Ha, I must have skipped right over that. Glad I wasn't crazy though!

Quick update, I did finally manage to get a superior fur! It was after updating to 3.86 and was probably only the second fur I tanned after updating, so part of me still wonders if it was an issue in 3.85. I didn't see anything in the patch notes about it, but I also didn't look too hard. Perhaps it really was just a matter of trying enough times.

and what we really want to know is whether superior furs are possible in 3.85.

That's what I'm starting to lean toward: a bug in 3.85 (or perhaps it's intended?). I will say I've only tried stripping naked and dropping everything except the fur and fat a couple of times, it didn't work so I stopped bothering. It's not a huge problem, since I have enough fine furs to buy anything I could possibly want, it's just strange that a character with 100 Hideworking skill can't get a superior fur.

Just a follow up, having tried to tan (I'd guess) about 2 dozen skins that started as "superior" but still inevitably degrade to "fine" in the second step of tanning. I almost wonder if it's related to the fact that the fat I'm using is only ever of default "decent" quality? As far as I know there's no tanning material that can have higher quality than that, and it's hard to imagine that it *should* matter, but I can't think of anything else that would cause it, except maybe superior furs being much more rare than I thought.

I have succeeded in getting a superior fur.  It's quite uncommon as you note, the quality usually degrades before the tanning process completes.  In general I try to reduce my character's penalty as much as possible before each step of the process.  This was taken back in September of 2020.  Hideworking skill is currently 88 and a fine broad knife is in his inventory.

Good to know it's not just a pipe dream! I'll keep trying, it's bound to happen sooner or later.

I haven't tried dropping everything yet, I'll try and give that a shot (though as JP_Finn points out it's unlikely the issue, but who knows). And I actually have a masterwork broad knife. I just can't seem to get through all the steps without quality degrading to "Fine." It also might be that I'll get one eventually, but I've made a LOT of furs (as the 100 skill level shows lol). It just seems strange to me.

I suppose I'll keep trying, thanks for your help!

My character is currently at skill level 100 in Hideworking, yet I've never been able to make a superior fur. I can get a superior skin sometimes, and keep the quality through cleaning, but as soon as I get to the first "Tanning" step (applying the tanning material, i.e. the animal's fat) the quality inevitably degrades to Fine. I'm wondering if it's even possible for a character to create a superior fur or if I'm doomed to disappointment every time I try.

It's definitely in the UnrealWorld folder along with the other diy_* files, but I'm still not seeing it in the Utility Articles menu after pressing '+'.

Tried to use your mod following the directions you gave, but I can't seem to find the recipe in the Utility Articles menu. It may be an error on my end, I've been playing a long time but haven't used any mods in years. I'll add that I'm not using any other mods.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [corrected] Minor typo

Hi, I found a minor typo in the description for the spell "Greeting the earth upon going to sleep," it says "angerered" instead of "angered".
