📋 About This Mod
Alrighty my friends, decided to work up some tats for male and female characters. There are currently 16 design patterns available, and if this is received well (IE... I get enough downloads and endorsements), then I may end up adding some more. The same male and female design is packaged with each download.
And the big selling point here, unlike many other tat mods, YOU CAN USE THESE WITH OTHER TEXTURE MODS!!!
Heck, you can even use these with other tat mods, and my Wyld Eyes mod=)
INSTALLATION:
Firstly, you will need to install BepInEx and Custom Textures plugins using their specific instructions. For my files, it is recommended that you use the Vortex mod manager for all of your installation needs. That said...for those that like to do things the hard way...
You can download and unzip my files, then place the png files into: Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\CustomTextures\
If you want to use a separate female and male design, you can download the files, and place your desired designs into the above mentioned spot.
If you manually install, you only need the desired PNG files from the zip folder. You will not need the JPGs or the FOMod stuff.
UNINSTALLING:
Again, use the mod manager. That said, you can simply go to the following location again, and delete the installed png files: Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\CustomTextures\
USING WITH TEXTURE MODS:
As advertised, this mod works with other texture mods. You will have to do a little work to make this possible. So, we will use Softer Female Player Skin Textures (SFPST) as an example. To make this work, download and install my mod and your texture mod of choice, in the example, we will of course be using the aforementioned linked mod.
From my downloaded files you will see the following files:
player_model_0_texture.png
player_model_0_texture_WyldTats.png
player_model_1_texture.png
player_model_1_texture_WyldTats.png
You will need to delete the files without the WyldTats tags at the end, as those are the included texture files, and do not have the tats. So, these two files can go:
player_model_0_texture.png
player_model_1_texture.png
For this example, we only really need the player_model_1_texture_WyldTats file, since this is a female texture and no male texture is needed. The files with a 0 in it are male files, the ones with a 1 in it are the female files. Next, you will go find the texture file in the new mod. For the SFPST mod, the main texture file is named:
player_model_1_MainTex.png
You will need to rename the WyldTats file to match this file so the tats will show up. The renamed file from my downl
WyldTats Valheim Edition adds 16 tattoo designs for both male and female characters, compatible with custom texture mods. A compact cosmetic mod with 42 endorsements, last updated in June 2021.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent variety with 16 designs for both genders.
- Works alongside custom texture mods, so you can mix and match.
- Lightweight cosmetic addition—no performance hit.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—may not be compatible with the latest Valheim patches.
- Only 42 endorsements, so it's a niche pick.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind.
For Valheim players who want to personalize their viking with some ink. If you're into role-playing or just want your character to stand out in the longship, this is a quick cosmetic boost. Skip if you're after gameplay changes—this is purely visual.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, make sure to back up your original character textures before overwriting.
- Check if the mod requires BepInEx or just a manual drop-in—if it's just textures, you can install it by placing files in the right folder.
- Test the tattoos on a new character first to see if they look right with your other texture mods.
