📋 About This Mod

This mod includes 11 different HD textures for for vanilla based werewolf meshes. Works with both The howling' and 'La Femme Lycana' (Not compatible with Apex Werewolf).

Packs available on DL page for both Automatic Variants and Moonlight Tales - Werewolf Essentials. __________________________________

These textures aim to bring a little bit of the 'humanoid' side of the werewolf out, by allowing some racial traits of the player character to show through while in beast form. There is a texture for each default Skyrim race plus Albino and Husky colours, though do feel free to choose any you like for your Character! Unfortunately This mod doesn't yet assign these textures to each specific race, but if you have experience with scripting for Skyrim and want to offer to write a mod that does, I'd love to hear from you! For now you can use these textures as just a normal vanilla replacer (All your werewolves will look the same), or part of Moonlight tales and/or Automatic Variants.

Colour Options: Albino - White fur/Pink Skin Altmer - Light Blonde/Fair Skin Bosmer - Light Brown/Tan Skin Breton - Timber Wolf/Fair Skin Dunmer - Dark Grey(Black)/ Grey Skin Husky - Black and White/ light Grey Skin Imperial - Grey/ Light Grey Skin Khajiit - Light Grey with black leopard spots/ Grey Skin Nord - Ginger/ Fair Skin Orc & Argonian - Greenish/Greenish Skin Redguard - Dark Brown/ Brown Skin

Plus your choice of 7 eye colours: Blue, Red, Brown, Gold, Green, Albino, Nautral.

* MTE pack does not include ALL the coat colours (since that would require epic amounts of scripting edits to MTE) but if you have to have one you can easily download the loose files version and just manually overwrite which ever MTE texture files you dont like.

When making these textures I chose to keep the vanilla fur patterns allowing more of the 'skin' to show. I won't be making a fully fur covered version since both Bellyache and Alienslof both already have fantastic full fur versions available.

PLEASE NOTE!! This mod WILL replace your vanilla mesh with an edited vanilla mesh with the correct settings. In order for these textures to look their best I have altered the 'glossiness' settings in the werewolf .nif. Bethesda had the head, chest and arm sections of the mesh all set with DIFFERENT glossiness values, which created icky seams on the body when you dont use their existing textures. If you use a custom mesh, make sure you bac
