📋 About This Mod

The first incision was painful, though of course I knew that going in. Although I had chewed on some bittergreen petals beforehand to dull the senses, they were not so potent as to completely desensitize myself to the sensation of a sharpened chitin knife scraping away the uppermost layers of flesh. The pain I bore as the artist made incision after incision into my belly, all the while she dabbed the blood with a wet cloth, which was a deep sanguine by the end of the procedure. In order for the scar to be clearly visible, I was told to ensure that the wound was kept open in the following days, which I did through the regular application of a caustic gel derived from a scrib and of course I regularly cleaned out the wound to ensure that it would not fester. For my pain I was rewarded with an indelible mark on my body demonstrating my dedication to the Three.

Scarified Dunmer - SSE Edition

LE Version Here

Scarified Dunmer is a full port and overhaul of Plangkye's original Scarified Dark Elves. The mod adds a number of complexion options to your character customisation that closely resemble the ritual scarification techniques of the Dunmer in as seen in TES III: Morrowind. There are 3 different scarification patterns for each gender, but the total number of options is much higher.

What's new?

  • []Form 44 .esp, all textures converted to BC7 compression. Plangkye's 2048 textures used. No NPC changes yet (sorry!).

    []The filestructure has been completely overhauled. Files are now organised by gender and scar pattern. The old unused EEO normalmaps for males have been integrated as options; EEO normalmaps for females have been replaced.

    []All of the options below are accessible in-game!

  • []For females:

    []4 NEW normalmaps:

 A smooth variant (based on Bijin Skin)

A smooth-mature variant (a mix of Bijin Skin, and Nuska's Real Skin as included in the original mod, biased towards Bijin)

A mature variant (same as above but biased towards Nuska's Real Skin)

A mature variant with different brow ridges (same as above but using Nuska's brow ridges instead of Bijin)

  • []2 NEW age options for every normal map and scar pattern, a mix of Plangkye's and Pfuscher's detailmaps.

    []4k upscaled normalmaps!

  • []For males:

  • 3 normalmap variants:

 Vanilla variant
