About this mod

My RaceMenu preset.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Info:
Just a RaceMenu preset. I notice a lot of presets only look good from one direction and only in certain lighting situations. I thus tired to take screenshots in a few different light sources and from multiple angles to make sure you know what you are getting.

Update: 
I have since created a modified & higher poly version of this preset - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/42799 

Note: I did not use a facelight in these photo's but I am using an ENB. The ENB makes a huge difference.

Another Note: 
This isn't really necessary but you may also want to keep in mind that I was using the "quality" version of SkyrimSE Re-Engaged ENB for NAT when taking these screenshots. This makes a massive difference with shadows, subsurface texturing, etc. When I turn off my enb then 50% of the time the lighting makes my character looks like shit. In a lot of lighting situations some parts of the face would be really bright while other parts would be way too dark. The ENB fixes all that.

The issue now is that the ENB may be a bit performance heavy for some of you and I don't believe the lower quality re-color version gives you the necessary shading for your character. As such, I am also including my own custom enbseries.ini to go with SkyrimSE Re-Engaged ENB for NAT.

My custom enbseries.ini fits somewhere in between the quality and recolor versions in terms of performance. It has the bloom, sub surface scattering and skin specular options enabled which the recolor / "color correction" version does not. It then has pre pass, ambient occlusion, distant and detailed shadows, cloud shadows and image based lighting options from the "quality" version disabled. Basically it has what you need to make your character look good enabled and some of the more performance heavy processes disabled. You can make these edits manually if you want, but I did it for you.

You don't need to use an ENB (and if you do it doesn't have to be this one) it's just my recommendation since they do help with some of the weird facial lighting problems you tend to see in Skyrim.
