AW Mosaic - Modular Skin Blend for Males

2. 1 UPDATE

Added optional files for:

- Briarheart shaved or hairy to match the default diffuse textures and normal maps.

- Snow Elf diffuse textures - can be installed side by side with any other default skin, work out of the box with custom races that use the vanilla path for the Snow Elf textures.

Version 2. 0 redone from scratch to use updated and optimized textures.

4k Resolution.

I've been playing around with male textures for my custom NPCs, but I also wanted to find a good compromise that made sense with my Racemenu presets so that they will actually look how I intended, since I noticed how very different they look with different skin types.

So I present to you my personal mashup of textures that can be applied over your default ones to achieve a look similar to that in my pictures. Most of my presets and NPCs use these textures.

The textures are fully compatible with HIMBO and SOS full or The New Gentleman.

HIMBO is not required, they will still work with the normal SoS full or TNG body alone.

If you use SOS light, I would suggest to download the SOS Light body option from Realore and then install my face patch.

The textures cover only the default males of these races: Nord, Imperial, Redguard, Breton, High Elf, Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Orc.

They will be applied to your played character and to any other NPC that uses the vanilla skin path.

Elders, Snow Elf, Afflicted, Vampires, Kahjiit and Argonian are not included. They will use your usual default skin.

This is not a standalone skin mod, you'll need to have a base skin with all the options installed if you want to cover all male races (I recommend using The New Gentleman as base since you already need it for the manly bits).

In the fomod you'll have the option to choose only certain skin details if you prefer the normals or diffuse from other mods instead of mines.

You might ask: why on earth should I download a skin mod on top of another skin mod that's already complete?

My only answer is: no other skin offers the option to pick and choose between the various parts - you always have to get the whole package - and I'm obsessed with having a male face that looks exactly how I envision it :P

Also, since I use this for all my screenshots I wanted to give others the chance to have the same exact face I created for my characters ^^

I also added a couple of patches to only use my face textures over different bodies:

- For Realore Men's: since my textures match the Realore's neck you can use my face and pick whatever of the body options offered by Realore (hair density and muscle maps). This is also a viable option for SOS Light users.

- For  Loverboy Skin: just a little patch to add my textures and normal maps to the face -
