📋 About This Mod
DISCLAIMER: This mod is a modder's resource now. You are free to use them for your own mods, the only thing I ask - please mention that you used my assets and provide the links to my mods. I will likely no longer be updating or maintaining my mods, thank-you for all your kind words and awesome screenshots I do really appreciate it!
A collection of tattoos I have made for my fallout 4 characters. I decided to release them so others can enjoy them as well plus I have a tendency to lose things so all in all it seems like a win.
Huge thank-you and full credit to fuse00 who allowed me to apply my tattoos to their wonderful Valkyr Face Textures (v 1. 1) & Ida Body Texture (Default).
I did these as skin overlays as most of them include neck tattoos and/or back of neck tattoos and as far as I know this is the easiest/only way to do it so it is unique to your character only. I tried to minimize seams as best I can but matching the hand/face and body textures can be very frustrating lol.
This mod requires LooksMenu, CBBE & F4SE.
Known Issues
-
[]When loading a game your character may be missing their body tattoos/texture (the ones in your basehumanfemale folder will show) just equip a different outfit or unequip then reequip your outfit and the tattoos will show up again, the same thing can happen when making a new character and exiting character creation -> There is no fix for this as far as I can see.
[
]After applying the skin override it causes your character's facial features to change so I suggest you go into the body first apply the skin override then make your character. I looked in the LooksMenu comment thread and others have this issue too.[]If you have all them installed you may experience lag in LooksMenu depending on your set up
[]Cannot have multiple tattoos in one esp as only the first tattoo will load in Looksmenu
Please note these textures pull the default hand normal map and body map from your textures folder (ie textures-> actors->character->basehumanfemale folder). If you wish to add custom normal maps just open the .esp in the creation kit and search for KALA in the textureset section and add to the hand and body texture files.
I am not taking requests for certain body textures as I have provided the means for you to do this yourself and I do not have time at the moment to make them for everybody texture available. I do not plan on adding vanilla or janebody textures at this time either as the bodies are much different and would require me to remake a large portion of the tattoos.
