📋 About This Mod

Diverse Khajiit will NOT work without Tamriel_Data installed. The AnimKit should no longer be necessary to see tails. Please comment if you still experience problems while using Tamriel_Data v26. 08 (August 2026 release). I highly recommend using this mod alongside my other mod All Races and Classes Enabled - Vanilla and Tamriel_Data so that you can also select the Khajiit subtypes as playable races.

Below is a full list of the NPCs edited by this mod. Besides their race, no part of these NPCs has been changed, aside from giving vanilla shoes to several of the newly plantigrade Khajiit. Faces/hairs are kept similar to vanilla when possible.

New Khajiit types you may find:

[]Cathay - Khajiit as seen in TES IV and TES V. They have tails, and can wear shoes. (NOTE - due to issues with the TD models, Cathay do not currently have tails. There is not a fix for this at this time.)[/]

[]Cathay-Raht - these are the largest bipedal Khajiit. They look like huge versions of the vanilla Khajiit. They have tails, and cannot wear shoes.[/]

[]Ohmes - Khajiit as seen in TES I. They look a lot like elves from a distance. They can wear shoes.[/]

[]Ohmes-Raht - Khajiit as seen in TES II. They look kind of like Ohmes, but a bit fuzzier. Ohmes-Raht have tails and can wear shoes.[/]

[]Suthay - Small Khajiit who look a bit like smaller versions of the vanilla Khajiit, right down to the heads and tails, but they can wear shoes.[/]

[]Dagi-Raht - New in October 2023 version! These short-furred Khajiit have a very unique look, with wide eyes and almost skeletal figures. They have tails and cannot wear shoes.[/]

[]Tojay - New in August 2026 version! These thick-furred Khajiit resemble Manul cats. They can wear shoes but often do not.[/]

[]Additionally, two NPCs in Vvardenfell with already-fitting names  are now Reachmen, the people of the stormy borderlands between Skyrim, High Rock, and Hammerfell.[/]

[]Two other Bretons  with appropriate vanilla names are now Riverfolk, the people of the Bjoulsae Basin between High Rock and Hammerfell.[/]

[]As another added bonus, some nameless Khajiit Quarra vampires are now spooky vampiric Dagi-Rahts. These will give you a fright!

This mod does not break Khajiit-style dialogue! All Khajiit should talk in the usual Khajiit speech patterns.

==============================================================================================================================

All credit for the Khajiit subtype race models and heads goes to the original asset creators and the custodians of Tamriel_Data in general. Specifically, these are the asset creators who (as far as I'm aware) contributed to the variant Khajiit races:

[]Kynesifnar (overhauls and improvements to all TD Khajiit)
