I’ve always hated how Argonian horns use their skintone. I wanted to do something about it, and, well, I also did some more stuff too.

What this mod does:
- Increases the poly count and smooths the meshes
- Splits all the meshes to separate the horn from the scaly base, so that the base will keep using the skintone
- Removes the skin tint from the horns (and one set of horn rings)
- Covers all 'hair' horns and brow horns
- Horns are no longer hidden by (most) helmets/hoods/hats
Horns now have tri files, meaning RaceMenu users can edit them in the Sculpt menufeature removed in 2.1, due to CTD concerns- ESPFE/ESL-flagged

Update 2.0:
My horns no longer replace the vanilla records. Instead, they are new records and the vanilla records have simply had the Playable flag unchecked, therefore they will not show up in character creation. This works better with NPCs/NPC overhaul mods that use vanilla horns, as it won't cause an incompatibility and the dreaded dark face bug.
For those who generating their own facegen, 1.0 is in the Miscellaneous files, and the 1.0 NPC patches are in Old Files.
Compatibility:
- Texture mods - no textures are included, this mod will use your own textures. Any issues would probably be aesthetic.
- New horn mods - this mod does not replace the original meshes, so it shouldn’t technically conflict. The other mods won’t benefit from the new meshes without a patch, however
- High Poly Heads - optional mesh replacement file now available
- NPCs - will need a patch to be effected
- Horns Are Forever - cannot make compatible, BUT this mod includes the tweak it makes to meshes
Available Patches
- High Poly Heads
- Kabu’s Argonian Fins
- More Horn Styles for Argonians (No NPCs)
- BeastHHBB Patch (WIP - Currently Female only)

This mod was a painstaking amount of work to do, so if you like it please endorse it!
I’ve also made a similar mod for orcs’ brow horns here, if you're interested.
