📋 About This Mod

Patch #7 compatible

I've had a lot of yet to be uploaded projects I've been working on and off. However, I recently had a massive data loss due to my own complacency trusting my hard drive, and having no backups. Vast majority of my mods and all my work templates have been lost with little to no possibility of recovery. This is one of the few mods where I lost the templates but managed to save the final textures themselves. So I'm uploading them here currently as they are, unlikely to do any changes to them any time soon.

What does this mod do?

It seamlessly transfers the humanoid body type 3 textures to gith body type 1. I considered this a decent compromise of still looking athletic, but not worn and torn thanks to the harshness of githyanki society. Probably not lore friendly, but that's okay, I originally set out to do this for my own OC plans.

Speaking of, I made an alternative version that comes with custom scars. If you're curious about the ideas behind these scars, and what they were intended to convey (be advised it gets a fair bit detailed):

  • []The back is covered in old lashing scars, to try and discipline her for being slippery, and not willing to take the hits or dish them out. They're not as prominent as they can be in real life for the amount of cruelty the githyanki would practice, but I tried my best to make it realistic.

    []The most prominent scar on the front is a result of an attempted execution, where she was first cut through the belly, to force her to fall on her knees. I used one of Wyll's scars hoping to make it look believable.

  • The faint scar on the chest is where her would-be executioner thrust their blade, while she was helplessly trying to hold in her guts. Before her heart could be pierced however, an eldritch being responding to her psychic screams of agony intervened, didn't let the blade go all the way through, and empowered her to

    escape her execution. I've also taken this impact scar from Wyll.

If you want to interpret these differently for your own character, you're welcome to! Also please note, the intensity of the scars will depend on the skintones you select. I used wood tone 4 in my screenshots, which is somewhat less saturated than other green skin tones, like say, orcish green.

Requirements and recommendations:

Trips' Old Shaders and Player and NPC - Old Shaders, as otherwise these textures won't apply.

Unique Tav if you want to keep these textures unique to yourself.

Body Tattoo Switcher if you're using UTAV, as it'll allow you to reapply your spots conveniently.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you're using the in-game mod manager or a mod manager like Vortex to avoid conflicts with other texture mods.
  • If you're using the scarred version, check how it looks with your character's face paint—scars might clash with certain tattoos.
  • Since it's a texture replacer, it should work with most other mods, but always check for updates after game patches.
