Melissia Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I would like to have a mod that replaces the khajiit head with a retextured elven head (similar to Daggerfall, or somewhat similar to the heads of the Tabaxi mod, but without making it a separate race) I've hated the change to a cats-head look ever since morrowind, and have tried to use mods to get rid of it in both morrowind and oblivion... would like to eventually have one here as well. In lore ,these Khajiit are known as Ohmes-raht (those without fur are simply Ohmes), and are those Khajiit born under a new masser and waxing secunda. Ohmes and Ohmes-raht are said to be commonly seen outside of Elsweyr as traders and diplomats, because they're closer to the bosmer form than the more common (in Elsweyr) Suthay-raht, which is the form that was seen in unmodded Oblivion and Morrowind. An alternative would simply be to use Ohmes-raht as a separate race, using Khajiit dialogue if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 As an aside, I saw the anime-catgirl one, and I'm not looking for that kind of thing... just a move away from the Suthay-raht to Ohmes-Raht. No break in lore needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Bump. I guess this really isn't a high priority for anyone, but still, I'd love to see it done. At least a hood or helmet helps me ignore the cat-heads in Skyrim better than they did in oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sadly, I don't see much other than character saves and a few retextures in a skyrim nexus search for "Khajiit". Hasn't been very long since release though, so it's hardly surprising. And I don't think they've released all the tools yet? Bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 As an aside, would it even be possible to sort of copy over khajiit dialogue options if you made Ohmes-raht a separate race choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbiscuits Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I started a thread about this and many others have, too. The Khajiit bodies are very human like and the heads are anatomically incompatible. They look ridiculous.I think we can solve this by giving them more human like faces, and a "weretiger" form instead of a werewolf.I might get around to doing this when the creation kit comes out if I can convince my more 3d capable friends of helping. I'm more of a painter. http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/477197-race-changes/page__p__3908434__fromsearch__1#entry3908434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Hopefully a more lore-correct version than the one you offered in your thread... Look at The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall for inspiration if you need some idea on what I have in mind. Khajiits do have a mane, but that's on the back of their necks and heads. It's not on their cheeks... the fur on their faces is fairly smooth and level (And short; even long-haired cats tend to have shorter fur on their faces, nevermind ohmes-raht khajiits, whom are humanoid in shape). The rest of their body has a fairly even layer of fur, as well, from the artistic depictions, though whether there are both short and long haired versions or if there's only short, I don't know. But no short AND long haired on the same khajiit for sure... the hair and mane is the only real exception here, and the mane is cut off for symbolic purposes.

Melissia Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Sadly, finding a good reference pic has been difficult. Mostly i've just found anime images and furry anthro images, and frankly, I'm not looking for either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) This could work as an example of what I have in mind, though not perfectly so as her tail is a bit too bushy to be a khajiit (note, also, that this is somewhat NSFW, as she is nude, though her fur and pose covers any naughty bits so it's certainly no less NSFW than the default nude khajiit in game). http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a28/melissiablackheart/12131708761726036677.jpg Edited December 4, 2011 by Melissia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebsixl Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The creator of the Tabaxi mod for Oblivion has already stated that they'll be making that race again in Skyrim. However, it's really not going to happen without the CK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
