📋 About This Mod
While using Better Claws and Gauntlets and some mods that add custom beast races with their own textures (like Project ja-Kha'jay) you get an annoying visual discrepancy where the hand uses the wrong texture. This tweak should fix.
Basically made this for Project ja-Kha'jay because it was driving me crazy, but I'm sure there are others it could work for. It corrects both Khajiit and Argonian armor addons for all the gloves covered by Better Claws. Should work fine with any mesh replacers. Won’t change anything for vanilla beast races: they’ll use the correct textures.
I've also made a patch for Female Hands Redone found here.
If you use Dynamic Armor Variants, check out this patch instead (includes the same fixes as this mod.)
This patch fixes mismatched textures when using Better Claws and Gauntlets with custom beast races. It's a small compatibility fix for Skyrim modders, with 306 endorsements and 15,000 downloads, last updated in March 2022.
