Skin Details: Razor Bumps (Patreon)

Content
This skin detail adds razor bumps to your sim to simulate the appearance of shaved body hair.
FEATURES & DETAILS:
1) Razor bumps are available for a sim's chest, groin and butt. All styles are available to both male and female sims, so you can make your sim look however you want!
2) The razor bumps are an overlay, not a body hair. Why? Well, I didn't want to force every player to see razor bumps as part of the game's hair growth system. Also, this set-up allows razor bumps to be paired with any body hair shapes for more visual variety!
3) Designed to work with 2.0 body hair. The razor bumps sit almost invisibly under the largest hair designs, or they can be paired with smaller/unique hair for a partially shaved appearance.
4) The bumps are available in two swatches. Razor bumps currently come in two styles - a slightly more mottled swatch, or a slightly more opaque swatch.
Although the bumps were designed to work with my 2.0 default skin replacements, they should be compatible with other CC skins.
Razor bumps are available for male and female sims, and can be found in the Body Scars area.
MAJOR UPDATE NOTE: Previously, razor bumps were found in Body Skin Details; the 2024-01-09 update moves razor bumps to Body Scars for better organization of future skin details/overlays.
The Body Scar razor bumps do NOT replace or conflict with the Body Skin Detail version.
I opted to do this to try and minimize issues with the user experience. If I changed the CAS location of the bumps, they would become unselectable in CAS - but still show up on your sim - and you would have to remove all Skin Details and re-add them in order to clear them from your sim.
This way allows you to add bumps to your sims in a (hopefully) less messy way.
If you have the older version of the bumps installed, you can either:
1) Remove the file from your /Mods folder. The bumps will disappear from all sims in your game and you will receive a pop-up telling you content was removed when you next load CAS/Live mode.
2) Manually remove the bumps from any sims who have them via CAS, save your game (or save the sims to your library if they only exist in CAS) and exit, then remove the mod.
I really hate to change content this way after publishing, because I know most people prefer to have content that updates on their sims automatically. I'm sorry for the hassle but I hope that this method is both less annoying to deal with in CAS and will allow for better structure of future skin details that I'm planning to make.
As a final note - I tried making these for armpits but the quality wasn't very good. If I can improve the visual enough to share, I'll add them to a future update.
CHANGELOG:
2024-01-09: Moved the razor bumps to Body Scars, rather than Body Skin Details (if you were using these before now, you may want to read the entire post, or at least the Major Update Note). Added razor bumps for chest and butt. Added a more mottled swatch for each region for a slightly more realistic appearance.
