SoTR mod: Diveskin Lara
FIRST INSTALL Special K:
This mod requires the Special K injector: https://steamcommunity.com/app/637650/discussions/0/1697167168518535998/
Archive contents should be placed in your SoTR game folder. If done correctly, there will be an initial text window at top of screen when the game starts up. Once you verify this, you are ready to install my mod.
INSTALL MOD:
Optional: Remove or zip and hide any previous mod's .dds files which are already in the following folder:
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Shadow of the Tomb Raider\SK_Res\inject\textures\
(If there are .dds files from a previous mod remaining in the textures\ folder, they could interfere with this outfit, for example by
changing the reflectiveness of parts of the outfit, or by changing colors of the remaining shoulders part of the Blue Heron outfit.)
Download mod (from the FILES tab on the above tab bar), and unzip in to your SoTR game folder. This mod's files are all in their own folder, and will not overwrite any files in the textures\ folder.
USE:
Launch Steam, select SoTR in Library, and click PLAY.
In the small launch app window, under Options, make sure DirectX12 is unchecked.
On the Graphics tab, Texture Quality must be set to Ultra.
Go to a campfire and select Inventory/Outfits/Blue Heron Tunic. Note that this outfit does not become available until you have completed about 30% of the game. A workaround is to download a 100% save file from the web, and then start a NEW GAME+. Even then, you will have to complete the first 2 or 3 stages of the game (about 8% of the game) before you reach a campfire where you can change outfits. This outfit can then be used throughout most of the rest of the game, the exception being inside the Cultist's Temple in the Hidden City, where only the Serpent Guard outfit can be used, though this mod outfit will still appear as an underwear layer.
OPTIONS:
The images show Diveskin with low neckline. The Diveskin can be changed to a high neckline, or V-neckline. Go to:
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Shadow of the Tomb Raider\SK_Res\inject\textures\i456_Lara_Suits\
Double-click on _Change_Lara's_Suit.bat, and select your choice of neckline and then "U)pdate suit". Restart the game.
Outfit texture can also be changed, between S)mooth and F)ine / C)oarse carbon fiber.
Moire effect: This can be seen with all outfits except Diveskin with Smooth texture, and Powernet with Smooth texture.
To maximize moire effect set these Graphics options:
DISPLAY / ANTI-ALIASING SMAA for smoother fabric, or OFF for rougher fabric
GRAPHICS / TEXTURE FILTERINGAny Anisotropic setting
If you prefer to eliminate moire effect, use these settings:
DISPLAY / ANTI-ALIASING TAA
GRAPHICS / TEXTURE FILTERINGTrilinear
Powernet suit: Also included in this mod. Select it by running _Change_Lara's_Suit.bat. Select P)owernet, then "U)pdate suit".
Moire suit: Also included in this mod. Selecting this automatically sets V-Neckline (recommended), though you can then override it if you wish.
DISABLING MOD:
To disable this mod completely, go to the i456_Lara_Suits\ folder, and run _Disable_Lara_Suit_Mod.bat.
Mod can be re-enabled by running _Change_Lara's_Suit.bat, and selecting "U)pdate suit".
To completely remove the mod, simply delete the i456_Lara_Suits\ folder.

Files to hide most of the Blue Heron Tunic are from JOSTARMOD1, as were most of the base files for this mod.

Equipment-hide mod from JOSTARMOD1 was used when capturing many of the images. Equipment-hide mod can be toggled on and off during game play. Equipment-hide mod is NOT included with my mod. If you obtain and use this mod, note that the Graphics option AMBIENT OCCLUSION must be set to BTAO for items to be hidden.
