📋 About This Mod

Description: You, are Dragonborn. Touched by the gods, you carry the blood of Akatosh\' childeren in your vains and wield their power against all who would oppose you. You are the Listener, the Harbinger and the thane of many holds. You have slain mighty monsters, brought peace to the lands of skyrim and pierced the veil twixt life and death. And for all your trials and tribulations.......you haven\'t but a single sctratch to show for your efforts. B. I (or Body Imperfect) Phenotypes is a female body texture replacer mod, with the overall goal of providing gritty, realistic textures for the female protaganists of skyrim. Although I would like to expand upon the idea of \"Class Specific\" body texures, for the time being the \"Phenotypes\" reference is more of a place holder than anything, to help me, and you keep track of all the various texture sets, of which there are many. The decision to incorporate phenotypes into this mod was made shortly after beginning this project, which was originally intended as a massive overhall of my other mod \"Body Imperfect\" But, as the project grew it became to large to upload as a single or body selective file. So rather than restructure my exsisting mod I opted for a fresh start and a new mod entirley. This mod is broken up into several sets or \"Phenotypes\", each on refering to one of the four common player classes found in most RPGs, like the \"Mage\" (or mystic, priest, healer, wizard take your pick) the \"Blade Master\" (warrior, assassin, rogue) the \"Barbarian\" (berzerker, slayer, heavy knight) and the \"Archer\". Each texture set has been desighed to reflect the nuances of it\'s perspective phenotype, replete with the wounds and scars one would expect from either a hammer wielding barbarian or a fire blazing sorceress, ect. These textures were also desighned with grit and realism in mind, and I\'ve gone to great lengths in an attempt to create truly unique textures you won\'t find anywhere else. I hope you enjoy my work and I thank you for your support. Installation: At first glance the file structure seems a bit over whelming, but it\'s simpler than it looks so I\'ll keep this short and sweet. This mod contains four phenotypes and one base texture set with three versions, one for each body that this mod supports, each Phenotype (archer, barbarian, blade master, sorceress) and their percpective download contain several sub-folders contained within the main \"data\" folder. Inside the \"Standard Textures\" folder you will find all the baisc textures for the head, hand and body, before you do anything else, copy and paste these files to your skyrim data directory along the following folder path (textures, actors, character, female). After you have installed those, go back to your phenotype download and open the \"Optional files\" folder. Inside this folder you will find the various options available for each texture set. Once you\'ve perused your optio
