📋 About This Mod

Description: Adds a new playable race to your game "Yami Neko" which is a mix between Nord and Khajiit. The body is almost fully Khajiit except for the torso areas, and the head is a normal Nord head. It also retains the tail and ears from Khajiit. It's using 4k textures, but not to fear since this race is for the player only, there won't be NPCs walking all around using these textures, so it should run fine even on low-end machines.

Base Stats: Basically a complete merge of Nord and Khajiit. Two-Handed: 10 One-Handed: 10 Sneak: 10 Pickpocket: 5 Light Armor: 5 Archery: 5 Speech: 5

Requirements: RaceCompatibility CBBE or UNP for Females. You can use any other skin mods and it shouldn't effect Neko.

Help/FAQ: Q: Can I remove the ears? A: Yes, go to Meshes/Actors/Characters and delete the Yami folder.

Q: How do I fix the neck seam? A: Change the complexion to anything. Every time you enter the race menu you will need to set complexion again.

Permissions: Do what you want, credit me. Check credits for permissions, some are open for use, some require permission.
