📋 About This Mod
Just a simple script and esl to unlock the femaleheadbothiahtattoo_01.dds and maleheadbothiahtattoo_01.dds for use on the player character via character creator. You should use RaceMenu, but ECM should have a similar feature.
Best used with my Wash Yo Face bonus download XCE matching femaleheadbothiahtattoo_01 and Xenius Character Enhancement Complete's maleheadbothiahtattoo_01.dds
Special thanks to n337speak (Xarathos) for letting me use his makeup pack script as a template.

Unlock Unused Warpaints is a small Skyrim mod that adds a script and ESL file to make two unused warpaint textures (femaleheadbothiahtattoo_01.dds and maleheadbothiahtattoo_01.dds) available in the character creator. It's designed for use with RaceMenu, though Enhanced Character Edit may also work. The mod is best paired with the author's Wash Yo Face bonus download or Xenius Character Enhancement Complete for matching textures.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Unlocks hidden warpaints that are otherwise unused, giving you more character creation options.
- Lightweight script and ESL file—no heavy resource drain.
- Community-tested with 51 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads, so it's proven to work for many players.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires RaceMenu or Enhanced Character Edit to actually use the unlocked warpaints, so it's not a standalone solution.
- The unlocked textures may not match vanilla skin tones unless you also install the recommended texture mods.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter character creation or warpaint lists.
For Skyrim players who love character creation and want to access hidden warpaint options without console commands. If you're already using RaceMenu and want more variety, this is a quick add. Skip if you don't use character creation overhauls or prefer gameplay mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have RaceMenu installed and load this mod after it to ensure the script works properly.
- If you're using Enhanced Character Edit instead, test the warpaints in the character creator to confirm they appear.
- Pair with the recommended texture mods (Wash Yo Face or Xenius) for the best visual match with your character's skin.
