Do you use Mod Manager or Vortex?

Define “not working”

Are you using this skin for your character or for Khajiit NPCs?

Does the skin revert back to its vanilla version, or are you seeing purple bodies?

Are you using a mod manager that does the installing for you or did you manually drop the files into your game folders?

If the skin reverts back to its vanilla state then something you downloaded replaced the mod’s skin files with the original ones.

If you’re seeing purple bodies then something you did is trying to apply the skin but is unable to find the correct files.

What mods did you download and install after this one?

I don’t use this mod but just looking at it it appears that A) you need to be using either the CBBE body or UNP body, and B) it replaces all male/female Khajiit skin textures and will not be compatible with any mods that try and do the same thing.

Are you using the correct body? Did you download and install another body mod other than CBBE or UNP? Did you download and install any mod that alters the appearance of Khajiit or other Khajiit skin textures?

Feminine Khajiit Textures (Grey Cat and Leopard) only replaces the vanilla female Khajiit textures. So some other mod must be overwriting the textures or is changing the file location for the female Khajiit textures.

Vortex should tell you if another mod is overwriting the textures, but a mod the changes the file location will not be detected by Vortex. You will have to find the mod that does that. It will have a plugin file

Find a mod that changes the Khajiit mesh file (it will be a ,nif) Then see if it has its own custom texture

When you say “switched off” do you mean you disabled the .esp/.esl under the plugins tab, disabled the mods under the “mods” tab, or removed the mods (should be blue and say “not installed”)?

You could try entirely uninstalling the mods you believe could’ve caused it, then reinstall the khajiit skin (right click it, press reinstall, and let it replace existing file), and see if that fixes the issue.

Yes, sometimes even when you just disable a mod it won’t actually remove all the files or put everything back to how it was. It doesn’t happen frequently but it CAN happen.

Try this.

Uninstall the ones you think could’ve been responsible (right click on them, hit remove, select remove again but not “delete archive”). They should turn blue and say “not installed”. Then do the same for your Khajiit skin, and install it again. Launch the game and see if it works again.

If it doesn’t, try uninstalling the Kahjiit skin once again, then verify the integrity of the game cache through Steam. If any of Skyrim’s files have been deleted, moved, altered, etc by one of these recent mods - they’ll be restored. Then reinstall the skin and again and check to see if it’s working.

The best way of determining what mod is causing a CTD is by following this general outline:

Troubleshooting Your Load Order
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/0/3109142236155416522/
(from PINNED TOPIC Helpful Links and References, Section 5 - General Troubleshooting)

As to the disabling of mods on a current save, there is this - which fully explains the issue:

You CANNOT Remove Mods Mid-Playthrough
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/0/1520386297681801135/

Good luck!

^Correction: SOME mods cannot be uninstalled/installed during an active game.

Textures, skins, animations, weapons/armor sets, item replacers, NPC replacers (unless they change the weight of the NPC), and more can be freely added/removed at will with no serious issues.

I am starting a new game so it's not the uninstalling this mod during the game I'm actually starting a new game going in the character creation menu looking at the character and it's not working

Try entirely removing the skin - fully uninstall it and then redownload it again from Nexus or wherever you got it and install it again. Load up a new game, see if it works again.
