📋 About This Mod
This is a port of the LE mod (Khajiit) Lioness Look by OBLbeginner
I really like this mod so I got the original author's permission to port it to SSE!
I can't offer any support because I am only porting this mod and know little to nothing about making mods!
Original Mod Here:
(Khajiit) Lioness Look
What this mod does:
This mod retextures the female khajiit to look like a lioness.
You need the mod Khajiit Overhaul in order to use the lioness head mesh however, otherwise it will only retexture the female khajiit!
This mod works for CBBE and UNP
Installation:
- Install Khajiit Overhaul by NightroModzz
- You can still use CBBE despite this mod saying it requires UNP because the lioness mod comes with CBBE textures.
- Install this mod
- To get the lioness head, look in the head section of racemenu and find the faceparts section and flip to the lioness head.
- If installing the My Edit version, this may cause a neck seam but it is easily concealable and honestly not that bad. It's only visible on the back of the neck.
- If you want the body normalmaps I'm using that make khajiit look furrier, the files are in my guide linked below
For those that don't want to use Khajiit Overhaul this will only retexture the female khajiit and will not give you the lioness head!
Recommendation:
Check out my guide, Katie's Beast Race Aesthetic's Compendium for TONS of other beast related mods!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (585k) shows it's a proven favorite among Khajiit fans
- Over 1,000 endorsements means the community vouches for it
- Simple port from LE—no complex setup, just drop it in
⚠️ Cons
- Author gives zero install instructions—you're on your own if you're new to modding
- Only changes female Khajiit—if you play male Khajiit or other races, this does nothing for you
- No screenshots or detailed description—you won't know exactly what you're getting until you try it
For Skyrim players who want their female Khajiit to stand out with a lioness-inspired look. If you're a Khajiit main or just want a fresh take on the cat-folk, this is worth a shot. Skip if you're not into cosmetic overhauls or play other races.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture/mesh replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- Make sure you have Skyrim Special Edition (not Anniversary Edition) or the mod might not work as expected.
- If you're using other Khajiit overhaul mods, test for conflicts—this one might override or be overridden.
