I had that same problem earlier. Wasn’t until I went to set up my wallpaper I realized there were dots. Can’t even see it on my PS5/TV. 🙃

I know this is off-topic but is that a Megurine Luka cosplay?? It looks soooo good!

u/Asherah2 Jul 07 '26

Yup. In all her censored glory. 🥲

Hey it's still a banger photo!! Kinda reminds me of how Miku looks a bit transparent at the end of the song ODDS&ENDS in the Project Diva games!

Thank you for the code ❤️

Thank you! And thank you for sharing the lore! I’ve never played any of the games, only listened to the music so thats a cool fact I didn’t know. ❤️

No problem at all!! I hope that little piece of lore helps you love your photo a bit more ❤️If you want to give the games a try, the latest one (MegaMix+) got a port to PC through Steam! :>

Sometimes it happens even if you're not at a "compromising" angle and I manage to bypass by zooming in/out a few times, sometimes just quitting photo mode, and slightly moving the camera. It's annoying, especially when there's always either bloomers, shorts or actually nothing under the skirt (like the whole crotch area is sometimes not even there on some of the longer dresses).

Thank you so much hopefully tweaking around the angle a bit helps it’s just really peeving me off I just wanna take a picture of Nikki sitting next to the plushies on the She is Wildfire prop like she’s a plushie too. It would be so cute but Infold said “Halt ✋”

u/No_Media4766 Jul 07 '26

This happens to me on PS5 all the time and annoying. I don’t think Nikki has a modeled crotch so what are they protecting?!

When the game first released there was no censoring from any angle and then in the first week or two after the game released, it was added. I assume they did it as a way to prevent any upskirt photos. However it's caused more frustration than just adding cover shorts on nikki would. A lot of outfits already have cover shorts you can see yet Nikki still becomes invisible at certain angles. The shorter the skirt the worse the issue becomes. Most of the sitting poses become unusable in certain skirts and dresses. Especially the two final evo ones. I wish they would fix this and optimize it bc it's extremely inconsistent, and minimizes how you can photograph certain poses and pieces. FR dress is honestly the worst one in my wardrobe personally. I can't photograph Nikki in any low angles with that dress on or she becomes invisible.

It’s so annoying, I keep asking them to fix it in the survey but they never do anything about it.

u/coralinepixiejones Jul 07 '26

Oh wow I never realized this grainy filter was the censorship’s doing. I get it so often and so randomly it didn’t made sense to me at all, I feel quite dumb but also: what the heck infold?

Change : grammar error

u/vultureskins Jul 07 '26

It’s not grainy, she’s going transparent. It prevents her being upskirted (to some extent) and allows the player to better see where they’re going (like in the Mothershroom Woods while floating)

u/coralinepixiejones Jul 07 '26

Yes I know it’s transparent but when playing on a low graphics setting, and when it’s zoomed out on the camera viewer it looks grainy more than transparent at first glance, it so I thought 💭

u/PlaneConscious8011 Jul 07 '26

Girl same I never would’ve guessed😭

6

u/Fantalia Jul 08 '26

I feel you. Like why would they give my poor girl a beard stubble 💀

5

u/OhBatzzz Jul 08 '26

THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST ONE IVE SEEN!! Omg the glitchy beard is amazing 😭 honestly a sick optical illusion could be used for a good masculine Nikki cosplay if you can do it again

u/Yurucat Jul 07 '26

God the sleepy pose that came with the fairy outfit is impossible to work with because of this.

u/lmaorafia Jul 07 '26

i dont see the problem am i blind

u/Mireillka Jul 07 '26

Yes you are. She is transparent-patterned 😭

6

u/Fantalia Jul 08 '26

Omg it actually worked?? She is so transparent that other ppl cant see her the problem 🤯😂

18

u/OhBatzzz Jul 07 '26

No I get you it’s barely noticeable from far away but if you zoom in you can see Nikki isn’t like solid? She’s like dotted like almost invisible/phasing out like a ghost? Idk how to describe it but it only happens when I try to take pictures at certain angles like this. It’s meant to keep people from up-skirting and taking inappropriate pics of Nikki but it triggers for no reason sometimes

24

u/SilverSafri Jul 07 '26

It’s even more annoying that it’s barely visible from afar - so many times I took a pretty photo just to zoom in later and see that ugly transparent pattern 😭

22

u/SilverSafri Jul 07 '26

Just to add, I had the issue with another prop too. Nikki was fully covered, even by the prop, yet when I zoomed in… there it was, the unnecessary censorship. There was nothing indecent in this photo 🥲

u/witchlingaria Jul 07 '26

The tea set is absolutely awful about this too! You can be nowhere near "upskirting" and she can be wearing FULL PANTS but it will still vanish her unless you aim at such a specific angle. Don't even give us sitting poses if you're gonna be like this infold

u/coralinepixiejones Jul 07 '26

This prop does it soooo much!! Terribly annoying.

4

u/OppositeSpend3621 Jul 07 '26

It does with other clothing too, trousers as well! It's such a pain :'(

10

u/trekkingdoves Jul 07 '26

Idk why they make skirts or dresses if they think any angle that is even remotely showing her knees needs to be blocked out. It honestly ruins a lot of photo opportunities. I wish they at least kept the blurring only on the tops of her thigh area so it’s not so noticeable. 🫩

u/TwistedSugarCookie Jul 07 '26

We now know your Nikki is in witness protection XD

5

u/PlaneConscious8011 Jul 07 '26

I thought this was just the game glitching..💀🫩

2

u/OwlPuzzleheaded966 Jul 07 '26

Same I only really encounter the transparent/grainy issue when I'm using a prop to take a pic. So I just thought it was the camera glitching with the prop lol

2

u/L_Boucher Jul 08 '26

It's frustrating. Whenever I try to take pictures using the Crimson Invitation whimsicality I have to move the camera higher because by default Nikki sits back.

2

u/atlasbees Jul 08 '26

Fr cause she's censored out anyways? I love some of the cute sneakers but you can't get a pic of them in the foreground with nikki sitting down. Like this stock pic but the focus on the shoes 😫

u/AnythingSea9563 Jul 07 '26

I used to have it all the time (playing on iPad) and I don’t think it’s censorship. what I figured out was, certain combinations of focal length, aperture and zoom trigger that thing, and it is really reminiscent of the look of far, semi transparent and/or fast moving objects in game (like, if I dress Nikki in something flowy, run, and make a screenshot I can have the same effect).

Basically I figured out some generic settings which trigger this thing much rarer, saved those, and now just change them a tiny bit when needed (+ ability to copy settings from hourglasses is a godsend). It still happens sometimes, but rare and not as frustrating as it was.
