kissofthehell Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Ive been looking around nexus and LL to find a way to set the player race to use unique path for the textures so if i apply a tattoo mod i wont get all female characters tattooed. Can someone point me to a quick easy guide or mod that does not require "master" skills in modding. And if possible if there is a way without using custom races so i can avoid setting all skills to their proper values.
TheOniNinja Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I use this mod for that purpose: Dragonborn Body. It lets you use independent textures and normals for the player character using the vanilla races, so you can add tattoos, scars or whatever. It can't do face textures right out of the box though, unfortunately.
kissofthehell Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 I saw there is 1 version with both meshes and textures and another verison with just tuxtures. Does that mean its possible to use different body meshes too ?
Sokarey Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37546/? you can change meshes and textures only works for female characters though as far as I know

Yeah if you use the version with meshes, just find the DragonbornBody folder in both meshes and textures and replace the files for whichever race you use.
air4lif3 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 i use this and i am able to use custom animations and body meshes and texture custom races http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8720/? pc exclusive animation path http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14871/?
Swiftstep Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 i use this and i am able to use custom animations and body meshes and texture custom races http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8720/? pc exclusive animation path http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14871/? Also my advice: Custom Races & RaceCompatibility Those mods work this way (I'm guessing, cause I'm not an expert): they have a BSA / master-file that points toward meshes and texture files that are safed in a different location than standard files. Therefore you for example can leave the vanilla races and NPCs untouched while your race has a different look. After installing just search the folders for texture and *.nif files and there you go. Really, it's not big deal. Just search, understand the structure (where to put what file) and then it's copy & paste.
Suludi Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 You can also use Unique Character. I haven't been able to get it to work with Mod Organizer though.
Setekh Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 You can do this with Racemenu and Racemenu Overlay without having to mess around with custom player races. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29624/?
kissofthehell Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 I know the mod i used the tatto from was for RM Overlay. I manually put it on the body textures due to RM messing my ECE face way too much to the point of not being able to recreate.
sunhawken Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 You can also use Unique Character. I haven't been able to get it to work with Mod Organizer though. It works just fine with MO.
