*as of v0.0.4
Optional Lore:
Did they come from below, deep from within the earth? When did they come here? These creatures, it never occurred to me that they were... not us. Am I the only one who sees it? The strange way their jaws moved, the unnatural way they spoke... It bothered me to no end. Suddenly it was like my eyes were opened, my neighbors, the gardener, the local hunter... Their crooked legs and clicking mandibles. They've been here all along, they sound the same and hum the same tunes and speak the same tongue, they're part of our communes and families, and yet they are not us.
After a long stretch of time stuck lost in the cave, I thought I was hallucinating... But they never... Returned to normal...
I know... I'm not crazy... No... The way the butcher was always too good at carving, the way the hunter almost blended into the world around him, the tailor's clothes were so silky and pure... Just strange people, we agreed.
I don't know why they're here, with us, living and thriving amongst us... I cannot bare the thought of...
A bug-like creature that evolved to mimick the Seraph, and adapted to either to live symbiotically alongside them or use them as their source of food... this has yet to be decided amongst them. This is acchieved by way of uhhh... Pheramones? Sonic waves? Temporal Manipulation? Also not known for sure. They cannot fool each other.
Compatibility
WIP! Most armor should at least show up and looks moderately ok unpatched.
Below are a list of specific patches included in the mod:
Recommended Mods
True Third Person - Makes 3rd person a lot more enjoyable (Suggested by Arlendo)
Vanity - Allows you to change the visibility of your armor. (Suggested by Arlendo)
Sit Comfortably - Silly position with built-in compatibility! (Suggested by Arlendo)
Known Issues
Unpatched armor mods should work as intended, but there will be cosmetic issues.
This mod uses a custom model, so animation mods will likely need tweaking to look proper.
Please report any funny business with mods!
Planned Content
Please look at my Trello! I usually hate listing stuff off-site, but this is more organized lol.

buggie
i cannot express in words the speed at which i downloaded this mod as soon as i saw it
bug time
YESS YESS YESSSS LETS GOOOO BUG TIME!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so so much....
tiny queastion... is it or would it be possible to add a config or something of the like to add more extra parts, and/or a toggleable pupils/different eye types option..? i have no idea how modding works for VS, so its completely understandable if that isnt possible or is too much work- and you already have alot on your plate, haha ^^ thank you so damn much again this is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: or is there a possible way for me to go into the json file and add more extra part slots? :]c
Found another minor issue I would love to see corrected in the future. One of my favorite cosmetics in the game is the Sheep Skull Mask, and I managed to find one while playing Insectoid. However, I was very sad to learn that it requires a part of the player body that you have disabled (the code mentioned "withsnout" I believe), leaving the mask as completely invisible.
Oh, also the 'hand' detaches from the wrist when using emotes from the Emote Menu Patched mod or flying on a Draconis dragon.
Back here to share a few mods that synergize and improved my enjoyment of this mod:
These models are a delight, waiting patiently for the planned additions!
hello big bug fan here
i just want to say your model is SO beautiful and i love it a lot. i keep going 3rd person to look at my bug and go :D
i made a firefly with touramline and rusted chitin and he looks SO so handsome. my pretty boy
thank you for this mod, lots of love <3 <3
Tetsune that would be fucking awesome!!!!!!!
Tetsune ah I see. My issue with the wings was more that they aren't as round as a typical moth or butterfly wing, not that they were too small. Though also the colors don't really work well on said wings, but if you're doing a subspecies anyway that probably doesn't matter right now. Thanks for the response.
Stygian_Ikazuchi I'm actually planning on a moth subspecies with a separate set of wing models that are more for the moth/butterfly folks! I initially dodn't want the wings to be large and obstructive for the hope of it not looking janky or needing a lot of patching, but with a subspecies I can toss suck it up for the moth fans
I'll adjust the chirp/flutter in the next update, should be out soon! Thanks for the feedback.
Could I suggest the moth wings' shape to be adjusted a bit? They don't really look like moth/butterfly wings. Also the Chrip and Flutter voices are waaaaaay too loud for the type of noise they make. My only complaints, really.
Aww man, this is just so cute! Finally, some bug cuties :)
Absolute perfect, These buggos will be a great addition to my friend group.
holy peak! this is high quality
Wow, looks really cool! Nice worka 💜
Thanks to everyone for your support so far!
Krazyfan1 I kept their wings small and underdeveloped since I don't have the option to fly yet, I've been debating on it. I'm new to modding so it may take a while lol
Mentalish Thanks for the hype, my dude! :D
SkollDrachen Maybe not a lion, but I was serious when I told myself I was going to tackle Khajiit next. :3c
Arlendo I love Luna moths, I just didn't want to add huge wings. Maybe I'll make a more butterfly/moth features as a separate subspecies
cute
Would be insanely cool if there was one subspecies that can fly but is more of a light scout kind of role!
BUGGY
Nice!
a previous mod was able to let their custom race fly, i wonder if thats possible here?
Big bug and insect fan here, awesome to see this!
Entomologist soul is satisfied. Would love to see an Actias luna based model.
Can confirm items are now held in the correct angle. Thank you for the models!
Dude lets goooooooooo Tetsune :D
oh my god this is adorable :D
Yeah, lots of equipment is being held upside down or at odd angles... has something to do with the sort of mantis claw hand design? I do not have Combat Overhaul, so while it could be related is not the whole problem.
Absolutely love what you've done here. Though i do appear to be holding weapons upside down. Not sure if thats a bad interaction with CO or something else i have installed.
oddly enough it kinda makes knives better for combat?
i decided to test this...how is this so much more done then the mijority of player models out there? like its even compatible with aldis classes. there timberborn class pants usually freak out on every model that adds odd legs but somehow this model is perfectly fine with it. like...how have you done this so well?
also somehow i got epic bugs before i got a lion.
wonderful bubgs <3
Houyami Also a known issue, I'm working to fix tools and such soon
I think I found a bug in the mod
The flint spear is currently slanted to the side and can make combat very awkward and hard especially with combat overhaul.
Awesome models!
idk how to feel. on one side this is really cool..on the other side i got bugs before i got a lion
it's hip
Amazing, I hope we can expect moths in the future.
