RandisChristmasCosmetics
The holiday season brings a unique challenge to survivors on the ARK: Survival Ascended servers. While taming and building never stop, your base can look a little less like a metal box and a lot more like a winter wonderland. That is exactly where RandisChristmasCosmetics steps in. This premium mod, which works on official servers, is packed with dozens of festive skins that let you deck out your entire settlement without sacrificing performance or gameplay balance.
Why Choose RandisChristmasCosmetics for ARK: Survival Ascended
Unlike many mods that alter core mechanics, this add-on focuses purely on aesthetics. All skins are located in your Custom Cosmetics Tab, neatly organized in the folder called "Custom Cosmetics Available." This means no messy inventory clutter and no confusing crafting recipes. You simply unlock the skin and apply it to the appropriate structure. The mod is fully compatible with the latest versions of ARK: Survival Ascended, including recent patches and seasonal updates. Whether you are on a private server with friends or a bustling official cluster, the mod integrates seamlessly without conflicting with other popular building and QoL mods.
Gingerbread and Snow House Skins
Turn your humble adobe into a confectionary masterpiece. The mod includes four varieties of Gingerbread house skins and a set of Snow House skins. These are perfect for creating a themed village or a cozy retreat in the tundra. The level of detail is impressive, with frosting-like trim and candy accents that pop against the snowy landscape.
Small Decor Box Christmas Decorations
If you prefer subtle accents, the small decor box category has you covered. These items are designed to be placed on walls and ceilings, adding charm without taking up floor space.
- Small String Lights - Paintable, perfect for outlining doorways.
- Large String Lights - Paintable, ideal for grand halls.
- Garland - Paintable, drapes beautifully over windows.
Festive Decor for Every Size
The real stars of the show are the items that work with small, medium, and large decor boxes. This versatility allows you to scale your decorations to fit the structure you are adorning. The Christmas Trees come in three varieties and are fully paintable, letting you match your tribe colors. The Wreath and Snowman (with hat and scarf) are also paintable. For a sweet touch, you can place Candy Balls in five colors, Gummy Bears in six colors, and Candy Canes that are paintable. The Mint, Gingerbread Man, and Lollipop skins all follow the same rule: use the small decor box for walls, and the medium or large for sitting on the ground. Finally, the Igloo comes in three sizes, though it is purely decorative and does not provide shelter.
Festival of Lights Sign Skins
For those who want to build an outdoor winter park, the Festival of Lights signs are a must-have. These skins transform your park into a dazzling display. The Light Tunnel comes in four colors, and you can also craft a Candy Cane Archway. The Lighted Lamppost and Lightbulb Arch both have paintable lights. Other options include Jack Frost, an LED Christmas Tree, a Reindeer Archway, a Candle, a Dragon, and the Festival of Lights Archway. You will also find Lollipops, a Moose, a Reindeer, Santa, Candy Canes, a Snowman, a Single Candy Cane, a Single Lollipop, and a Star. Each of these can be sized to small, medium, or large decor boxes, giving you complete control over your layout.
Special Skins for Functional Structures
Beyond pure decoration, this mod offers skins for items you already use daily. The Park Bench skin applies to the Wooden Bench and is paintable. The Fireplace skin for the indoor fireplace features paintable lights, creating a warm glow. The Country Christmas Table skin works on the Wooden Table and is paintable. For outdoor warmth, the Outdoor Firepit skin transforms your Campfire. You can also wrap presents with the Gifts skin, which comes in 10 varieties and applies to the Wooden Storage Box. If you want a frosty look, the Snow Table and Snow Bench skins make your furniture appear carved from ice. The crown jewel is the Tribe Tower Christmas Tree, which turns your entire tribe tower into a giant, glowing Christmas tree visible from across the map.
