This is a backport of FK's Diverse Racial Skeletons of the Special Edition. If any of you have any sort of problems with this backport here, do not bother FK with them. Expect zero response from FK if you do not heed these warnings.

With that out of the way, FK can explain the rest. I'll edit some things along the way. {My notes will be in between brackets like this.}

Do not ask the XPMSSE folks for help. also read the install notes.


Wait, isn't this mod just a reverse-engineered Racial Body Morphs and you're actually a dirty, thieving, evil mod pirate?




The main differences are:
  • Rebuilt from scratch using XPMSSE v4.72, which hopefully means that it just works™ with all the latest body & physics mods
  • Comprehensive documentation for mod makers (see included .xlsx files)
  • Racial types share the same base skeleton, which maybe makes it more compatible out-of-the box with Nemesis
    • beast races were modified using an edited skeletonBeast.nif
    • non-beast races were modified using an edited skeleton.nif
  • The collision bug that breaks FUS RO DAH and other knockdown attacks has been fixed
  • IMO, skeleton edits are more consistent
    • skeletons are now symmetrical
    • Altmer men are now taller than Altmer women
    • removed edits to female khajiit and argonian finger bones
  • Dawnguard & USSEP records are forwarded, eliminating the vampire facial bugs
  • Racial heights are now based off of Morrowind's lore
  • Racial names have been changed for maximum I M M E R S I O N



Installation:
  • Install via MO2 and let it overwrite XPMSE. I don't use Vortex or NMM, so I won't be able to help with those. {I personally use NMM cause it just works for me. You can install it normally. I don't use Vortex.}
  • {Recommendations for LE - Furnitures Height Size Fix LE and Skyrim Enhanced Camera}



FAQ:
  • Will you please make a patch for [insert mod name]?
    • Probably, unless it involves skeleton edits. Then no. Do it yourself.




Special thanks to:
  • Trainwiz, for the super-useful tutorial
  • Rogueshot, for being wonderful and for responding to my messages
  • Sattyre, for beta-testing
  • OHSB, for Racial Body Morphs
  • Groovtama et al, for XPMSSE and for helping me fix issues regarding Deadly Mutilation compatibility - {Uploader did not make a Deadly Mutilation Patch. I'm gonna have to ask FK about that, since I personally don't use it.}
  • {fairkauri for allowing me to upload a backport of the mod.}



My deepest apologies to:
  • Groovtama et al, for having the races use custom skeleton paths. Seriously, I
    can't stress this enough - do NOT ask for help on the XPMSSE page.
