📋 About This Mod
I've seen a couple other mods that add Draconic Scales but they tend to have issues like adding scales to companions. This will not happen with this mod.
NOTES
-
[]You Must Use the Magic Mirror - When you start a new game you will not see Draconic Bloodline in Character Creation. To see this option, you need to use the Magic Mirror.
[
]Scale Colors - When selecting the scale color, you will see 5 custom colors that I have added. You'll need to select "All Draconic Colours" to view default colors as well as any mod added colors.[]Scales for Companions/Origin - If you use Appearance Edit Enhanced, you will be able to add scales to companions and when playing as an origin character.
[]No Need to Uninstall for Draconic Sorcerers - You can still play as a Draconic Sorcerer with this mod installed without any issues. You will just see an extra passive. So if you tend to start the game over and over again with the same modlist, no need to uninstall.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and lightweight—does exactly what it says with no bloat.
- Decent community traction (155 endorsements, 5,171 downloads) for a niche cosmetic.
- No gameplay impact—pure visual flair for dragon fans.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in October 2024—may not be compatible with future game patches.
- Limited to a single cosmetic effect; no customization options like color or pattern.
For players who want to give their character draconic scales without overhauling the game. If you're into role-playing as a dragonkin or just want a subtle visual tweak, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for more extensive character customization or gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have access to the Magic Mirror in-game—it's typically found in your home or via certain quests.
- If the scales don't appear, check that the mod is enabled and try re-equipping the racial feature.
- Since this is a cosmetic mod, it should be safe to add or remove mid-playthrough, but always test on a save you don't mind losing.
