📋 About This Mod

Certain mods included require extra steps and special attention to work correctly within the game.

Please see below, or the sticky on the comments tab.

To access the overlays in game:

Open the racemenu (~ showracemenu) and navigate to the Body Paint, Hand Paint, and Feet Paint tabs.

The left diamond is the glow, the right diamond is the color. When hovering over the slot of a tattoo, press T to access the overlay sub list.

With Racemenu SE having overlay support, I wanted to bring forward the various packs of tattoos and overlays I used.

Only body covers will be included for now.

Once Racemenu SE has face overlay support, I will look into including those as well.

In the optional section is a download called Tat Tests.

Download this mod to test the various mods included to make sure they are appearing properly.

Install as normal. You need SKSE, Racemenu, and of course this mod.

In Racemenu look to the top left for the presets tab. In that tab hit F9 and select the preset named to the tat set you are looking for. The colors picked were chosen for light skin as they show better for testing.

These overlays were made for UNP body and its variations.

They will work on CBBE, but may end up distorted.

There is now a CBBE AIO. Do note, not all overlays are CBBE specific. But ones available that are CBBE are included. For now this is RaceMenu Overlay Compilation andThe Coenaculi.

You will find an AIO file as the main download, this is a combined pack with all the miscellaneous files with the ESPs merged into one ESP.

Do keep in mind, the unpacked size of the AIO is around 4gb.

In the miscellaneous section you will find the individual files for each of the ported mods.

Also included with each is the SKSE.ini file that boosts the resolution of the overlays to 2048.

Default number of overlays for the body, hands, and feet is 6/3/3 respectably.

If you wish to increase this, open your Racemenu SE folder and navigate to:

SKSE>Plugins and look for SKEE64.ini

Open that in wordpad or notepad++ and look for the following:

; "Body " and "Body "

; Determines how many body overlays there should be

iNumOverlays=8 ; Default

iSpellOverlays=1 ; Default

; "Hands " and "Hands "

; Determines how many hand overlays there should be

iNumOverlays=4 ; Default

iSpellOverlays=1 ; Default

; "Feet " and "Feet "

; Determines how many feet overlays there should be
