📋 About This Mod
This mod adds morphs for the Argonian tails, so that the weight of the tail will match the body weight.
It always bothered me that the Argonian tails were constantly skinny, even if the character's body was bulky. The only mod I've seen that addresses this is Bigger Argonian Tails, which increases the size of the tails on ALL Argonians. However, I always felt that the thicker tails looked too big on smaller characters.
This mod instead uses the skinny vanilla tail as the smallest morph, and adds a new mesh that is roughly the same size as Bigger Argonian Tails for the largest morph. Middle weight Argonians will then have a tail that is right in between the size of these two. The morphs work for NPCs as well as the player character.
This mod will conflict with anything that replaces the Argonian tail mesh. Any tail armor mods can technically be used alongside this mod, but if they don't have morph meshes, they will not properly reflect the character's weight.
This mod is compatible with texture and animation replacers.
This mod also has options to move the tail position up: Tails Higher and Tails Slightly Higher. If you want to use these, download the main file and then overwrite the models with the version you want. If you want only the female tails to be higher but not the male, then only replace the female meshes.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community adoption (461k downloads, 1k endorsements) — clearly a must-have for Argonian fans
- Simple, focused improvement: makes tails match your character's build, adding immersion
- Lightweight cosmetic mod — no gameplay changes, just visual polish
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE/AE updates
- Only affects Argonian tails — if you don't play Argonians, this mod is useless to you
For Argonian players who want their character's tail to match their body type, especially those who use weight sliders. If you're a roleplayer or just care about visual consistency, this is a nice touch. Skip if you don't play Argonians or if you're on the latest Skyrim version and worried about compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a simple mesh replacer, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 for easier management.
- If you're on Skyrim Anniversary Edition, test the mod early — it was last updated in 2020 and may need a compatibility patch or a quick reinstall if tails don't change.
- Use the weight slider in character creation to see the effect immediately — make a thin Argonian and a bulky one to compare.
