📋 About This Mod
What is this mod?
This mod is a small collection of Racemenu makeup and face paint overlays based on the few tattoos from TES3: Morrowind. These are all hand drawn by myself, there are two versions of each overlay, one for men and one for women, and they are available in both the Makeup and Face Paint tabs. You can find them by searching for GR.
It contains 5 Dunmer overlays, 3 Nord, 2 Orc, and a bonus of Almalexia's Tattoo. They are available in 4K or 2K.
Known Issues
These were designed for High Poly Head and will likely look a little weird on the vanilla low poly head model, these were also not designed with beast races in mind so they will probably look all sorts of wrong on Argonians/Khajiits
Requirements
Racemenu - Hard Requirement
High Poly Head - Soft Requirement, Overlays will look wrong with the Vanilla heads
