📋 About This Mod
Skyrim Special Edition version here
Requires Dawnguard and Dragonborn. Adds wearable horns and tails of all standard game dragons (except the Skeleton Dragon), and the DLC dragons (except Durnehviir), for both males and females, and with support for all the vanilla playable races (including the beast races). All the horns and tails use Dragon Scales as a placeholder _go file. They can be made at any forge or anvil, and they require a single Dragon Scale and Dragon Bone to make. This mod should work with any texture replacer for the dragons, so long as they share the original texture's file path (and UV mapping). Included is a skeleton replacer based on the vanilla skeleton so that the tails can be used for non-beast races. It is just the beast race skeletons renamed, replacing the human skeletons. This is a must to use the tails. If one uses a skeleton replacer just let it overwrite the one from this mod, as long as it supports the tail bones for non-beast races. See the changelog for more info.
There is one main file, two optional files, and one old file. The main file uses slot 49 for the horns, while the optional files currently have two alternatives which use slot 52 and slot 55. Pick only one of these.
There is also a file in the Old Files section which contains some of the older versions of the mod that used Nuska's horn resource from Character Mod Resource Pack (no longer available). All color variants of the horns and tails were based of the regular dragon's horns and tails, unlike in the current version. Provided upon request. Those are not supported any longer.

✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (1,102) shows the community digs it.
- Covers nearly every dragon type in the game, so you've got plenty of options.
- Works for both genders and all vanilla races, so no one's left out.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs, so if you're missing those, you're out of luck.
- No support for Skeleton Dragon or Durnehviir, so completionists might be bummed.

For Skyrim players who want to roleplay as a dragon-blooded character or just add some flair to their look. Perfect for those who already own the DLCs and want a simple cosmetic addition. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you don't have the required DLCs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs installed before adding this mod, or it won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, just download and install; otherwise, drop the files into your Data folder manually.
- Check the mod's page for any compatibility notes with other body or armor mods, since it might conflict with custom meshes.
