📋 About This Mod

This is KrittaKitty's Lykaios race, updated with her latest work and completed by Bad Dog.

A subspecies of the forest dwelling Vukasin tribe, the Lykaios are thought to be distantly related to the long extinct 'Vulpine' Lilmothiit peoples of Black Marsh. The nomadic Lykaios have no homeland; instead they live in small family packs in the coldest and most unreachable parts of Tamriel. Excellent hunters and trackers, the Lykaios are a hardy and rugged people resistant to cold and most diseases.

Latest Changes

  • []NPCs are consolidated into the main mod to save ESP slots

    []New digi mechanism doesn't require an ESP (but does require XPMSE)

    []I've revamped things so this mod can be entirely SFW. Privy members are now in a separate mod, should you want them. I've removed some pictures that seemed a little too racy. Feel free to re-post them on the other mod.

    About the mod

    This mod allows you to play as a Lykaios, male or female. The race has its own abilities and perks. There are many facial markings available but not all are obviously labeled, so play around with the sliders. Some markings are under the "dirt" option, so look there too.

    There are hair and earrings. Some earrings are under the "brow" slider.

    History

    KK was in the middle of a major update to the race when she stopped modding. She made her assets available, and I picked them up to use in the Yiffy Age mod. Mostly I just finished what she started. Differences are that I gave them my canine pawfeet and my clawhands; I left out the Scottie-dog brows and made her earrings available on that slider so they could be used with any hairstyle; I gave them high-poly heads following her models; and I re-did the face markings to allow a wider range of wolf and dog patterns.

    Installation

    Make sure you have the latest version of the files. 3. 0 is a save-breaking update because some scripts have changed.

    Download the files and install the ones you want in this order:

    []RaceCompatibility. Use the "Untranslated Files" download to prevent crashes.

    []Lykaios_Reborn - Base mod. SFW: Bodies are vanilla with underwear unless you have a replacer loaded. Works with the UNP female body.  Followers are near the Alchemist's Shack in the Rift, and in the Vilemyr Inn evenings.

    []Lykaios_Digi - Digitigrade feet, if you like that better. (I do.) You can wear boots and they'll look like vanilla. Barefoot, you're digitigrade.

    []Lykaios_HDT_Tails - Requires an HDT setup. Tails are subject to stretching and the occasional invisible character. Try them and keep them if you like them.

    []Lykaios_CBBE - If you use that body.

    []XPMSE if you're using the digi feet. If you don't want to run the mo
