About this mod
A set of 30+ overlays made from the ideas of members of the community! This mod took over a month to make and is the highest quality work I have put out so far. Contains many different kinds of overlays from warpaints, bodypaints, tattoos, dragon scales, blood stains, and much more! In total there are around 110 Individual Overlays!

-Overview-
This mod was a project of mine to give something back to the community that has supported me so much, by not making what I wanted to make, but making what some members of the community wanted to see in an overlay! Some of the people I decided to work with were not very big, but they all have big hearts and a passion for modding and screen-archery! Many of them contributed images to the mod, as I was not allowed to take any pictures for this mod, so be sure to check out their profiles and support them if you like their work!
Whats included?
30 Sets of unique overlays, each designed according to the parameters given to me by different community members! Some cover more than one part of the body, and may come in multiple layers! There are also some extra goodies I left in for the fun of it! You may also check out all the gorgeous screenshots taken by members of the community who helped me to get this mod ready, I highly recommend you check out their work and give them a ton of support, I have their profiles linked below!
But to be more precise... There are 111 overlays in this mod! There are Bodypaints, Dragon Scales, Mystical Fire, Blackout Tatoos, and soo much more in this mod! It is quite literally a grab bag, and each had a lot of time and effort put into it until the person they were inspired by was satisfied!
Whats planned for the future?
This mod is in general 100% complete! I may add some minor changes as bugs pop up, but you can rest assured that this is the best quality I can manage to bring you! If you have any ideas for anything feel free to stop by the Discord linked below to check on the progress of this or any of my future mods! Keep in touch and I may include some ideas of your own for a future installment!
To keep connected and updated with mods I am making, follow me on twitter (I also post screenshots regularly) or join my discord server if you want some conversation! All are welcome! Feel free to drop by either and say hi, I love hearing from you all! I appreciate all the support!

-Special Edition-
-Community Overlays 2-
-Requirements-
SKSE - This is required to use tintmasks of much higher quality than what is allowed in vanilla.
(For RaceMenu Files) RaceMenu - You will need this to be able to use the RaceMenu files provided by this mod.
-Main Files Descriptions-
All of these files come in 2K and 4K versions.
-Please note that in order for the face warpaints/makeups to show up at full resolution, you will need to adjust some settings in the SKSE config, more info on that below-
-Main Version UNP -
These files install all the UNP textures in either 2K or 4K, as well as enabling the RaceMenu functionality of the mod! Overlays added by this version are designed to fit the UNP family of bodies, so choose it if you use 7B, UUNP, UNP or any other UNP variant!
-Main Version CBBE -
These files install all the CBBE textures in either 2K or 4K, as well as enabling the RaceMenu functionality of the mod! Overlays added by this version are designed to fit the CBBE family of bodies, so choose it if you use CBBE, CBBE Bodyslide, or any CBBE variant!
-Optional Files Descriptions-
-Male Replacer 2K and 4K-
These files replace many of the textures in the mod with a version that fits MUCH better on males, and all of the face-paints were adjusted as well if you wanted to use them for a male character rather than a
-Soft Versions UNP-
This file replaces paints 00, 10, and 30 with some enhanced versions, which hold up much better for close-ups! UNP only for now, as it takes quite a lot of time to perform the enhancement in a way that looks consistent.
-Face Overlays-
These files include the textures used by the "Face Paint" section in RaceMenu, which is not something you will normally have, basically this is for those who want to have the option to use RaceMenu's "Face Paint" instead of RaceMenu's "Makeup"!
-Mod Usage-
In order to use the mod, you will need RaceMenu installed, which allows you much more options for character customization. Inside of RaceMenu, shortly after the normal character customization options, you will find the Makeup, Body Paint, Hand Paint, and Foot Paint sections, with a list of textures inside. To select a texture to add to your character, press "T" over one of the values that show up, which will bring up a large list of all the overlays you have available to you.
At the bottom there should be a search bar, which you can type into to specify what you are looking for. To help the user to find the overlays that will best fit the character they are using, all overlays added by the mod come with the prefix CO, and followed by the number the overlay corresponds to.
Thus, typing into the search bar in the texture lists "CO 00", will pull up the Lusaria bodypaint!
-Installation-
Installation is simple, simple extract the files and move the data folder inside to your Skyrim directory. Otherwise, you may use Vortex or NMM to install by choosing download with Vortex/NMM in the files section.
-Uninstallation-
If you installed using Vortex NMM, or any other mod organizer, you will likely be able to uninstall using it.
To uninstall the mod for RaceMenu, you may disable the mods esp, as well as delete the folder for the mods textures found here "textures/actors/character/Overlays/Community Overlays"
-Setting up SKSE for HD Tintmasks-
Navigate to your SKSE directory in data, and create/open the SKSE.ini file (you can save as "All file types" and add the .ini after).
Inside, you should add/find [Display]
underneath this, you should add
iTintTextureResolution=2048 (or whatever size textures you are looking to use.)
Here is an example of the contents of SKSE.ini file with the texture resolution set to 2048x2048
[General]
EnableDiagnostics=0
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048
[Memory]
defaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
scrapHeapSizeMB=256
Otherwise, if you wish to, you can use a premade config from the miscellaneous files of this mod.
