-Overview-
This mod was a project of mine to redo all of the vanilla warpaints in 4K, as well as create adjustments for the opposite gender, and the beast races using them. Many of the paints follow closely to the idea of the original vanilla ones, but with a much higher level of detail put into them. As such, one has a much greater amount of freedom in the warpaints they can use on their character, such as using a previously male only paint on a female character, and vise versa.Whats included?
All 121 vanilla warpaints/tattoos redone by hand, as well as with adjustments for every race. So, you can use something that would normally only look correct on a Khajiit, on a Female Character, Male Character, or Argonian Character. Male and Female paints have been refitted to each other, as well as used to create designs for Khajiit and Argonian characters.
Whats planned for the future?
I plan on redoing some of these again in a style different to that of the vanilla paint it is based on (as right now I tried to stick relatively close to the examples when it comes to whether a paint was weathered, faded, solid etc.) The will be released as optional files, which will specify exactly what they replace. I. E. A file which allows you to replace the textures of the wood elves paints to look as if they were made with a different paint medium.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,409 endorsements and 47k downloads
- High-res 2K and 4K textures make warpaints crisp and detailed
- RaceMenu integration lets you mix and match paints across races and genders
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or AE
- Requires RaceMenu for the cross-race/gender feature, which is an extra dependency
- Only covers vanilla warpaints, not custom or mod-added ones
For Skyrim players who want their character's warpaints to look sharper and more detailed. Also for roleplayers who want to use male warpaints on female characters or vice versa. Skip if you're looking for new warpaint designs — this only improves the vanilla ones.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install RaceMenu first, then this mod, and make sure to load the mod after any mods that alter warpaints.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files manually.
- In RaceMenu, the warpaint options will appear under the Face tab — check the 'Use all paints' option to access every paint for any race/gender.
