v2. 0 is Here!

New v1. 2 Thanks to expired6978's awesome work, I now have a version for his awesome RaceMenu! This makes it now pretty much Stand Alone, as it will work in conjuction with outher warpaints! RaceMenu is needed though.

New v1. 1 Due to popular demand, I've now added

~ Weathered and Worn Warpaints 'For Her'! ~

New v1. 1 Have Now fixed the Low Res version to an Actual Low Res version, my apologies.

New v1. 1I have also released a modders resource file, containing both male and female versions.

Simply open the .rar file, drag and drop the Data file into your Skyrim folder and overwrite if needed. You can also copy and paste the single file you wish to use in the Tintmasks folder. (Data/texture/actors/character/character assets/tintmasks).

If you don't want to replace the specific warpaint number I have saved, chose the number you want to replace and after the underscore (_) change the number to the one you want to use (01-10).

Delete the files in the Tintmasks folder to return to the vanilla warpaint or overwrite with your own or other warpaints if you so choose.

RACE MENU by Expired will help tremendously with utilizing the high deffinition of these warpaints. It is not necessary, but it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! They will NOT look like they do in my screenshots otherwise.

FOR THE WARPAINTS TO LOOK LIKE THEY DO IN MY IMAGES:

You should use SKSE 1. 6. 13. Thanks to an INI setting added to SKSE, it is now possible to use HD (2048x2048) warpaint applied to your character rather than being limited to the vanilla resolution (256x256). To allow this you MUST have SKSE installed and you should add these lines to your SKSE. INI:

iTintTextureResolution=2048

Note: Prior to the introduction of this SKSE settings, no matter how big the textures were, the game downscaled them to the vanilla resolution at 25

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

Community favorite with 1,839 endorsements and 47k downloads—clearly a go-to for warpaint overhauls
Lore-friendly and high-def, so it fits the game's aesthetic without breaking immersion
Covers both male and female with the 'For Her' version, so you can overhaul everyone

⚠️ Cons

Last updated in 2013—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods
Only affects warpaints, so if you want more body or face overhauls, this won't cover that
No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it

🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a grittier, more realistic look for their character's warpaints without straying from lore. If you're into immersion and visual overhauls, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or more extensive face/body mods.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

Since this mod replaces warpaints, make sure to load it after other warpaint mods in your load order to avoid conflicts.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily toggle the 'For Her' version on or off.
If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod needs conversion—it's from 2013, so it might be for Oldrim only.
