-Overview-
This is a small project I undertook (Which has turned into a big project) to add some weathered feeling Bodypaints for Nords! Most of the paints have weathering throughout, which gives them texture and overall makes them look better. All of these paints fit perfectly with the female body meshes seems, and most of them work well with Male body as well. Also added are some Weathered FacePaints(As both Makeup and FacePaint), Weathered FootPaints, and some HandPaints. Some Meshes have UUNP and CBBE versions to better fit those seems.
In RaceMenu, to access the textures, press T over one of the default values to bring up a list of textures you have installed. Press E to change the color, and pressing T within the color selection menu will allow you access to the Glow setting (excluding makeup).
All paints can be found with the prefix WNB at the start of their name in RaceMenu. If you feel so inclined, feel free to add your own images of them.

-Requirements-
Requires RaceMenu (and by extension SKSE)
-Installation-
Extract the contents of the 7Zip and move the contents to your Skyrim Data folder, or use the Nexus Mod Manager to install.
You should then be able to access the Body and Face Paints through the RaceMenu, under Makeup, Body Paint, and Face Paint.
If you are installing over a previous version, simply replace all when asked.
---If you do not plan on using the crash risky "Face Paints" ignore the following section, and install the SKSE Makeup Configs if you do not already have the SKSE set to allow for tintmasks of higher resolution than 256x256. Otherwise, set the iTintTextureResolution = 2048 in the SKSE.ini. (If you do not have this file, download the SKSE Makeup Configs from the optional files, which is preset to 2048x2048 textures.)---

- Works for both genders, so you can use it on any character.

For Skyrim players who want to give their characters a gritty, battle-worn look without overhauling the whole game. If you're into role-playing as a seasoned warrior or just want more variety in face paint, this is for you. Skip if you prefer clean, pristine appearances or want gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have RaceMenu installed, as this mod adds overlays that require it to show up in-game.
- Use the RaceMenu overlay system to apply the paints — they won't appear in the vanilla character creation menu.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
