About this mod
Preset for Vanilla Human Races and Epic Elves Race Race Menu and ECE.
- Permissions and credits
ECE Users, Please note that the ECE versions look a bit different than the original RaceMenu versions, especially the Epic Elves. But I think they are pretty close and still look really good. You are more than welcome to do any tweaking and please share your screenshots, I'd love to see them.
You don't technically need anything for this preset other than Race Menu by expired6978, so you will also need SKSE. The eyes are from the Skyrim.esp. If you want it to look exactly like the picture, here is what you will need.
Requirements
SKSE (Obviously) But if you are just seeing this and don't have SKSE or RaceMenu than you can download SKSE from http://skse.silverlock.org/
RaceMenu
-OR-
Enhanced Character Edit by ECE team
For the Epic Elves Plugin you will need the Epic Elves race by zzjay. The Epic Elven Preset will not work on regular Elf races because the Epic Elves Race has custom ear meshes and some custom meshes and textures for its own ECE Plugins. You can use it but it will look a little silly. You can go into the Sculpt tab and fix it by smoothing out the edges.
Recommendations
For the way it works in the picture, you have a few option. Here are the mods I used.

You can use any face texture you want. Here are some suggestions but feel free to use any.
SG Female Textures Renewal by Hello Santa. Be sure to read the Requirements for that.
Enhanced Character Edit by ECE team. If you are using both RaceMenu and ECE, note that both pages say they not compatible with each other. RaceMenu takes priority but you only need ECE for the female face textures (like if you are using SG Textures by renewal) you simply download ECE and then disable it in your load order because it will not work correctly if using RaceMenu. Basically, the ECE Presets wont work among other minor things.
Better Makeup for SKSE by Diethardt is also a good resource. I highly recommend you use a skse.ini which Better Makup will explain to you how to create.
-Or-
If you are really lazy about it you can just download one from SKSE ini pre-download for lazy users by Sagittarius22.
Now for my face meshes.
I came across this method while using a Nina preset for RaceMenu by shadowfake aka taveira. To get that preset the way it appears, you will need to replace the face and body textures with the ones found in Aurora and Twilight Followers - Voiced with Body Changer by VRDaphni-VRApollo-Shadowfake. This is how you do that.
1)Download Aurora and Twilight Followers from link above
2)Make a back up of your female files. Copy and Paste them somewhere easy to remember. I keep mine in a folder on my desk top.
3)Locate Aurora Textures: Data/textures/Actors/character/AuroraFollower [there are 3 folders, 2 of them are for different body types, open the one you use and copy its textures].
4) Place the textures at: Data/textures/Actors/character/female
Feel free to change your character however you want and please post your pictures. Don't forget to Endorse if you like it.
Oh, and one more thing. This armor works REALLY well for the Epic Elven Race. Again, completely optional.
ESO Altmer Armor by NewerMind43 RELOAD by NewerMind43
You can use the ESO Altmer Armor Bodyslide HDT by Raelfallen which has its own requirements so make sure you download what is needed.
