Skins and Khajiit fur patterns. Also Do'Krin Henna skin 😺

zaria · August 2023

First, Do'Krin ascetic's Henna hide vampire skins remove all vampire skin effect while being low key and good looking.
Most important it preserves a Khajiit fur pattern, why is it so rare? Yes I get it for skins who changes your overall look but for overlays or body paint?

Khajiit fur markings are considered to be body markings, which means that other collectibles in the body markings category (e.g. various types of tattoos, paint, etc) will override them. However, skins are applied over body markings as they are a separate category. You can see underlying body markings with a skin applied if it isn't completely opaque - e.g. amberplasm skin or the aforementioned henna skin. Most skins in the game are mostly or completely opaque, though.

Kahjiit fur patterns should be seperate from body markings along with being dyeable.

I prefer skins that are semi-opaque too. I only use those on my kahjiits. The skins that are opaque look cool too but only if they can be dyeable and can change the amount of it on certain textures.

Thanks and yes the Do'Krin ascetic's Henna skin solves the vampire issue 100% while being pretty understated.
So vampire is another skin

I will take this opportunity to insert a complaint:

Khajiit tails look AWFUL in most of the new skins, they have a weird line texture around them in the same spot making it look pasted on, and their tails are always a much lower resolution than the rest of the skin which is super jarring and ugly. Please fix the tails!

wilykcat · August 2023

I agree to fix the khajiit tails.
Yes. Please make kahjiits have fluffy tails.

Thw game also needs tail customization options for kahjiits.

am i to understand that you can be vamp without looking like death warmed over and in need of a fix of some tasty or a snort of narcan in the next 10 mibutes or else you're a gonner? will you pass at vendors also or will you still need mesmerize?

Don't know personally as I don't play vamps - but @zaria is a long time poster and s/he does know what s/he posts about.

Pretty new to vampires actually, but stage 4 has weaknesses, uses bloody mara to control stages.

But was so happy then I found that this skin hides the paleness and keeps my stripes.

I'm wondering why this is a skin at all. It should be classified as markings.
I like the body but would like to use it without the face markings.

Technically it's body markings, but for khajiit and argonians I think more body marking should use the skin layer as normal body markings removed the secondary skin layer who tend to be stripes and spots on khajiit.

Did not think of the body+head still it works wonder for hiding vampirism

I've mentioned the possibility of a Character overhaul update and most people groan and oppose it, saying it's not needed at all. They're just fine with the low poly and low resolution.

Another complaint on khajiit skins, please make dromatha skin have patterns on the tail. Why should argonians get the prettier skin and not suffer the bent dance? 🙄

Think most are just scared they will mess it up hard.
