Race texture Question (I'm new to this, sorry if my question is obvious)

[Getsugaru]

Hello all. Allow me to begin by stating I am new to modding in general, so this is probably a stupid question on my part. I found a couple of images on ChaserTech's Female Dragonic Argonian Textures mod for Skyrim in which an Argonian has blue skin and an interesting pattern on her stomach (Here Are The Images). I believe the skin pattern is from redfox's FAR: Forgotten Argonian Roots and the blue skin shade is from ZombieData's Argonian Skintones. Do these mods all work together naturally? I would think that, since they all seem to be affecting the same file, they would cancel each other out, especially since they all seem to use the same file name and format. Again, I'm very new to this, so if this file type is naturally compatible, please let me know. If not, I would love to know how one brings the files together to be used as one; any and all help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks to anyone who read this post.

The image links you posted only nead to the "Images" tab of the mod page, but not to any specific picture, so next time you may want to actually link to the image itself (Right Click -> Open Image in new tab -> Copy the image url from that new tab).

 

In any case, I'm assuming you are talking about this image, right?

 

 

If so, then yes, those belly and neck patters are from the "Anaconda" skin option in FAR.

 

To answer your question, no, Female Dragonic and FAR are not compatible because they both replace the Argonian character textures so you can only have one mod active at a time. The user that posted those pics actually edited the texture files themselves to copy the markings from the FAR textures and paste them on the Dragonic ones.

 

As for the blue skin tone, pretty much any mod that adds/edits vanilla skin tone options have been deprecated (including the one you linked) ever since since RaceMenu exists, because it includes its own RGB color selector tool that allows you to manually select whatever color you want in the menu itself without the need to edit race/skin tone records as those mods do.

I thought I had linked directly to the images; sorry about that. Yes, that was one of the images I was referring to.

 

It's too bad that I was right; I guess I'll have to ask the person who posted the images if they still have the merged texture files they used and whether or not they'd be willing to share them with me. I suppose I'll also need to get RaceMenu installed then. It looks a bit complicated, but with time I'll probably get it to work how I want it to.

 

Thank you for your help and for explaining it as you did.
