The reason this doesn't happen with shirts and bras is because they have a different image for each breast size. Accessories like this (and also pants, skirts, panties) have only one image that looks perfectly fine when the boobs are smaller. It makes me wonder if the really big breast sizes were not added until later.
I've seen the same issue, in particular with this pose, and it was either pants or skirts now you mention it. I had not seen it happen with this accessory before.

Love this game and the 1st iteration...only reason I stopped playing it was bc the women and interactions are too small and hard to see, comparatively. Has there been any MODS or improvements made in this area?

I use the growth serum to make them bigger for that reason

Clothing are separate images that are overlayed onto the body.

The characters in LR2 are built piece-wise in the exact same manner that 2D artists use (i.e. The Null Hypothesis). Every body type, face type, hair, emotion, breast type, article of clothing, skin color, cum splatter, and position/stance are all rendered individually and then stitched together to create the models you see. For one position (i.e. stand 4), there are 5317 images that can be used in combination to make any given character.

As for how many images are used for a single piece of clothing? 1200. Starbuck created her own custom cop uniform for Christine, so the number I just mentioned is for the blouse piece. Clipping issues like the one from Draak are a consequence for the versatility in creating characters, scenes, and wardrobes.

To put it mildly: Vren built his own engine within Ren'Py for something he probably intended to use to create endless content.

Here's hoping it gets fixef when they add even bigger sizes (hoping for this too lol)

There's one scripted event where Ashley's in your office, and then Stephanie comes in. Ashley hides under the desk and sucks you off while Stephanie is talking to you; the game illustrates this by moving Ashley's model to the middle of the screen and making it larger. I glanced at the decompiled code, and it was just a simple like "make this character larger" kind of command, nothing elaborate at all. So it seems like it should be possible for a modder to make something that adds that type of command every time a character shows up (or at least at the start of a generic sex event), but I wouldn't have any clue how to go about that.

This is why I laugh every time I hear someone new is "working on updating the models" or adding clothing, or even just faces. Since I don't play the mod I haven't seen the cop uniform but props to Starbuck for putting the work in

It's kinda shocking to me that Vren ever put that much work in on it to begin with. They did such a good job making flat, pre-rendered images look like dynamic 3D, and their reward for all that effort was people thinking it was an easy thing that could be added to without much effort. o_O

If you check the discord, there's some progress on the graphics rework, but it seems like slow progress. Someone has created a new DAZ model and there's new body renders, but no-one has recreated the massive amount of clothing images to overlay on top of them.

Ditto recreating Vren's pipeline to automate the rendering in DAZ. Hardly anyone remembers that the point of the badly received Live2D system was to get rid of almost all of the rendering pipeline and replace thousands of images files with image manipulation in the engine.

okay, I was just told I can use Aura serums now, but there's no difference on the serum or trait page. How do you activate the ability to use aura serums?

Talk with Ashley, there is an option in the third column to talk about the male serums and change them. If you do not have that option yet you need another event with her.

The latest developer build, as of 15 minutes ago, compiled with the current mods -> Virgin Tracker, Kaden, Kina, moresomes, and the new, very large, 0.62 RealPornMod; already integrated within. A few more minor fixes from the last upload. It's 4gigs.
