About this mod

I'm offering my simple retextures of the various animals here and bundled them al together on this page for ease of collecting. They can be safely installed as loose files.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
I've re-posted these here bundled onto one page for ease of use and finding. Any new retextured critters will also go here so they can be kept in one place.

Dawnguard Husky

After looking for a higher resolution texture for the husky from Dawnguard,
and only finding some that were the original texture made bigger, I
decided to do a full retexture job from scratch. Using high-res photos
of huskies, I made a completely new texture, and with a small tweak to
the mesh, was able to give the new husky odd-coloured eyes. This is a
common feature of many huskies, and one that I find adorable! Dogs are
available with male or female mesh and retextured leather armour.

Armoured husky has blue eyes, unarmoured has odd-eyes.

Added a German Shepherd (Alsatian) optional texture which I made as a tribute to my own dog.

*************************************************

Dogs

I made this as the dogs were so grey they were often difficult to see in
the less vibrant parts of Skyrim. I just wanted to add some colour.


*************************************************

Sabrecats (Smilodon)

I made this at a request, plus I like painting cat fur. The brown cat is
now more vibrant in colour, with bold, black tiger stripes, and the
white one is paler with defined leopard spots and ice-blue eyes.
Respective pelts are also made to match. Mounted cat heads will also
have the same new textures.

*************************************************

Hairier Werewolf

I wanted a more hair-covered wolfy that looked a bit less moth-eaten and
threadbare patchy, so I performed a bit of a hair transplant! I also
made the werewolf lighter in colour, more like a real wolf.

*************************************************

Red Werewolf

I made this for my high elf character, Vernon, who has red hair - I felt
that he should keep the hair colour even in his wolfy form! I may
eventually make others sepending on my characters' hair colour.


*************************************************

Trolls

I woke up one morning with this urge to retexture trolls! I've made them a
little more colourful; frost troll has whiter fur and blueish-purple
skin and blue eyes. Common troll has browner fur and yellow eyes. The
Uderfrykte is now pale skinned and ginger-furred with red eyes.

I made an extra version for those who want them - these trolls are male!
Both frost and common troll now have male parts to match their
colouring. The Uderfrykte I believe is female, so left that one as such.

*************************************************

Skeevers

Just because they're rats doesn't mean they have to be grotty and
ill-looking - besides, I actually like rats! I decided to give the
skeevers a total overhaul, with sleek, healthy fur, along with some
fancy markings. There is a brown and a grey variant (replacing the
original black and white), both have a stripe of white along their backs
- just because I felt like it. And it makes them easier to see! Texture
alpha channel and normal map have both been reworked, and now at higher
res than the originals.

I've included an edited skeever mesh, as I had to tweak the UV map to get the effects I wanted.


*************************************************

Wolves

I made this at a request, plus I like painting fur. The black wolf (most
common) is now more like timber-wolf colouring, pale legs and fawn body
with some black. Ice wolves are now whiter with ice-blue eyes.
Respective pelts are also made to match. Mounted wolf heads will also
have the same new textures.

*************************************************

Bears

Bears have had an overhaul to make them more distinct from each other. Polar
bear now has the more typical black tongue and more creamy fur.

*************************************************

Mountain Goats

Inspired by mountain goats in the real world, I made these white. Old Man of the Mountain!

*************************************************

Foxes

I received a request for a fox retexture, so I did these Red fox is
redder, with black legs+ears and deep-orange eyes, arctic fox is whiter
with black pads and blue eyes.

All these can be considered as modders' resources.
