After making my first character preset (EvE), I decided to make another one for a different race. The race I have probably played the least was orcs, because I didn't like their vanilla look. After I looked through the nexus and didn't find many orc characters, I knew what the race of my next preset will be!
Hard Requirements
RaceMenu -
Soft Requirements
- CBBE - It is not requiered to use my preset, but you need it to replicate the exact look of Eve. If you install it you should also choose one of the improved Eyebrow option, if you dont use another replacer.
- Female Body Texture - Not required as CBBE has its own higher resolution skin, but if you want the same look as I have you must use Leyenda Skin (for the younger option) or SKY Female Textures (for the more mature version). You can use other skin textures, but they will impact how the character looks! When you install Leyenda Skin make sure to use the "Alternative" option and also choose the makeup improvements!
- Improved Eyes Skyrim - Other eye texture replacer should also work. I just like Improved Eyes the most.
- KS Hairdos SSE - Great hairstyles (some are a bit over the top, but you dont have to use them :P) and without this mod you wont have the one I used. You could also install Apachii Sky Hair and look through their hairstyles, if you don't like KS Hairdos.
- SkyUI - Is required for the search function of RaceMenu. The rest should work fine without it.
Recommended Mods
The mods in this section are not required for my preset to work but i wanted to include them anyway, so you can recreate the same look I have in the screenshots.
- ENB - I used a customized version of Re-Engaged ENB for my screenshots, so choose that one if you want a similar look. Or you could try my own newly released ENB.
- Weather Mod - I use Dolomite Weathers and True Storms (make sure to also install the compatiblity Patch). A nice alternative would be Vivid Weathers Definitive Edition. If you want a realistic and fantasy hybrid look for your game you should definitly take a look at Obsidian Weathers.
Installing the Preset
- Choose a preset - Either the young version (for something like Leyenda Skin) or the mature version (for Sky Female Texture or other rougher skin textures)
- With Modmanager - Just hit the "download with manager" button and install it
- Manually - Extract the .7z File and copy the "SKSE" folder inside of your "Data" folder
After the installation
- Open RaceMenu
- Change your Gender to female (obviously)
- Choose the Orc race
- Set the Complexion Slider to 0
- Go to the "Preset" Tab
- Press "F9" and choose "Zara.jslot"
- Enjoy!
