[search] mod that add skin/age imperfections

[Fraying9981]

Seeking mod suggestions to add age and natural imperfection variety to female skins while keeping my current setup.

The goal is to further improve the randomness of body distribution types in a similar impact as Obody does (but obviously affecting a different type of game asset).

 

I’m using:

• Body type: 3BA

• Base skin: The Great BNP (very smooth/idealized, so everyone looks “perfect”)

• Overlay system: Overlay Distribution Framework (ODF), which can distribute any RaceMenu overlays

• Normals: Mudynamic Normal Map for dynamic body normals

• Body Distribution: Obody NG with ODF titkit, pubes

 

What I am looking for:

• More visual variety in female skin specifically related to natural features and aging, such as:

  • Freckles

  • Age lines / subtle wrinkles

  • Moles, birthmarks, mild discoloration, pores, general “imperfect” complexion

Constraints / clarifications:

• I know Skyrim has an Elder race with its own aged skin, but I don’t want to rely on race‑locked elder assets.

• I’m not looking for:

  • Tattoos

  • Warpaints

  • Scars or overt wound damage
    These don’t represent age or natural skin condition and aren’t what I’m after.

 

🙏🏻 Ask:

• Which RaceMenu overlay mods (or other assets) work well with ODF to add freckles, wrinkles/age, and subtle skin imperfections to otherwise “perfect” skins like Great BNP, without introducing tattoos/warpaints/scars?

• Bonus: Any tips or example configurations for ODF that focus purely on those natural‑skin overlays for female NPCs.

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I'm personally not in this kind of stuff so perhaps I shouldn't be posting here. I figured the percieved rarity of this info-nugget may make it worth mentioning however.

 

Ayleid Piercings, if you look at the screenshots, has stretch marks for tits. As far as I'm aware, this is a one of a kind custom texture. Like I said I'm not into this topic much myself but this is something I might try out, if it can be located/obtained. Even just for archiving it might be worth holding on to. Imperial2000 might still be around. Butter 'em up, and see if something gets released?

 

Happy treasure hunting!

Thanks. 

So since you can only have 1 skin texture type (by race), the idea is to use race menu overlays with odf to add imperfections on top, not texture replacements.

Look into RM skin overrides. There is no limit, at least until RM breaks, which unfortunately it has a tendency to do. If I were you I'd disregard what type of texture it is you're looking for. The tricky part here is making the texture, not making the texture compatible with X.
