About this mod
Elder Scrolls lore says that only Black Soul Gems can be used to trap the souls of humanoid races. Unfortunately Bethesda left a few of the humanoid races trappable by regular Soul Gems. This mod aims to correct this...

- Permissions and credits
- Donations
Elder Scrolls lore describes Black Soul Gems as being special in that, unlike regular Soul Gems, they can be used to trap the souls of humanoid races.
In vanilla this includes Imperials, Nords, Bretons, Redguards, Orcs, High Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Argonians, Khajiit and Dremora, but misses a few important groups of humanoids:
- Draugr and Dragon Priests are the not-quite-dead-yet ancestors of the Nords. Weird, certainly - but Human, just like the Nords.
- Falmer are the descendants of Snow Elves. They might be corrupted, but they're still Mer.
- Giants and Rieklings are humanoids with their own language and complex cultures that predate the arrival of Men and Mer to Tamriel.
- Hagravens are Forsworn females that have undergone transformation due to their magic, but they're still Bretons at heart.
This mod changes all of these races of humanoids to make sure that their souls are only trappable using Black Soul Gems.
I discovered this lore-related error while developing for the Unofficial Skyrim Modder's Patch. While I would consider it a correction I'm aware it could unbalance the game for those players that rely on a steady source of regular Soul Gems throughout their play. Since USMP is designed to enhance (not reduce) modder choice, I decided to release this as a stand-alone mod, so you could decide whether you want to use it or not!
Since it modified races in both Dawnguard and Dragonborn, you'll need both of those DLCs installed.
Should be compatible with absolutely everything, except those mods that change the race records for those races mentioned above.
Simply download with your mod manager of choice and activate!
I consider this mod to be a modder's resource, so feel free to do what you like with them - Just provide due credit and a link back to my Nexus profile. While you don't have to message me to ask for permission, drop me a note and let me know what you've done with them - I always love to see what other have made with things I've released into the wild!
