What you need:
SSEEdit
How to do it:
Open SSEEdit and select only the race you want to patch ("Succubus Race.esp" in my case) and "Ashihito Artificial Arm.esp" then click ok. Once done the left bar should look something like this:
Expand the race plugin and within it the race subsection, select all records, right click and select "Copy as new record into...":
A series of four input boxes will appear asking you to add and remove prefixes and suffixes to the editor id. Leave the first two blank (removing prefix and suffix), put "_aaaAmputee" in the third one (add prefix) and leave the fourth one blank (add suffix). Once the option to select which plugin to add it to select the third <new file>.esp option (the one with an ESL flag) then click ok:
For the module name put something that makes it clear exactly what it is e.g. "race name - Amputee patch". When done the left side should look something like this:
Expand "Ashihito Artificial Arm.esp" and the race subsection and select the records "_aaaAmputeeNordRace" and "_aaaAmputeeNordRaceVampire", also select the new races in the patch file, right click on one of the selected records and select "Compare Selected:
On the right hand side navigate down to "KWDA - Keywords (sorted)" and right click on one of the records that says "_aaaAmputeeRace [KYWD:07000804]", then select "Copy to selected records", click ok on all pop up boxes. Next navigate down to DATA - DATA, then to Flags (sorted) and right click on any record that is "Playable" and select remove. Next navigate down to "ANAM - Male Skeletal Model" and "ANAM - Female Skeletal Model" and repeat the process:
Next expand the FormID List subsection of "Ashihito Artificial Arm.esp" and select "_aaaOriginRaceList" and "_aaaAmputeeRaceList". Right click and select "Copy as override into...". Select the plugin you made earlier and click OK.
Expand the newly added FormID List subsection of the patch and select the first option. It should look like this:
Right click on the right list above where it says 'NordRacce "Nord"' and select add. Do this for each new race your mod adds (including vampire races) (2 in my case).
Double click on each of the "NULL - Null Reference" records and start typing the editor ID of the race from the original mod untill it is automatically selected, then press tab. Do this for all races and remember the order you did it in (e.g. normal race 1, normal race 1 vampire, normal race 2, normal race 2 vampire etc.), when done it should look something like this:
Do the same for "_aaaAmputeeRaceList" but with the races we added to the patch being sure to keep the order the same. When done if you select both "_aaaOriginRaceList" and "_aaaAmputeeRaceList" from the patch it should look like this:
You can now save and close SSEEdit, don't forget to enable the new plugin in whatever mod manager you are using. Additionally if you want to have multiple custom races with amputee support you will have to make a large patch to put them all in "_aaaOriginRaceList" and "_aaaAmputeeRaceList".
