Regarding SG Hairs Pack 350 - I can't provide a link to it here, but you can find it by searching for "SG Hair 350" on Google.If you can't find it then PM me. If you ask for a link in the comments I will not reply to it.
If my snow elf skin tones are not to your liking, you can change them by replacing my mod's textures. Instructions on how to do this are under the Customization section of the mod description.
Help! My falmer don't look like the dwemer in your screenshots!
You forgot to install the SKIN PATCHER from The Ancient Falmer Patch Center. Make sure it loads AFTER the main mod, meaning the contents of the Skin Patcher must overwrite the Ancient Falmer mod folder.
If you installed the SKIN PATCHER and the skins still aren't changing, then you're probably using Vortex. Vortex doesn't give you the same amount of load order control as Mod Organizer does (cough Vortex is inferior cough) you need to do some extra work.
For instructions, see the spoiler below:

You need to open the contents of the Skin Patcher, and cut and paste it into the main mod's folder. Select yes if asked if you want to overwrite.
My game is crashing on start!
You are most likely missing a requirement. Read through the installation guide again and make sure you installed every requirement needed for the mod to function. If you installed any plugins or patches, you must make sure their requirements are installed, too.
I started a new game and I'm crashing when I select Snow Elves in RaceMenu!
This can be caused by one of several things, but it is all related to the male body meshes or textures in some way, shape or form:
- You chose the SOS body in the installer, but didn't install Schlongs of Skyrim
- You chose the SOS Light body in the installer, but didn't install Schlongs of Skyrim Light
- You chose the SkySight Skins body in the installer, but didn't install Skysight Skins
- There is a mod in your load order that is overwriting the SOS, SOSL, or SkySight Skins body meshes and causing CTD's
- You are using incompatible Oldrim textures in SSE (not all Oldrim textures are compatible with SSE)
Please make sure you installed the right requirements, and that there are no incompatible mod conflicts in your load order. If anything overwrites the male body meshes that SOS or SOSL provides, you will most likely crash. If you chose SOS or SOSL in the installer, and you do not have either of the two main mods installed, you WILL crash for sure.
Vampirism isn't working! or My character isn't getting his/her Better Vampires/Sacrosanct/Sacrilege spells!
Reinstall RaceCompatibility, and make sure you selected the corresponding patch for the vampire overhaul you use (you can only pick one)
Reinstall the Timelost Dwemer, and make sure you installed the corresponding patch for the vampire overhaul you use (you can only pick one)
Read the Load Order section of the mod description under Installation > Load Order. You must load the vampire overhaul mod folders, plugins, and patches in a particular order for things to work.
Where are the Snow Elf followers?
Valrysa and Ashian are both in the Silverblood Inn.
My male snow elves have holes in their crotches!
You are missing the Snow Elf SOS Plugin. You need both SOS/SOS Light and the Snow Elf SOS Plugin if you want your male snow elves to have genitals.
If you have the Snow Elf SOS Plugin installed, and your Snow Elf males still have holes in their crotches, you may need to manually-apply their schlongs. Make sure to apply the Snow Elf schlong.
Make sure you load the Essentials Patcher AFTER the main mod's folder.
If you’re experiencing weird texture stretching on females or males, then you might have installed the wrong textures. For example, if you are using CBBE, you MUST install the CBBE option in my mod's installer. If you are using Skysight Skins, you must install the Skysight Skins option in my mod's installer etc
Is there an Xbox One port? Xbone port when?
I don't own an Xbox so I have no plans to port the mod. Other users are welcome to try though, provided they ask me for permission and follow my mod's permissions.
Can you make Valrysa into a character preset?
No, sorry!
New penis mod came out. Can you make a patch for it?

i just found an easy way to fix skin texture problem in vortex. first right click the main mod. then click manage file conflicts. then under the texture drop down change the skin from main mod to the skin patch mod.
Any chance anyone might be able to make a combo patch between this and Lost Races of Nirn's snow elf race with their perks and abilities but this mods body?
Have you considered a greater narrative for this mod? Maybe a patch to add in a special start? My first playthrough had an incredible yarn-spin involving a Falmer kept as a 'control subject' to be 'used in case of critical subject degradation' during the enslavement to the Dwemer. Placed in a stasis cage, where time never passes, he only awakens in said cage after some bandits tinkered with it (and died as a result). Suddenly it's 4000 years later, and he is alone in a -very- alien world.
Imagine how he felt when he found the companion falmer? Or how he felt meeting the first degraded falmer. Looking at the city of Solitude knowing that every stone laid there was done by his people, worked to death in its construction.
Haboring a four thousand year old hate, when no one in the world today knows why.
if you want help writing the script for a custom narrative for the Falmer character, please let me know!
forgive me if this was already discussed, but is there a way to list the "snow elf" race entry in race menu to be "Falmer"? (similarly, to display the "deep elf" race entry in race menu to be "Dwemer"?)
