Sorry, no, there's not an API call for that. Installing and removing tat packs mid-game is a more manual endeavor.

Pretty cool!

Yeah, there's no SlaveTatsGUI.dll here. That must be some third party thing, I've never ever heard of it.

There's a RaceMenu ini file which can disallow face tats or set their number to zero. It's a bigger problem in SE where the settings disallow the tats by default, but even on LE it's worth checking given the problem you're having.

SlaveTats View File SlaveTats The tattoo toolkit for Skyrim Latest update (2022-09-05): Uploaded version 1.3.8 SE (note: SlaveTats is now ESL-flagged) Features: SlaveTats lets you: Select tattoos for the player character Select tattoos for NPCs (works best if they have a name) Select the color of the tattoos Make the tattoos glow in the dark Choose between matte and glossy tattoos Apply magical tattoos (for example, the Dibellan Defender tattoo pack) Add and remove tattoo packs without messing around in the SlaveTats source code. No need to compile. If you're a mod author, you can lock tattoos onto characters, so that they can only be removed by a mod. If you change the number of overlays in nioverride.ini, SlaveTats will change how many tattoo slots it provides. For users: Getting started is easy. Make sure you have the requirements: Legendary Edition: JContainers, RaceMenu (or NetImmerse Override), SkyUI, and SKSE. Special Edition: JContainers, RaceMenu, SkyUI, and SKSE SE Just download SlaveTats and uncompress it into the Skyrim data folder. I recommend using Mod Organizer or Nexus Mod Manager to simplify that process, but you can just open the file in 7-Zip if you prefer. Start Skyrim. You'll have a SlaveTats menu under the SkyUI's Mod Configuration Menu On the Setup tab, select the character you want to tattoo Choose a tattoo section, then a specific tattoo. Pick color, glow and gloss if you like, or leave them with their defaults With version 1.3.5 or higher, after adding or removing tattoo packs, you need to click the add/remove button in the setup section of the SlaveTats MCM menu. This allows SlaveTats to re-compile its index of installed tattoos. [*]Exit the SlaveTats menu. Your tattoos will appear in a moment. The included selection of tattoos is very limited, but never fear! SlaveTats supports tattoo packs, and there are a bunch of them on the download page. Pick the ones that interest you, and install them the same way you installed SlaveTats itself. Now, your selection of tattoos is much wider. The tattoo packs in the download section are: Some tattoo packs are hosted externally: Translations: Chinese translation is in the files ending with _CN. If you don't speak Chinese, you should not install those. 感谢silentdark的汉化。中文版的文件在下载页面中以_CN结尾。 For Artists: Making your own tattoo packs is easy. If you've made a tattoo pack and would like to have it hosted in the SlaveTats download section, just drop me a private message. For modders: SlaveTats now provides an API for modders to use. You can add, remove and search for tattoos through SlaveTats, which saves you the hassle of dealing with overlays on your own, and gets you things like tattoo packs and enchanted tattoos for free. This API is documented (and implemented) in SlaveTats.psc and you can feel free to PM murfk if you want to discuss it. For a lot of uses, the high-level API will be all you need. It's easy! Here's an example of how to use the low-level SlaveTats API, if you need more control: Submitter murfk Submitted 01/13/2014 Category Sexual Content Requires JContainers, RaceMenu (or NiOverride), SkyUI, SKSE Special Edition Compatible Yes
