(Originally published 2/26/2024 on XMA)

This modpack has been very ambitious and was meant to only be private at first. However, private mods are kinda really dumb, so after chatting with my partner (who most of this was initially made for, and who helped me with a lot of the texture issues), and seeing the demand for this, we’ve decided to post this so that YOU can make your Zenos into a primal and live out your fantasies of our favorite scaly barbie boy.

So far there are a few issues with this pack, but we will be doing our best to fix them in the future. Right now, we feel as though this is ready to be put out and used, but please stay tuned for updates.
Oh and we also plan to give him face scales eventually.

Below i’ve also linked several resources to build-a-boy your own Zenos! Wowie!

KNOWN ISSUES:
1. The wings are NOT poseable as they were not weighted to Skelomae or IVCS wing bones, but they will move with your torso.
2. The tail is kinda ‘detached’ from the body. It sits above the butt, and isn’t connected to the torso, but don’t tell nobody. (i just didn’t want it to clip through the belly on accident. weh.)
3. There IS a neck seam with the scales enabled. Right now, we can’t figure out what the exact issue is, sorry!

THIS PACK COMES WITH TWO .PMP FILES & A LOOSE TEXTURE FILE

ZENRYU SCALES:
– A PORT OF DRAGONBORN SCALES to M elezen!
– A CUSTOM DRAGONBORN RECOLOR to match Shinryu’s wings!

WINGS, TAIL & CHEST CRYSTAL:
– SHINRYU’S WINGS & POSABLE/ANIMATED TAIL on L copper ring! (they glow too!)
– GLOWING CHEST CRYSTAL on R aetherial silver ring!

Talon feet PNG:
– A CUSTOM RECOLOR OF TALON FEET by Oricalcon! (loose PNG file ONLY)

TO MAKE YOUR ZENOS…

https://www.glamourdresser.com/mods/zenos-hair-for-zenos-head-mod
– TBSE + TBSE-X + TBSE-Q for body
– Smoll or Tall to make him BIG (Under ‘Male elezen maximum size’, I have mine personally scaled to 1.180 so he’s about 8 feet tall, tho Zenos is 7’5″ ish canonically. I just like the size diff ok.) https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/54469
– Mess with Customize+ for scaling the THICK BOY
