a collection of manually customized textures
to provide naturally appearing female hands and nails for (all) female NPC and as an individual option for popular custom races, fine tuned for unp high poly hand meshes

your character, npc and follower will appear cuter applying this unp compatible package to vanilla and custom npc and races!

if you already know or like my presets (coco, maryl, katarina, reja, Icy Lady...)i warmly recommend to use the unp cute fingers seamless body option if you don't do already! all my preset related images are taken with this body/face/fingers skin mod.

if you are unsure about this mod have a look at my user images! many thanks to blackmaid and queenieangel for their beautiful images!

in my opinion reasonable appearing fingers and hands have same priority than other body parts or face. many images here on nexus gave me the impression that some research on increasing the quality and natural appearance of these bodyparts could be an enrichment for skyrim charcters and npc.   
so i applied some additional detail on female hand and body textures with the result that there is hopefully no need to hide female characters or npc hands anymore and skin appears almost natural and seamless.

the provided files are high res 8k, 4k and normal map is uncompressed otherwise all closeup scenes look crap. this should cost no frame at all but if you play on a very low end rig with limitded hardware this mod is probably not made for you!

this mod was designed while using and testing my ningheim presets to provide them with the perfect skin base. especially the face skin suits perefectly my presets. so if you use or like to use my presets you will get a really good result with this skin mod.

these three points are important to know:

this mod pack should be last skin mod in load order to work properly!

it is probably not compatible with mods changing the body/hands from unp to other body options or esp mods changing hand related meshes or textures! activating those mods does no harm but in some or even all cases you will not see the full result of my mod.

be aware that this mod covers the vanilla path as default setting. if you like the high res fingers and skin for vanilla and you want them to be applied to your custom followers and races,  the unp body meshes (if not already included) and the files of this mod must be copied manually into the appropriate individual path of the custom race or follower to overwrite the standard skin and body files with the files of this mod.
because this is a complex process including the ability to make textures seamless while maintaining the individual appearance of the race, i added two optional seamless packages for luanri and ningheim race for easy installation.
i recommend mod organizer as the superior tool for applying mods to skyrim without doing harm. in case something does not work as intended just deactivate or delete the installed mod. in all other cases be sure to make a backup before!

if armor or clothes use their own meshes you still may encounter seams or low poly fingers if your character or npc is using this kind of clothes or armour. this is normal and can only partly be healed by a mod like HN66s Gauntlet support overriding in this case the low poly vanilla hand mesh with a high poly one.

main file: cute fingers unp body pack for vanilla races.
you will install the seamless hand and fitness body textures i use currently plus high poly hand meshes. i recommend this option for the best seamless skin experience. if you still have problems with seams put my mod at the end of the loadorder and check if your body meshes are unp compatible. it does affect all vanilla races but no custom race including dependet followers and no standalone followers!

additionally you can try my optional cute coloured nails texture pack. this is a highres texture replacer option for natural looking nails. it needs no esp. be aware that it changes all vanilla females fingernails of the upgraded vanilla races or the optionally upgraded custom races. just overwrite the hand texture in the main folder with an option in one of the nail folders. all hand textures are same res with different nail colors. they look even better than most overlays and fit 100% to the finger nails even if you use different compatible body/hand meshes

you will find also a cutefingers skin as optional file pack for lunari race

i spent some time to paint the details for the cute fingers normal map and to get it working almost seamlessly as you can see in the screenshots.

you may use this file to pimp your all your races (including vanilla just use main file ) and npc. in most cases you have to place the files manually for custom races or if the follower uses it's own filepath for body files. in case of ningheim race i did this already for you and you may download my cute fingers ningheim unp pack.
