Better Male skins anyone?

[Millennial_KiwiGamer]

Looking for better looking skins for Males for all races and preferably not nude. Any suggestions

[Migel]

I'd say your two best options are
SkySight Skins https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6580
and tempered Skins for Males https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7902

I'd also recommend getting the ported Xenius Character Enhancement to solve some issues with low poly face parts and RaceMenu to smoothen out and sculpt parts that still don't look right.

Not sure about Beastrace textures, I used to use CoverKhajiits and some others back on oldrim but it doesn't seem to be ported. The only "good" ones I've used myself were MONSTERaider's "masculine" series for the best races, they have vanilla versions, good patterns and coloring.

I've used these a lot. But I've never played a beast race in SE, so I'm not sure how good they really are for extended amounts of time.

Thanks just what I wanted.

Tempered Male Skins might suit you as well OP, it is on Nexus

Now trying to find nice Khajiit female CBBE skins.

MONSTERaider also covered those, along with feminine argonian skins. There's Vanilla versions as well. That said I'd still recommend you get CBBE, if you don't want nudity, CBBE has some retextured underwear options.
If you do get CBBE I feel like getting Fair Skin Complexion is also a must if you want to improve skin textures on female humans as well.

"Total Character Makeover" is not bad if a little basic. I use that in my game as a base for all NPC's then for any individuals ones (eg Farkas, Vilkas, - many of the followers in fact) - I use "Ashara SSE Followers Faces" (the male ones now look pretty hot in my game lol). Install this mod AFTER TCM. Link to mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2197

If you're using other skins for women though (eg CBBE) make sure you install CBBE AFTER Total Character Makeover to ensure it overwrites (otherwise you'll get brown skin bugs).

I'm a veteran player however and kinda use the mods I've used for a while which I was happy with - I'm sure there are newer better textures models on Nexus now - just haven't tried them out yet. I might try that SkySight Skins mentioned by Migel above although not sure my potato graphics card will handle 4k res textures.

Just to add on my previous post.. I decided to remove Total Character Makeover completely (as it's a little old now) and have gone with Skysight Skins... (loaded after Ashara Followers Faces). Vilkas is looking ruggedly handsome approximately in his 40s with these two mods combined :P (as is Farkas). The other men look good too, more realistic and lore-friendly. I definitely like Skysight. :)

It's a shame the men don't get as much attention aesthetics-wise as the women do, judging by the ton of mods available for women's looks in the game. Us girlies need hot studs!
