Eska Scales

Tight & Firm Gen 3 by titanfirm
Bibo+ by tzarev, illydoesthings
Scaleless face textures by Almaden

For those who want their Au Ra to look a little more reptilian, draconic, or perhaps even demonic: these new asymmetric scales were made for you!

The ttmp2 installers only support female Au Ra, but the loose files in the download link under Files can be used to install these for other tall fem races.

⚠‼
Make sure you install Eska Scales (or any scaleless texture set) to Raen Face 1 along with your own face selection.
This fixes the neck seam issue for all faces/both clans.

The arms, legs, and spine are covered in hard, protective scales that fade with a smooth gradient into the characters' skin color. Palms, heels, fingers and toes are lined with soft reptilian skin that fades into the default 'human' skin. A mosaic pattern composed of larger scale segments decorate both sides of the body in a trailing, asymmetric arrangement.

A new style of custom, asymmetric body & face scales for all female Au Ra. Supports all 4 faces, both clans, comes in 4 colors, designed and hand-made by me. New toggleable face scales also included. Optional scaleless faces with horns recolored to b/w/vanilla come included. (Texture upscales+improvements & recolors for all 4 Au Ra tails also thrown in, just to save you time so you can quickly match. Custom tails also look very awesome with these imo.)

The scale placement & coverage was designed with players who like to use custom body sizes and size scaling, tattoo/scar/skin mods, and mix-matching body mods in mind. I tried to keep it easy to edit the colors in an image editor; every file you need is available as an unmerged, transparent PNG.

- Please have a Gen3 or Bibo+ BASE body mod installed first.
- It is highly recommended to install the Universal Female Compatibility Textures framework first to avoid any potential issues. https://xivmodarchive.com/modid/41351
—Penumbra users, set your mod priorities as follows:
0 = Body mod installer (such as Bibo+ or Tight&Firm Gen3)
1 = Any body size/shape mods (if desired)
2 = Universal Female Compatibility Textures
3 = Eska Scales - Body

Known issues:
There is a small texture misalignment seam on the wrists and ankles when using Gen2/vanilla mods mixed with Gen3/Bibo+ mods. Baking the textures didn't seem to remedy this, so I'll be leaving it as-is.
