📋 About This Mod
This mod is now obsolete! Get the full mod here!
Requirements:
High Poly Heads (official mirror) (v. 1. 4+)
Better Argonian Horns (v. 2. 1. 1+)
Originally I was planning on overhauling all Argonian NPCs, but currently I'm still tired of the criticisms and entitlement that tend to go along with major mods. I'm a hobbyist doing this for fun and for free, and when it's no longer fun why post anything, yeah? Anyways, I figured I should release what I have, in case I don't get to finish.
I do have ideas for a full future overhaul, but I will find a way to support saves with this mod installed.
Changes the appearances of Stands-in-Shallows, Shahvee, and Neetrenaza, the three redeisgns I finished before burning out.
Shahvee is loosely based on a Bright Throat tribe member; Neetrenaza is a Dead Water tribe expat; and Stands-in-Shallows is somewhat based on a horned lizard.
All of the Argonians use their own textures. Shahvee uses the Anaconda version of FAR; Stands uses Riverborn Argonian; Neetrenaza uses a darkened, slightly desaturated Chameleon version of Masculine Argonian Textures. Textures are made to work with Vanilla bodies only (including feet, though it works fine with Argonian Reptilian Feet.) These textures will only show up on the three NPCs- no other NPCs will use them.
All files are flagged as ESPFE. Not providing patches.
Okay to make translations/patches for, do not publish this mod as-is on other sites. Do not use parts of this mod in your own without permission. Anything else, just ask. Unless it's about changing or removing a character: then my answer is 'no.'
