I recently changed from Robert's body mod to Breeze because I'm tired of the weird elbow crease, but now all male characters (player and NPC) that wear armor added with a mod have a gray streak on their right arm and weird textures on the wrist. I've reset ArchiveInvalidation numerous times, deactivated and reactivated the mod three times, downloaded every fix provided, but the weird arm textures are still there. Does anyone know of any fixes?

Edit: Same color of gray on arms is also on all fingers.

I have this problem too when the armor isn't compatible with Breeze body replacer when armor or clothing mods are sleeveless. I've been wanting to know how to make them compatible so I can fix them myself. Hope someone here can help you, which would help me out too.

That usually happens if the apparel you're using is not for breeze, which are likely to be either vanilla or roberts. Discolorations happens on limbs. Apparently there's no mod fix because the way breeze's skin textures is setup/layed-out, it's just way too different from vanilla & roberts. Although, you can get away with other body type apparel if they cover up the body good. I myself had to disable breeze to play DUST for it came with it's own custom apparel which is vanilla. Some mods like DUST takes over everything, including apparel replacers .

The above is correct. Breezes creator made some changes to the bodies and they aren't compatible from my understanding. There are limited fixes. These are find patches for the armors you are using, open up Breezes and basically recreate or make the changes to it to be compatible with standard armors and such or stay with Roberts which as I understand it is compatible as the creator of that mod didn't change the bodies which forced the need for Breezed armor patches.

Good news is you might be able to learn how others have made these patches and then patch the offending armors to use.

Each of those body replacers has a unique UV/texture layout, and thus armors for one won't be compatible with the other.

Install this

this is full replacer with armor patches for game armors.

Too bad the OP is using FO3.

Sorry for not responding, but even mods intended for use with Breeze cause this. Caesar's New Regime (quick shout-out to Dragbody for that great mod), which has Breeze as a requirement has the same weird texture issues. TTW has some armors that don't cause it and some that do, mainly the raider armors which have no issues in New Vegas. Is there a way to force a mod to rely on Breeze without having to completely rebuild it?

With proper patches a body that has been designed to work with Breezes should work. You shouldn't be having this problem with Dragbody's Breezes based armor mods. have you applied all the armor patches for Breezes after the main mods have been installed? Perhaps something gotten overwritten that shouldn't has since you have reapplied the archive invalidated numerous times.
