📋 About This Mod
DISCLAIMER: This mod is a modder's resource now. You are free to use them for your own modding shenanigans, the only thing I ask - please mention that you used my assets and provide the links to my mods.
Yes, I’m sharing my baby. Please be gentle with her, she is very dear to my heart. I should warn you that her complexion is detailed and much sharper than what I had previously done before. Also she is probably the most realistic of them all. Anyways she is not smooth, especially in some lighting, but she looks good imho. I spent the longest on her. Comes with scars and without scars. But since its for my established character I’m not changing anything more about her, please don’t ask.
Since this has come up several times - Tess is a skinny twig elf :)
Mods she uses: Longer hair and scar-less complexion: Yennefer complexion V02 - real version with only black eyeliner, or Tess no scars complexion here Eyelashes by me Eyes by ramccoid Eyebrows by settrah Hair by Cos86 Hair re-tex by Skaramoosh Warpaint by Sho
Shorter hair and scarred complexion: Scarred complexion here Eyelashes by me Eyes by ramccoid Eyebrows by settrah Hair by guidethisonekalaheria Hair re-tex by Skaramoosh No tattoo option for elves
Saves are up, two in total: 1. At the beginning of prologue on the starting bridge. She has longer darker hair, blue stripe instead of vallaslin and the non-scarred complexion, the scars are from the stock ones. 2. In Haven next to Cassandra. Ligher shorter hair, no tattoos on face, complexion is scarred, the stock scars were removed.
She is called Tessa and she is an archer. The name is very simple and very human on purpose. Its not supposed to be elven. Please dont ask me to recreate her for a different class or name. I have trouble recreating my own characters so they always end up one of a kind.
