Updated 3/29/2026! V1.1 notes:
-Veeery slightly adjusts the shape of the underside curve of the breast, to make it flow a bit better.
-Adds a hard nipple shapekey toggle that works on every option.
-Adds buff options for both Rue and YAB. Includes SFW, bare, and bare Yiggle options for buff.
Dewdrop is a breast shape edit for both YAB and Rue. It's a size somewhere in between small and medium, slightly larger than most vanilla chests. It works for all F races except Lalafell.
There are both YAS/Yiggle and non-YAS options for bare breasts, as well as a non-YAS SFW version with a bra. Options for the Buff versions of YAB and Rue are also present. This is my first time working extensively with high-poly bodies, and I think I did alright, but I apologize if there are any issues.
As this is a modded body edit WITHOUT built-in textures, it
REQUIRES an install of any body mod that has Bibo+ materials & textures to function— YAB/Rue are not specifically required, but do work. The YAS options also require an install of Yet Another Skeleton.
I made this because I like YAB and Rue's torso shape, but wanted a chest size a bit smaller than Medium/Mini without being almost completely flat like Small. I also wanted to have an option for breasts that were shaped like my own, but most existing mods go for a more "bottom-heavy" look, and getting the shape I wanted on them wasn't possible with just Customize+.
Compared to a similar size on Bibo Medium, Dewdrop's breasts rest more "east-west" as opposed to straight downwards. There's less breast tissue on the inside of the breast compared to the outside, so there's no cleavage when bare. There's also much less breast tissue underneath the nipple, and the areola are a bit larger and softer (not erect) than default Bibo.
Please check out the other preview images on the Heliosphere page for more in-depth comparisons with other adjacent sizes!I initially made this for a smaller breast size, so it generally looks best on 50 bust slider or below, but you can go higher if you want. Some races' racial body scaling will make them sort of "pokey-outey" on larger bust scales though, so if you aren't a fan of that look you can use Customize+ to adjust the breast bones' position. I recommend adjusting their position slightly down and inwards towards the body for a more natural rest with the large bust slider.
The Extra Files section on Heliosphere contains two optional Customize+ templates for adding more sag and curvature to the Dewdrop breast. Please consider checking them out if that's your thing.
I also highly recommend using Dewdrop together with
skin textures intended for smaller or flat chests, because the baked-in underboob crease on most default Bibo textures can look a bit unnatural on this size. Muse and Nymph are two bodies that include such textures. I personally use the textures from Bibo Flat, which you can find here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wZxJJHkmVARcuQVeM4jyq_232iHIVBMQThe SFW option uses the mesh and textures from Elegy's The Basics. As Elegy's permissions request model-only upscales, you will NEED to download the original modpack if you want to use the SFW options. It can be found here:

Piercings are currently unsupported, but any existing YAB & Rue belly piercings should work fine with these. I might add the simple nip piercings if there's any interest.
Feel free to use this edit in clothing upscales, or edit the chest model itself, as long as you credit me and the contributing authors, but I ask that you respect both the contributing authors' permissions as well as mine while doing so. I would like to emphasize the following of my permissions:
please do not make NSFW of minor-aged characters with this mod. Please do not make QoH/QoS/"blacked" content with this mod. Please do not make bestiality content with this mod. The rest of my perms apply as well. Thank you.
