About this mod
This is a script free mod that redesigns all Racial bonuses, skills and descriptions to better contrast classic TES games in a simple, immersive way.

- Permissions and credits
Recently whilst preparing my mod order for an upcoming playthrough of Skyrim I was disheartened by the fact I couldn't find any mod I liked
that addressed racial bonuses and skills because they all had some combination of flaws ranging across unaddressed bugs, scripts, poor balance, new skills not fitting the race, ect. This left me with no choice but to make a mod to update the races and skills personally because they were, in my opinion, quite terrible in the vanilla game. The game this is intended for would be one that uses difficulty mods as some of the new content is much more useful than what it replaced, and could potentially be overpowered for a vanilla difficulty setup. (although still perfectly usable) I personally highly suggest using Combat Evolved by CrushBoss as that is the difficulty enhancer I designed this towards, - I also suggest coupling CE with your favorite combat overhaul such as Ultimate Combat or Action Combat for maximum effectiveness. Again, this is completely optional and feel free to use
your own difficulty mods with this one if you want. I've taken much inspiration for this mod from the fantastic Morrowind mod Races Are More Fun by Alaisiagae and highly suggest checking it out.
This mod is 100% script free and does not edit any leveled lists, perks, spells or
anything else that could conflict with other mods except for those who
do exactly what this does. However, I have rolled forward some of the fixes from the unofficial patches to ensure maximum compatibility with them, and while they aren't masters for this mod I can't verify if not using them could produce unwanted results, though I don't think there should be a problem. However I strongly urge you to pick up the unofficial patches if you aren't using them already as they fix countless broken parts of the game and are truly indispensable.
:Requirements:
The base game and all official patches.
Dawnguard (this is needed for compatibility with the UDP, sorry)
:Incompatibility:
This mod will directly conflict with, and 100% incompatible with anything that edits the race records for the vanilla races, anything that edits racial skills or their descriptions and anything that uses resources from the racial skills. Combine those type of mods with mine at your game's own peril.
:Compatibility:
everything else.

Download the mod with your favorite mod manager or place the esp manually in your skyrim's data folder. Ideally this mod should be loaded close to the bottom, just before your combat mods.
