The Three Tribes : Structure Skins (feat. PaveTheRoad) (TTEyes)
ARK: Survival Ascended has always been about more than just surviving—it's about thriving in style. If you're tired of the same old thatch and wood boxes, it's time to elevate your base-building game. The Three Tribes : Structure Skins (feat. PaveTheRoad) (TTEyes) is a comprehensive cosmetic mod that transforms your structures into stunning works of art. Whether you dream of a cozy modern village, a rusted scrap-metal city, or a glowing sci-fi metropolis, this mod delivers it all with exceptional performance optimization.
What Does This Mod Bring to Your ARK?
This isn't just a single skin pack; it's a full suite of design tools. The mod is built around five distinct themes, each with multiple variants. You can apply these skins to most basic structures, including foundations, walls, ceilings, doors, roofs, pillars, fences, elevators, and gateways. The best part? Most skins support in-game coloring, allowing you to customize the Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow regions to match your exact vision.
1. Modern Village & Town Theme
Create a charming, livable settlement with the RedBrick and CafeStreet skins. The ColoredBrick and Limestone variants offer clean, minimal aesthetics perfect for finishing touches. For those who love detail, the Additional CafeStreet and Garden packs add specialized pieces like cornices, European doors, iron railings, and cozy garden decorations for walls and ceilings.
2. MetalPunk Theme
Embrace the wasteland with the Rust Metal skin, ideal for desolate scrap cities with glowing red windows. If you prefer a smoother look, the Steel Metal variant is perfect for submarine bases or frozen peak fortresses. For a touch of steampunk elegance, the Copper Metal skin blends copper, brass, and gold for a unique, polished vibe.
3. Sci-Fi Urban Theme
Build the future with the Tomorrowum skins. These feature soft glows and circular roof and ramp variants for rounded architectural designs. Pair them with the Tomorrowum Glass pieces, which use optimized shader technology to provide a subtle translucency without causing lag. The Tomorrowum Eco variant adds a nature-friendly touch to your futuristic cities.
4. Pet Display Skins
Showcase your shoulder pets in style with the Vivarium (a lush, misty habitat) or the CozyCushion (a warm resting spot with a matching dog house). Note that these require the Lost Colony DLC. A pro tip: apply the skin before placing your pet to avoid temporary invisibility.
5. Train Track Skins
If you own the Bob's Tall Tales DLC, you can reskin your train tracks into roads, monorails, or themed paths. Choose from Nature (Grass, Dirt, Snowy), Modern (Cafe Street, 1-Lane/2-Lane Road), ARK (Metal, TEK), or Medieval (Wood, Stone, Village, Castle, Brick) styles. The mod even includes intersection and endpoint stop decorations to complete your railway network.

One embraced greed and built the City of Primal Fury in the desert, another sought wisdom in the Seed of Hope on a barren hill, and the last found harmony in a coastal village. These factions eventually splintered into the Brass City, the Iron Bulwark, and the Luminous Future Base. The mod invites you to choose which tribe you will call home, letting your builds tell your story.
