-Overview-
This mod was just a fun little project of mine to try and increase the options available to people whom wish to use tanlines on their characters. This includes tanlines that will work well to represent swimwear, underwear, and clothing. Some of them were inspired by popular outfits, some of them were not. Some of the tanlines do not correspond to actual outfits, but rather just to look interesting.
16 swimsuit overlays and 6 clothing overlays! The swimsuit overlays have variants for worn and fresh versions. In total, counting the fresh and worn variants of the swimsuits, there are 40 tanline overlays! This should give you plenty of options for all your tanline needs I hope! Oh, and a Saviors Hide tanline. And this mod supports the UNP and CBBE family of bodies, just choose the file of the body you have installed.
Seperated tops and bottoms of the original tanlines, as well as adding even more tanlines!
When applying the tanlines, you will notice that at full opacity (transparency) they will look extremely bright. You will need to turn it down a great deal for them to appear more natural. You can adjust the base color slightly to reach the desired skin tone as well! Transparency can be adjusted with the fourth bar in the color selection tool within RaceMenu.
Whats planned for the future?
May potentially add some additional tan-lines in the future. For now, this mod is basically complete.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 1,238 endorsements and 32,955 downloads.
- Covers both major body types (UUNP and CBBE) so you're covered either way.
- Fresh and worn variants give you options for different looks.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or Racemenu updates.
- Purely cosmetic — if you want gameplay changes, this isn't for you.
For Skyrim players who want to add realistic tanlines to their characters, especially those who enjoy detailed body customization. If you're into immersion or just want your character to look like they've been sunbathing, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls — this is purely visual.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Racemenu installed and updated, as this mod uses its overlay system.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the files, and check that the mod is placed after body mods in your load order.
- In Racemenu, navigate to the overlay section to apply the tanlines — they're not standalone items.
