About this mod
Removes blur from Zois in shower and other places where it is used by the game. Doesn't leave shadows from the blur sphere on Zois and surfaces in mirrors - the common issue that some users experience with other blur removal mods.

But, Why to Create Another Shower Blur Removal Mod?
All existing blur removal mods or nudity mods with included blur removal feature has one common issue - they don't work well with reflections. Most of these mods have shadows cast from the blur sphere visible in mirrors, and at least one mod shows opaque sphere over Zoi's body in mirrors (see images).
Edit: apparently not everybody experiences this issue with shadows and reflections (one person told me they've never had such issues, but I've had them since the release), so try using this mod if you have the issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What this mod does differently?
v.1.1.x
Doesn't use custom MI anymore. Instead, replaces actor Blueprint (BP) for blur FX with an empty actor BP.
v.1.0.x - Deprecated. Left as a possible alternative in case v.1.1.x stops working in the future
Instead of replacing original material instance (MI) with custom material that uses different blend mode (translucent or masked), this mod recreates original MI and overrides parameters of master material with zero values, i.e. the custom MI works the same way the original one does, but instead of setting, let's say, blur strength to 40, it sets it to 0.
Has an issue where under some angles a small light sphere could be seen in ZOI's pelvis area (in place of a socket where animations attach the actor to show the blur).
Compatibility
Compatible with:
Any mods without or with blur removal. If a mod uses their own blur removal based on material instance swap, their blur material just won't be used.
Incompatible with:
None that are known to me (released on and before 2025-04-17).
Makes following changes to game's files:
Changes BP_Mosaic asset.
