(If you want your tails to work you REALLY want this one)

Hi! For those who are confused, this is a Dawntrail Update for my old mod release of a similar name!
The original release was my first mod and was split between both genders which made for a very stark difference in quality between the male and female versions, especially for those who wanted to edit the files and further customize their character.

I've since then learned a lot more about modding and workflow and was given the opportunity to apply these new tricks to a brand new Viera'ra release, rather than taking the lazy route and running it through the Dawntrail Upgrader.

So, what are the expected features of this new version?
Well here's a quick rundown:
Scales+ and Dragonborn options
TBSE, TBSE-Q/X, YAB, and Bibo support
Poseable Tails that can be animated with Miqo'te or Au'ra animations
Togglable Black Sclera for both sexes
Seamless Body and Face scale transition
Interchangeable Horns NOT attached to piece of gear
Croc, Sting, and Improved Tail options
Easy to mod for!

In addition, due to this being an AIO for both genders, I can more easily work on fixes as I won't have to bounce between mods and scrutinize every issue individually.

Makeup Mods or Sculpts with unique face textures

【FAQ】

Q: "Why don't you have this scale/tail mod included too?"
A: In short, uhh, my sanity? I choose the two most popular options for scales as well as the 3 most popular options for tails and had consider adding others, but I wanted to avoid bloat and feature creep.

Q: "Other races?"
A: In a bajillion years

Q: "Why did this take so long?"
A: Mental health, lack of motivation, and busy life

Q: "Tail isn't working!"
A: Make sure you download IVCS, other than that it's either a mod conflict or you lack the proper character animations. If you want to know if it's working as intended, draw your weapon and see if your tail moves. If it does, it works! It will be stiff if you are using standard Viera-specific animations

Q: "The Tail doesn't change size"
A: I tried to figure this one out but I honestly couldn't have been bothered beyond the third attempt since I noticed a lot of individuals just edited their tails to be bigger anyways. I'll probably investigate it thoroughly on a rainy day, but for now average sized tails are what we have. Sorry!

Q: "The mod installer is confusing!"
A: This is an unfortunate side effect of taking what was once two separate mods, increasing their options, and then hoping for the best. Whilst I probably could've made it more streamlined, this is ultimately what I had to rest with.
To dispel any further confusion though.
M is for Male, F is for Female. Each Face Scale Pattern correlates to a name and each Horn correlates to some combination of "M1-M4" and "F1-F4"
In addition, any option you're using must have it's base files activated. Most of the other options should be self explanatory like matching scales with their proper color.

This segment is particularly special to me because the people you see in the banner are my first beta testers!
Whilst not all are present, I promised to those that did decide to donate their bones (unless they asked me not to) I would credit their blorbos. And so here we are! (Please bare in mind, some if not most are these accounts contain NSFW material. Please continue with this knowledge and Minors DNI)
