📋 About This Mod

IMPORTANT
With the release of Enhanced Khajiit I will no longer be supporting this mod. The original mod author has abandoned it for some time or at least has not contacted me in years.  Enhanced Khajiit is the better option as it is more lightweight with significantly less issues. I will be redoing all my presets as Enhanced Khajiit Presets. This mod is still useable with Enhanced Khajiit as long as Khajiit Overhaul loads before and you use the regular version. Feel free to still use Khajiit Overhaul. It's still a good mod just a little janky.

This is an unofficial port of Khajiit overhaul by Nightromodzz with their permission!

You can find the original mod here:

Khajiit Overhaul

What this mod does:

This mod overhauls the male and female khajiit body. It provides textures, meshes, as well as a new skeleton.

There are also digitigrade and plantigrade options!

To access the new head meshes, in the head section of racemenu look for the faceparts option and they are in there! The male has two options and the female one.

Read the original mod page for more info on what is included.

The only difference is that this one includes updated meshes for the digitigrade feet.

If you plan on playing as a vampire install THIS:

Khajiit Overhaul Vampire Fix and Race Patches

For hands compatible with 3BA, BHUNP, HIMBO, etc., install THIS:

Khajiit Overhaul No Unique Hands or Tail

Requirements:

XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended for Skyrim Special Edition - Only the digitigrade version requires this

  • []Version with no feet changes. Only new heads and textures.

    []The feet for the cbbe textures are currently messed up and I don't know how to fix it quite yet

    Digitigrade/Plantigrade:

    • []Requires XPMSSE

      []Use 3BA skeleton file if using digitigrade and 3BA bodies

      []Males need SOS Full or Lite

    - SOS is recommended for the males or you will get a visible seam on the legs but is otherwise playable without it.

    Here are some patches you may need for certain mods:
