.  Put the extracted folder of "FFXVI.BustyThiccBenedikta.FILE" in your Reloaded folder > Mods
--The RAR also contain the 0001.diff file independently.  This means you can run the mods without using the Reloader tool if you prefer. To do this, put the diff file in: Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY XVI\data or wherever you have XVI installed at.
--If you use the independent method, only ONE game mod can be loaded at once affecting the character 0001 data folder.
--If you use Reloaded-II, you can combine this with other character mods; just not any others affecting Benedikta model overwrites.

--Edit - Added a slightly bustier thiccer version, too!

I'd like to thank Maybri, DaPinnnt, Nenkai, and Baal and the XVI modding discord for their invaluable help and patience!

Almost all FFXVI mods are on Nexus Mods but I also use Game Banana so will crosslink the mod there to here, too.
