How about adding a menu in mcm just to choose weather nails for hands and toes should be enabled with colors choices of course you can use my textures !

Hey murfk, Is there anyway to make the tattoos less blocky and make them smoother?

Cheers!

Great mod! I was just wondering though if the tats are meant to disappear after a combination of changing cells and saving and loading, because it seems they disappear and I need to reapply them onto NPCs. Is this happening to anyone else? Or perhaps this is some compatibility issue I haven't worked out.

That's not normal, nor is it how it's supposed to work.

There is a way, but it's not something I'm going to do. The blockiness is coming from the fact that the tattoo textures are 1024x1024, a size I chose because higher resolutions turned out to waste quite a lot of storage space. An early version of this mod only had a few tattoos at higher resolution. It took up 3 gigs for what was, essentially, a few words. It was the least effecient text encoding I've ever heard of. With the current size of the tattoo catalog, the size of the mod would be ridiculous at higher resolutions.

really awesome mod but the images are all super low resolution. They look pixelated. If the images were not compressed I would increase the resolution myself would take like 5 mins.

I made a request and you went above and beyond... most excellent. Hats off to you Sir!

Upon further testing, it seems that this issue doesn't exist for my PC or regular NPCs, wherein tattoos show up normally after load after a brief pause as the script starts. However, upon NPCs I've enslaved using the Paradise Halls mod the tats don't reappear.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that Paradise Halls creates a copy of the actor to hold all the quest aliases from its slavery system? The problems I'm encountering exist only with these copied NPCs that have their refIDs begin with ff instead of regular base game NPCs.

That might be the problem. It depends on whether Paradise Halls discards and recreates those copies on game load, or possibly on something PH does when creating them that breaks one of the assumptions of NiOverride.

Would you be willing to investigate further? I don't mean dig into the code, but I could use more facts to work with.

One of my companions don't accept tatoos too. Currently investigating.

Its only hostile NPC's that you enslave that don't work.

I managed to enslave novice fire mage when i was in Morsvunker (however you spell it) and I can't tattoo her

Did the same to Carlotta in Whiterun (annoyed me) and I can tattoo on her.

I think these are to do with when I tried on the novice fire mage
