About this mod
Standalone, simple retexturing mod for the race menu with a variety of options for making your character without stressing you out with a thousand options. Made to be simple. Handpicked assets from other facial skin mods, beards and hairs. Combining your favourite face mods into one without changing everybody's face. Coz that's just awkward.

Version 0.0.2
I probably should've mentioned that all the young and clean face textures as well as the ethereal elven textures could be selected from the race menu option under the complexions tab.Jeez I'm such a noob. So all those facial textures are available for your character without changing everybody's face in the game. In saying, this mod adds a variety of options when creating or editing your character in the race menu screen. That should've been the intro.
Why another race menu mod?
Version 0.0.1What does it add?
Why did I do it?
This is my first mod. Skyrim is a great game with lots of holes. There aren't many RPG's that has muti-class systems so this is one of my favorite RPGs. Got a PC so I finally decided to take a stab at making that mod I never really found anywhere. This started as an experiment of just repainting textures. After seeing the imported textures in Blender, I couldn't help but notice some horrid creature that must've been a creation of Dr. Frankenstein. This is not the dragonborn I was expecting. So I got mad and started repainting textures trying to fix those damn dreaded seams. Then I figured, why not check out the textures that others has created? All that resulted in this mod. IDK what happened.

Version 0.0.2
- Added handpicked hairs from Apachii Hairs and new beard combinations from SV BeardsSE.
- High res textures for beards from Beards by Ithot.
- Added new hair colors, White Blonde, Light Red and Dark Red.
- Desaturated hair and beard textures to get a consistent color. I could never get a blonde Orcish hippy with the rasta. Fixed!
- Resized hair textures to the more common 1024x1024 just to keep consistency. And plus I'm always looking out for performance over the eyecandy. Whats the point of having a character that looks like beautiful Rapunzel when she's causing you that lag? Draugrs does not care about the clarity of your hair and will kill you nonetheless. She gets the dump for that.
- I'm trying to keep it close to the lore friendliness so I did'nt include the anime looking kind of hairs.
- Added Drachis Argonian facial texture. Select it from complexion option in the race menu.
I probably should've mentioned that all the young and clean face textures as well as the ethereal elven textures could be selected from the race menu option under the complexions tab.
Why another race menu mod?
Years ago before I started playing Skyrim again, I spent a lot of time testing out different mods to get the look that I wanted for my character. I ended up with over 10+ different mods for each of the looks that I wanted but each had butloads of different options to choose from. Some of the mods I used required several other complicated tasks involved before I could get it up and running. When I actually succeed in getting it to run without crashing, I'm on the race menu options and I'm scrolling through 250 different types of hairs. I look at the mirror and found out I lost hair of my own pulling it out, while playing and not enjoying. I suppose then I could say that I accidentally made this mod to combine all the great assets created by other modders to make race menu a bit more manageable when I'm my creating characters. It is standalone and you could safely install and uninstall without breaking your other mod structures.Version 0.0.1What does it add?
- Adds young and clean complexions for humans, orcs and elves. In a massive game world, there has to be people who are either young or know how to clean their faces.
- White hair. Grey hair is not good enough. We need white hair. It is more wiser.
- Cleaner body textures. Coz even the dragonborn knows he must become clean.
- Additional eyebrows for male and female.
- Elves share the same eye colors. Coz I keep hearing those stories of how some rich high class high elf girl fell in love with some bum dark elf boy living in the slums of some mining colony. Then they start to breed babies with different colored eyes.
- Purple eyes for humans. Coz I like it.
