 * '''Q: I get a black screen after installing an uncensor!'''<br>A: Make sure your game is fully up to date and use the uncensor provided on the pastebin.
 * '''Q: Uncensor looks weird in half off state'''<br>A: Clothing tops have a built in body model. If the uncensor is not built into the top itself you'll get a flat texture. The majority of clothing top mods will have this issue. Nothing you can do aside from removing the top.
-* '''Q: Baisanfe hair are transparent!'''<br>A: Potential fix: Install IBL and set reflection intensity to 0 in the lighting tab. Experimental features must be disabled.
+* '''Q: Baisanfe hair are transparent!'''<br>A: Potential fix: Install IBL (image based lighting mod) and set reflection intensity to 0 in the lighting tab. Experimental features must be disabled.
 * '''Q: Studio is in Japanses after loading an IBL scene'''<br>A: In Plugins/UITranslation/PlayHomeStudio/Text rename Studio.1.txt to something like global.txt

 ==Updating an Existing Game==
-So you probably obtained a repack of the game that already has updates applied and you're not sure if your game is fully updated. If the game reports a version below 1.4 then ignore this section (you'll need every update). If your game is version 1.4 then all you need is phomeex_01_plus_0223 for the main game. If your game already has a version of studio installed then grab ALL 6 of the studio updates and apply them in the proper order.

If your game already has a version of studio installed then grab ALL 6 of the studio updates and apply them in the proper order. If you are missing studio from the start you'll need to apply studio base first.
 Disclaimer: As with any repack you are trusting that the creator of said repack has properly applied updates to the game.
