Varesa's outfit from Genshin Impact, refined and repacked with more options than ever! The original mod by Necromancer can be found here, but it's not needed to use this -> https://xivmodarchive.com/modid/140972

I kinda nerd-sniped myself with this one; after I saw someone express wanting shorter nails on the mod, I couldn't help myself but clean up everything in the mod to make it (closer to) the best it can be!

Most of the major differences are in the picture, but here's a comprehensive list:
- Removed many of the extra textures, shrinking the mod size by almost half! (50 MB unpacked). A lot of the materials were reused between pieces, but with separate materials and textures; clearing those up saved so much space. Additionally, certain textures were optimised away to use vanilla textures (notably the id_16 common texture), and the diffuse textures have been compressed for extra storage savings!
- Split off the arm warmers and shoes into their own items. The arm warmer gloves in particular are a favourite of mine, and would be great to use in other outfits. To accommodate this, the mod now modifies the Tycoon item set.
- Enabled use of the Au'ra specific hat model, which has slightly modified positions to fit better. The original mod had this file but wasn't using it due to misconfigured metadata.
- Enabling the ears on the hat model hides the ears on most races, along with Au'ra horns. Miqo'te and Viera ears are unaffected by this.
- Two additional nail sizes have been added. The original mod came with long stabby nails, which are pretty, but don't fit too well with Varesa herself. So for this, I sourced some short nails by eremm, alongside adding the default Bibo+ nails. Each nail does come with its own partial hand mesh due to incompatibilities between the nails, but the overhead is minor. eremm's nails can be found here: https://xivmodarchive.com/modid/113871
- As part of modifying the nails, I've made each nail individually dyeable through material editing (or Glamourer's Advanced Dye system). The A channels of the varesa_nail material control the colours, with rows 1-5 for the left hand (pink by default) and rows 6-10 for the right hand (blue by default)
- I love to add toggles for accessories and extra parts onto any model I mess with, and I haven't stopped this time! Sadly I only messed with the top however, as there are a lot of shadows baked into the textures that I didn't want to mess with right now.

In the future, I'd like to upscale the outfit to a different size; Personally I use Yet Another Body sizes (Large + Watermelon specifically), and the devkit is a joy to work with so I'll likely try to get all the main YAB sizes. When that will happen is something not even I know, and I'm very sorry for that.

(Please also note that due to metadata (EQP) changes on the items, body parts will be missing on Lalafells. There's nothing I can do to fix that without making an entirely separate port to the Lalafell body size, I'm sorry)

Again, a big thank you to Necromancer for the original port and eremm for the short nails model. The only content that could really be considered my creation is the nail ID texture, so please check and respect the others' permissions on their content.
