Better Argonian Horns

I’ve always hated how Argonian horns use their skintone. I wanted to do something about it, and, well, I also did some more stuff too.

About:

• []ESPFE

  []Increases the poly count and smooths the meshes

  []Splits all the meshes to separate the horn from the scaly base, so that the base will keep using the skintone

  []Removes the skin tint from the horns (and one set of horn rings)

  []Covers all 'hair' horns and brow horns

  []Horns are no longer hidden by (most) helmets/hoods/hats

  Technical:

  I subdivided and smoothed the meshes using Blender, then loaded them into Outfit Studio to split, weight, and create tri files.

  Horns now work more like other race’s hairs, with a ‘hair’ mesh (the horn) and one or more ‘hairline’ Extra Parts (the base).

  I used NifSkope to change the dismemberment partition to 130 Head instead of the hair partition and set the correct shader flags.

  Compatibility:

  • []Texture mods - no textures are included, this mod will use your own textures. Any issues would probably be aesthetic.

    []New horn mods - this mod does not replace the original meshes, so it shouldn’t technically conflict. The other mods won’t benefit from the new meshes without a patch, however

    []High Poly Heads - optional mesh replacement file now available

    []NPCs - will need a patch to be effected

    []Horns Are Forever -  cannot make compatible, BUT this mod includes the tweak it makes to meshes

    Available Patches

    • []High Poly Heads (official mirror link)

      []Hott Argonians (Player Character only

    • []More Horn Styles for Argonians (No NPCs)

    • BeastHHBB Patch (WIP - Currently Female only)

      This patch not only changes the horns to my better models, but also fixes a few issues with the original mod:

      - horns will now use the correct textures for the gender they’re used on

      - removes skin tint from horn rings

      - fixes clipping and floating on a few styles

      - fixes a hai
