📋 About This Mod
This adds as many racial abilities as possible from my Better Races mod to the game's NPCs.
This mod extends the racial abilities from the Better Races mod to NPCs in the game, making them use the same enhanced traits as the player. It's a niche addition for players who want more consistent racial mechanics across all characters. With 19 endorsements and 655 downloads, it's a small but functional mod for those already using Better Races.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (19 endorsements) — if you're already using Better Races, this is a no-brainer
- Makes the world feel more consistent when NPCs can pull off the same racial tricks you can
- Lightweight addition that doesn't overhaul anything else — just plugs racial abilities into NPCs
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Better Races mod to work — this is an add-on, not standalone
- Last updated October 2025 — might not be compatible with future game patches, so keep an eye on it
For players who already use Better Races and want NPCs to have the same racial abilities, making combat and encounters more varied. Skip if you don't use Better Races or prefer NPCs to stay vanilla.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Better Races is installed and working before adding this mod, or NPCs won't get any new abilities.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test a few NPC encounters after installing to confirm the racial abilities are actually showing up.
