About this mod

A new tail design for Male and Female Viera, now updated for Dawntrail! Made to fit more nicely alongside the vanilla textures. Male and Female use the same model but the tails are adjusted in size/angle to account for the back arches in both genders! Highlight and No Highlight versions.

The new main file is the same as the original mod, just with updated textures for the HD graphics bump in Dawntrail!

Lady Nyoko and Dog in Space reached out to me with an updated file! They had taken it upon themselves to update the textures on these tails and also fixed a stray point I had missed, as well as put them together in a nice mod package.
Now the tails look great alongside the HD graphics of Dawntrail and I really can't thank them enough for having gone through the effort of getting these updated. Genuinely awesome of them to do, please take a look at their pages they linked me to support or follow them!:

The below description has been kept for posterities sake as the original version of this mod is available as an archive download: 
A new tail design for Male and Female Viera. The same newly designed model is used for both male and female, but the tails are adjusted to account for the back arches in both genders! Highlight and No Highlight versions available.

When importing the mod in to TexTools you will be able to choose which of the tails are imported. This lets you choose to have highlighted or non-highlighted tails per Ear Shape for each gender.


INSTALLING
If you want to mix and match, please take care to NOT import 2 models for the same model number (technically the ear shape).
For example, if you import "Female Viera Tails - New Design - Highlight" to models:
Ear - c1801z0003_zer
Ear - c1801z0001_zer

Then you should import "Female Viera Tails - New Design - No Highlight" to models:
Ear - c1801z0002_zer
Ear - c1801z0004_zer

This will make sure you don't double up/overwrite the models or cause any issues.
The main thing you should pay attention to in the names is the "z000#" part. It will end in 1, 2, 3, or 4. This tells you literally what ear model it's being applied to - 1, 2, 3, or 4.


DELETING
When removing the mod, delete the actual ModPack under your "Mods> Mod List> Manage Mod List> ModPacks" section in TexTools. Do NOT try and delete the mod by removing its individual elements under its gear option, (unless of course you know what you're doing). This can break textures in unexpected ways. If your texture breaks for any of the mods, just delete and re-import the mod of of your choice :)


WIP
Some very minor adjustments might happen over the next few weeks. But I am largely happy with the state the mod is currently in. There's part of me that thinks the Male Viera tails might be a little too large? But I also kind of love it? If you have any thoughts feel free to let me know!

These tails are not as fluffy as other models or my own previous model, I wanted to make something that works better with armor/feels like it fits in the game better next to vanilla models!
The downside being that the female Viera tails specifically are too large to fit nicely in the Female Viera Racial gears "tail pocket" thing. My solution to this was to literally just edit the chest piece to force it to fit the tails. This is available to download alongside the tails in this modpack in the files section, but is completely optional.