I love reading all the stuff this mod does, and thought about getting it, but I do have a question. Is it possible to have a version which doesn't add any NPCs to the game? I kinda wanna be the only Snow Elf around~ (besides the Dawnguard official NPCs, of course).
glad you like it! the base mod itself (Snow_Elf_race.esm) is only the playable race + gameplay/spell related stuff, only plugin that adds npcs is the follower plugin which is optional. the gelebor and vurthur replacers are there for consistency :)
Ah ha, I see now what I missed before. Also... are you the mod author? *looks at name* I had another question but maybe those who've played through know. Are there dialogue options to tell Gelebor you're a Falmer, too? I'm wondering about immersion as far as meeting him goes.
Oh, I see! Yea that's the biggest thing for me, if I'm playing a Falmer and go through all this work (the quests) and get to Gelebor and I can't even tell him I'm a snow elf too... that'll suck, LOL. I wonder if it can be its own mod though, or maybe an update to this one. Thank you for the help!
Edit: Another thing that would be cool, is adding in the ability for NPCs to comment on one's pale skin, like they do with vampires!
Racial features of this mod are really great, but I’m still desperately trying to make my character not look like a Nord, to no avail… if someone could help me to have this mod’s racial features along with a high poly mer appearance it would be much appreciated.
I have tried everything I can to get this mod to work with better vampires but everything I've tried ends in the same result. Player is a vampire but race is not so I cannot feed on anyone. I've followed the guide front the back twice over trying to get it to work but nothing has. Feeding as a vanilla race does work so it isn't BV that is broken and could only be this mod if I'm not mistaken. Any help would be appreciated as I would love to start a save with this race as a vampire with Skyrim Unbound and feeding being broken from the start is ruining it, also with conner's survival mode also doesn't recognize me as a vampire while it does recognize vanilla races, too.
Solved it finally, decided to just try going against the load order guide instructions and let race compatibility override better vampires and it successfully marked me as the vampire race. At least my interpretation of it made me think better vampires files should be used instead of race compatibility, perhaps the description should be updated/made more clear?
I think you were confused between plugin order and mod folder order, and I make that distinction in my load order guide. You ended up doing exactly what my guide says, anyway, so I'm glad you fixed it.
You are indeed suppose to load RC's mod folder after BV's mod folder, but you're supposed to load Better Vampires.esp after RaceCompatibilityUSKPOverride.esp, which is stated specifically in my guide. The load order guide is made for MO2, so that might have also mixed things up for you.
I really love this mod, thank you for making it! I know you have problems with your account, I hope it all works out fine. Your work is great! I had a previous comment here about adding vampire eyes to your custom race. I've tried so many things like custom vampire eye mods (it worked at first, but all the vampire npc's had blue vampire eyes, which was fine even if I've wanted player only eyes, until that caused all of them to have the dark face bug etc) When you have the time, and get your account back, would you consider making custom eyes for the ancient falmer race? As an option in the fomod maybe. I've just thought it would be really cool to have blue vampire eyes as a snow elf. I've tried it making myself but you see..
Hi syliviaen, thank you! Sure I can make a simple mod like that, though I'm a little busy this week.
If you want to try making the plugin yourself, you can change the vampire eyes by opening Snow_Elf_Race.esm and the eye mod you want to use (if it has a plugin) and editing the proper records in Creation Kit. You should look for snowelfeyesvampire or something like that in the textures category. Open that and select the texture you want from the other mod by navigating to its location in your Skyrim data folder. If you're using a mod manager like MO2 then the texture will be in your virtual file structure, not directly in your data folder.
Note that this will affect all vampire snow elves.
As for your question about replacers: IIRC I made it so that the main mod doesn't touch Gelebor and Vyrthur anymore, so any NPC replacers that change their looks should work. Just don't install the Gelebor and Vyrthur plugin and it should work.
Thank you so much! No worries, take your time! I'll try to do it myself too, though I don't have much faith in myself I never used creation kit before lol. I appreciate your help! I'll wait for your update
Hello again. Are you still planning to do it? I just thought I might leave a comment here in case you've forgotten. I tried doing it myself, but I wasn't successful, lol :') I appreciate your help before!
Greetings. I have encountered a rather severe bug.
It appears as though whenever I load a save of my Falmer character, they are spewing ice from their mouth and immediately die. This happens regardless of the save I load, so it appears to be universal. I receive an error message "immersive citizens failed to compile scripts." I have no idea if this is related, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Of course, this is a new character, and I am currently using Realm of Lorkhan to create my character. When I load a save inside of the realm of Lorkhan, I am spewing ice inside of the Riverwood tavern, and proceed to die immediately.
did ya try this on vanilla skyrim? are there any mods conflicting/overwriting it? what mod manager are you using? also the ancient flamer should not be affecting immersive citizens at all
also whats your loadorder? (try pasting it in pastebin)
No, I'm on script extender. There is, only holds the city overhaul, and it doesn't change anything regardless of me overriding it either way. Vortex sometimes the immersive citizens error appears other times it does not. I have no idea what is wrong with that.
I will post my load order later, as it is very late for me right now. Regardless, I appreciate the assistance, I'll have to take a deep dive at some point and get to the bottom of this problem. Thanks again.
Also, wanting people to install a 1.5GB hair mod for two followers is incredibly unrealistic, just as an observation. I hope the author reads my post and takes my thoughts into consideration.
