📋 About This Mod
Quick Note:
Alright, so this is basically the port of my WyldTats mods from DA and DA 2. It is a collection of 70 face and neck warpaints based on a few different scifi and fantasy sources (Stargate series, Primal on PS2, Final Fantasy, some originals I have permission for and some originals on my part, and various stock sources on the web -- if something was mistakenly taken from a source that is not stock let me know and I will take it down).
The warpaints are for males and females, and they are all non-replacer versions, with a RaceMenu plugin available as well.
Colors:
Due to how tedious it is to actually add colors, it was something I ended up not doing. There is one option for you here: Choose a vanilla warpaint first, and pick a color. Then pick your WyldTat of choice, and it will be whatever color you just chose for the vanilla warpaint.
The RaceMenu version works normally with color implementation.
Installation:
It is recommended that you use the nexus installer. If you decide to do it manually, just drop the wyldtats.esp and wyldtats.bsa into your program files(x86)>steam>steamapps>common>skyrim>data folder.
If installing the loose files for adding the tats to other mods, from the data folder, go to data>textures>actors>character>character assets>tintmasks folder.
Uninstalling:
Again it is recommended that you use the nexus mod manager for all installing and uninstalling needs. If you decide to do it manually, just delete the wyldtats.esp and wyldtats.bsa files from the program files (x86)>steam>steamapps>common>skyrim>data folder. To uninstall the loose files, just delete the files from the data>textures>actors>character>character assets>tintmasks folder.
Known Issues:
Basically, any mod that has an "esp" file that modifies the races is likely to cause a conflict with any non-replacer warpaint mod (mine included). There are two workarounds for this: Change the desired warpaint into a replacer version, or add the warpaints to the conflicting mod. I have instructions for both workarounds under "Miscellaneous" downloads.
Note, that when using either method, you will need to either delete the wyldtats.esp file, or just make sure that it is unchecked. You will also need to download the "loose files" folder to utilize either option.
In the end, the best option to use these warpaints is through the RaceMenu plugin. Highly recommended!!!
If you are using a mod that alters the race tab, then that will cause a potential conflict with my mod, which is something I have warned people about as you can see. To add warpaints to the races, you have to do so by adding stuff to the race tabs in an esp file. If your character turns into
WyldTats Warpaint Edition adds 70 non-replacer male and female face/neck warpaints for Skyrim, with tutorials for compatibility and a RaceMenu plugin version. This cosmetic mod is for players who want more visual variety without overwriting existing warpaints.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 2,216 endorsements and over 66k downloads.
- Non-replacer design means it won't overwrite other warpaint mods, so it plays nice with your setup.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2021, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or newer mods.

- Potential conflicts with mods that alter face/neck textures or add their own warpaints, despite the non-replacer approach.
For Skyrim players who want more face paint options without sacrificing other warpaint mods. If you're into character customization and use RaceMenu, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
