It is highly recommended to fully read the official description pages of the following Texture Frameworks and the respective Body Mods on Nexus Mods - as further information can be found and also to keep track of any updates.
Since CDPR utilizes the same texture paths and texture files for V and NPCs, Texture Frameworks are used to give V separate texture files from NPCs, allowing you to edit V’s skin or tattoos without your edit affecting for example, Judy, River, or crowd NPCs.
For clarity's sake, below is also documented V's original/vanilla texture layouts and paths, that are shared with NPCs. In addition to what was stated earlier, the options to create desired looks is very limited using this vanilla way.
The original texture UV Layouts CDPR utilizes for Player V:
The earliest initial texture framework by Halvkyrie for Player Female V. This mod makes the player arms use separate textures, allowing for different custom tattoos on each arm without the former limitation of mirroring.
Unique Arms utilizes the following texture UV Layouts for Arms:
Also known as "UV" or "KS-UV" was created by Zosoab70 and AllKnowingLion, and released by their team account, "KnowSo". The UV Framework was the first full body and arm texture framework. The base version is designed for players to be able to make their character as unique as they'd like while also allowing for modders to easily create their textures for the body and arms from a single file instead of having to use multiple. Following the 4.1 update, however, modders will have the option to utilize alternate layouts for the arms that are formatted more closely to the vanilla structuring.

(F) Solo 2.0 (Unreleased)

(F) Songbird Body
(F) Vanilla Plus
(F) Vanilla High Feet (Alternate UV Framework base body file)
(F) Freyja
(M) Adonis
(M) Atlas
(M) Titan Body (Unreleased)
Following the 4.0 Update, the UV Framework is compatible with ALL body mods, regardless of framework.
UV Texture Framework's base version utilizes the following Full-Body texture layouts:
The texture files for UV are separated by body gender. UV Texture Framework resources can be found on nexus - Miscellaneous files Section.
A detailed "how to" guide can be found in the UV Texture Framework resources files, along with .PNG files for the uv layouts for the body and arms. For further questions, troubleshooting, and community-sourced resources go to the KS Discord server.
Also known as "VTK" created by xBaebsae, is a framework that focuses on giving HD Skin textures and Tattoo textures for the body, feet, arms and head for Player V. It integrates Halvkyrie's Unique Arms paths, and its structure expands for more customizability.

Resources for texture conversion concerning Gymfiend - Male V, can be found at the Miscellaneous files Section.
Primarily, the basic difference is the UV layout of the body/arm textures between the base version of the UV Framework, and VTK. Beyond that other features include:
