Games typically do not implement "real" subsurface scattering, because that would be way too costly to compute. As with almost every other effect too, it is therefore faked. In this case the challenge is, that the game has to know how the object looks beneath the surface. This is done with a dedicated subsurface scattering texture.

May 10, 2021 · Subsurface scattering specifically refers to objects in the game having more realistic opacity rather than being completely opaque for everything(for example when light hits an object that is not fully opaque irl, it's not fully reflected off of it nor is the part that is not immediatelly reflected totally absorbed, some of the light will enter ...

Apr 17, 2021 · Subsurface scattering looks great in particular on skin textures. But it can really provide a very subtle but more realistic and three dimensional feel in general. The mod in WiP is a port of a PC mod which can apply this to Skyrim.
