Description

This mod adds twelve sets of piercings to your game. One of them is a joint set containing all of them. Three of them are combinations of the different sets. The sets are

Eyebrow Ear Plugs Industrial Jestrum Nose Bridge Double Nose Bridge Septum Snake Bites

Update 21/4: Added an optional BSA archive, along with four new sets;

Double Snake Bites Ring Snake Bites Spider Bites Spike Eyebrow

Update 24/4: Added six more sets;

Nose Bridge Spike Septum Spike Lip Spike Vertical Labret Neck Corset Forehead Corset

Update 26/4: Added an optional plugin that makes piercings craftable.

Installation

Either through NMM or manually, unpack the archive into your skyrim directory, activate the plugin in the launcher. You'll find them all in a dwarven jewelry box in either the Arch-Mage's Quarters in the College of Winterhold, next to a pair of ugly boots on a dresser, or in QASmoke on a table. All of the files take up body slot 44 and won't be replacing any vanilla helmets or circlets or other headwear your character has equipped, it may possibly replace items from other mods though. This mod is Humans and Humanoids only, if you're unable to see the piercings try picking different morphs.

Combinations

To avoid this conflicting with other mods I had installed that add cloaks and amulets and scarves and etc etc, I didn't want it to take up more than one body slot. Meaning you can't have more than one set of piercings equipped at a time, aside from the combos of course. If you're settling for those three combos and you don't want to combine anything else, that's great. If you do, you need to install nifskope because I think it's unnecessary for me to make 100 combos trying to guess how people want them when you could just make them yourself with complete freedom and control over the outcome.

You'll find instructions here.

I.e. I won't be making more combos, so please don't request any in the comments.

Note: I named the mod Facial Piercings for a reason, please don't request any bellybutton or genital or etc etc piercings.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture/model mod, use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting conflicts.

  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, this old mod might need conversion; look for a compatible version or use Cathedral Assets Optimizer.
