📋 About This Mod
Edhildils Argonian CBBE Skin Texture Author: Edhildil 11,26,2012 ver1 This is a female Argonian CBBE Skin Texture replacer, as the vanilla texture had missing/blank/invisible areas. I made it from the vanilla texture. Body in screenshot compare is optional file from Edhildils Skimpy Clothing and Armor mod Use this for any Caliente mod (CBBE armor, clothes, or body) It is required that you have those kinds of mods to use this texture correctly. USE THE LOW RES FILE if you are getting the pixelated purple vomit skin, or lower your display setting. Unzip then copy/paste into your \\\\\\\"skyrim\\\\\\\" folder(without the quotes). this should add the following files: argonianfemalebody.dds argonianfemalebody_msn.dds argonianfemalebody_s.dds into this folderpath: Data\\\\\\\\textures\\\\\\\\actors\\\\\\\\character\\\\\\\\argonianfemale Delete these files: argonianfemalebody.dds argonianfemalebody_msn.dds argonianfemalebody_s.dds from this folder: Data\\\\\\\\textures\\\\\\\\actors\\\\\\\\character\\\\\\\\argonianfemale The seams are not 100% perfect as I \\\\\\\"eyeballed\\\\\\\" it in Gimp 2. In some cases its barely, and I mean barely, noticable, but its a lot better than what I had and as I briefly looked for Argonian textures on the Interwebs and found very little I went for it. Bethesda for original textures Edhildil for the texture rework Tools: ======================== Gimp 2 FOMM Use at will, you do not need permission from me, this is for any and all whom wish to use it, just give me proper credits if you use my work in your mod, cheers! -E
