Racial Skills & Stats Redone
-========================================================-


RSSR changes starting racial skill and stats to be a bit more faith full to Morrowind and Oblivion - I've made a sort of a hybrid of these and took some liberties in the case of Argonians and Imperials. Starting Health, Magic, Stamina and Carry Weight (300 was ridiculous so I've reduced it significantly) are also different for each race.

Additionally, racial powers have been modified to be actually somewhat useful and racial bonuses are added as a single fortify effect, so you can do bit more leveling for example - check the pictures to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

Vanilla Skills & Stats version also available!

-========================================================-

IMPORTANT:

- If you are updating from earlier version you must open the console, type "player.resurrect", save your game, exit to menu and then load the game for some of the changes to take effect.

-========================================================-

CHANGES:

When redefining the starting skills and stats I've consulted the TES lore as well as Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim bonuses . Thought in the end I've had to improvise a bit, especially with racial powers, to preserve some balance and diversity between races. Here's what I've came up with:

ADDITIONAL INFO:

- When using this mod with and existing save-game the skills and carry weight change as expected. However, the new stats (Health, Magic, Stamina) only work with a new character.

- A version with vanilla skills and stats is available - in case you just want to take advantage of the racial fortify effect

- Additional files include: Slower Leveling (Werewolves and Vampire Lord also affected); No Starting Spells (Flames and Healing); Lighter Tools (reduced wight for pickaxes and woodcutting axes)

- Check the first Sticky post in comments for info on recent and future updates

COMPATIBILITY:

Remember the LOAD ORDER is important when installing mods. To put it simple: a mod loaded on TOP of the load order will be overwritten by all the mods below and a mod loaded on the BOTTOM of the list will overwrite all the mods above - IF there is something to overwrite. I cannot tell you where to load RSSR precisely, so don't be afraid to experiment a bit.

Any other mod that somehow edits races will "conflict" with RSSR. I may provide compatibility patches for mods I consider essential or use myself though.


Currently Supported mods:

- Unnofical Patches (Skyrim - Heartfires - Dawnguard - Dragonborn)

I may add compatibility patches for other major mods if requested by enough people.

-========================================================-
TO INSTALL:

1. Unzip the rar file you chose to download into your Data folder
2. Run the Skyrim Launcher
3. Select Data Files and enable the appropriate esps
-or-
Use NMM

TO UNINSTALL:

1. Load your game with RSSR activated

Enjoy!
