✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 5,102 endorsements and over 107k downloads—clearly a lot of players dig it.
- Does exactly what it says: bigger tails, no fuss, no extra bloat.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter Argonian meshes.
- Only affects tail size; if you're looking for more Argonian customization, this won't add anything else.
- No screenshots or detailed instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you test it.
For Argonian players who think the default tails are too small and want a quick visual upgrade. Also for mod collectors who appreciate classic, simple cosmetic mods. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a full Argonian overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only changes meshes, it's compatible with most mods, but if you use other Argonian body mods, load order might matter—place this after them to ensure the tail mesh wins.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, this old mod might need conversion; check the comments for user patches or use a mod manager to handle it.
- Test in-game by creating a new Argonian character or using the console to see the tail size change immediately.
