-Overview-
This mod was just a fun little project of mine to try and increase the options available to people whom wish to use tanlines on their characters. This includes tanlines that will work well to represent swimwear, underwear, and clothing. Some of them were inspired by popular outfits, some of them were not. Some of the tanlines do not correspond to actual outfits, but rather just to look interesting.
16 swimsuit overlays and 6 clothing overlays! The swimsuit overlays have variants for worn and fresh versions. In total, counting the fresh and worn variants of the swimsuits, there are 40 tanline overlays! This should give you plenty of options for all your tanline needs I hope! Oh, and a Saviors Hide tanline. And this mod supports the UNP and CBBE family of bodies, just choose the file of the body you have installed.
Seperated tops and bottoms of the original tanlines, as well as adding even more tanlines!
When applying the tanlines, you will notice that at full opacity (transparency) they will look extremely bright. You will need to turn it down a great deal for them to appear more natural. You can adjust the base color slightly to reach the desired skin tone as well! Transparency can be adjusted with the fourth bar in the color selection tool within RaceMenu.
Whats planned for the future?
May potentially add some additional tan-lines in the future. For now, this mod is basically complete.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 4,839 endorsements and over 769k downloads
- Works for both UUNP and CBBE, so you're covered no matter your body mod
- Fresh and worn variants give you options for a just-sunned or lived-in look
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2020, so it might not play nice with the latest Skyrim SE patches
- Only adds tanlines—no other body or skin changes, so it's purely cosmetic
- Requires Racemenu to use the overlays, which is an extra dependency you'll need to grab
For Skyrim players who want to add realistic tanlines to their characters, especially for summer or beach-themed playthroughs. If you use UUNP or CBBE and enjoy detailed character customization, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely visual.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Racemenu installed and updated, as the overlays are applied through its overlay system.
- In Racemenu, go to the Overlay tab and select the tanline option you want—you can adjust opacity and color to match your skin tone.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts with other body mods.
