Swooping is bad (A Flemeth RaceMenu preset) ReadMe

"Well, well... what have we here?"

This is a RaceMenu preset intended to make a character resembling Flemeth from the Dragon Age franchise (from DA2 onward). This is my second mod, so I haven't learned how to take imprevecticious so for now you'll have to make due with the ones I have
taken. (The most *lore-friendly* and *immersive* screenshots possible!)

What do I need (in addition to this file)?

- RaceMenu (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29624/?)
- Kai's Makeup for Skyrim (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72955/?)
- Maevan2's eye brows v1.1 [I chose the standalone version] (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72825/?)
- Loks Eyes Standalone with and without glow [the full pack] (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/66630/?)
- KS Hairdos - Renewal v1.3 (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68311/?)
- (optional) Alt Navetsea UNP Seamless [choose UNP slim options] (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30181/?)
- Any dependencies those mods require (I believe that the only other dependency therefore is SKSE, but check individual mod pages)

NOTE: I don't know what will happen if you don't use the optional body/face replacer. The .jslot preset doesn't require it; what will most likely happen is Flemeth will look slightly different. If you have a complete pack you like, or another option
like CBBE, you can and should try this mod still. If you have problems, report them to me; I'm not sure how much I can do, but it's important to acquire that information so I may inform others.

I have those; how do I install?

Just mosey on down to the downloads tab and click the "download with NMM" button. Other mod managers, follow standard mod download procedure. If downloading manually, open up the archive and merge my Data folder with the one in the "Skyrim" directory.

I just installed it, but I'm a first time RaceMenu preset user. How do I use this mod?

I have handy pictures to help! They're labeled in the "pictures tab" as "using the preset 1-4". The basic format is as follows however:

- Start a new game/open up racemenu with "showracemenu"
- Navigate to the races tab and choose Nord
- Navigate to the next tab and choose female for sex (1 on racemenu)
- Go to the presets tab on the right of the screen, above your character's head
- Hit f9 to bring up a list of presets
- Click on the "Flemeth_Finished_Preset" option
- Make any tweaks or changes you want
- Finalize the character
- (optional) Name the character Flemeth
- Enjoy

I've done everything thus far and I want to complete the look like you in the screenshots. How?

You'll need a couple more mods first. They are as follows:

- Nightshade's Equippable Horns (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/57198/?) for the horns (as a side note, if anyone knows of a closer match for flemeth's hair-horn things/creates them, I would be eternally greatful.)
- Calyps's Open Dragon Priest Masks (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17707/?) for the mask; I used Vokun (another side note, if anyone knows of a closer match for her crown/diadem/face thing and/or creates it, I would be eternally greatful.)
- Dragon Age II Flemeth Armor (http://modtype.doorblog.jp/archives/7970072.html) *Warning: the mod site is in japanese. To download translate the page and look for the "Download (Download)" button.*
- (optional but highly recommended)
I cheated the items in for the screenshots. The armor requires elven smithing (I think), you have to go find Vokun (or another mask you think fits better), and the horns are craftable as jewelry.

F.A.Q.

Will this be ported to SSE?
Not until SKSE64 is ported, as this preset relies on RaceMenu.

Will this be ported to the consoles?
Unlikely, as there are a lot of mods that this preset depends on. That being said, if those mods are ported, it should be simple to port over. (No I'm not packaging the files I used with this, either with or without author permission. Go download their
files and endorse them).

Is this lore-friendly?
From most perspectives no. If you don't want Dragon Age: Inquisition spoilers, sufice to say "Bodies are such limiting things; I am but a fragment cast adrift from the whole, a bit of flotsam to cling to in the storm".
Note: there is nothing of importance after this note, so you may stop reading if you don't want the spoilers.












{MASSIVE DA:I SPOILERS} I'm personally playing this as if during the end scene with Flemeth, the part of her that she might have sent through the eluvian made it's way somehow to Nirn, where it reincarnated. She then lived a normal life on Nirn
(albeit with some troubling dreams) until she slew that first dragon. She remembered everything after that and began working to return to Thedas (which is also the inspiration for my Eluvian portal mod). {END SPOILERS}
