Quick straw poll to see the general opinion: In Skyrim, the Orcs are taller than the nords(1.045 to 1.03 for Orcs and Nords), in racial body morphs I followed this precedent and kept them larger; some people contest this and would prefer nords were slightly taller like they were in morrowind. (1.06 to 1.05 for Nords and Orcs) Which race do you think should be taller in Skyrim?: http://www.strawpoll.me/18783630/r
You'll have to use a bodymod for that! I recommend Highly Improved Male Body Overhaul (HIMBO) and then download Bodyslide so you can use custom presets (You just simply select a preset from the drop down, or mess with the sliders, and then select "batch build") there's actually a preset on Nexus specifically made for using this mod with Himbo that makes orcs pretty chubby: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/74883
How did this guy manage to permanently change the orc size for the race? I would like to do this for a custom nord race, but I lack the information to work on it.
Orc women actually get misplaced.. uh... parts when trying to use with BHUNP, so take care. I installed FK's Diverse Racial Skeletons and that fixed the issue, so if anyone has the same issue try getting that mod.
What you need to do however is to manually replace the skeleton from this mod with the skeleton from FK's DRS. I took the skeletonOrc file, renamed it to skeleton_femaleOrc and put it into meshes folder of this mod, and it fixed all issues, and now even physics work.
Thank you for the great mod! A problem is your orc body is unable to get ragdoll by this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67637/ The vanilla races work as normal except your orc race.Any help please?
Edit: I had found the way to fix the unragdoll bug by replace your skeleton with this mod "https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/106007?tab=files&file_id=1000332570". Thanks again HolyServiceBound now i can enjoy my bulky orc without problem any more.
It does affect them, dramatically is up to your opinion, objectively, the female morphs have much lower scaling than the males. (Especially the subtle) In general, people aren't as much a fan of the bulky females.(And those that are would probably usually use the muscular body mods)

They seem to lack fat. Can you make them fatter?

but a correction
In previous games, Redguards, Orcs and Male Nords had the highest endurance.
Redguard males and Nords had the highest strength.
So I'd say vanilla orc size makes sense lore-wise. But I like the idea of larger and stronger orcs. Fits their eugenic warrior culture.
