📋 About This Mod
After multiple requests I have made this resource. Included you will find all the basic files to get your own Race mod up and running.
All the files are annotated with explanations what the different parameters do and how they relate to one another.
I consider this to be an advanced tutorial. Remember to regen UUIDs when releasing anything using this resource to maintain compatibility/avoid UUID conflicts with others.
More advanced techniques can be found in my Github pages here (Changelings), here (Goblins) and here (Aasimar).
2. 0. 0. 0: Added SpellLists, SkillLists and PassiveLists annotations.
Requirements:
Basic modding knowledge and the typical apps.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Handy starting point for modders who want to make custom races without reinventing the wheel
- Comments on each line mean you're not left guessing what each part does
- Decent community trust for a resource mod (83 endorsements)
⚠️ Cons
- It's a template, not a playable mod — if you're looking for a new race to play, this isn't it
- No actual content included, just the framework, so you'll need to do all the heavy lifting yourself
- Last updated in November 2023 — might not cover the latest Skyrim version changes
For Skyrim mod authors who want to create custom races with sub-races and need a structured starting point. Skip if you're a player looking for new playable content — this is a development tool, not a gameplay mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Open the template in the Creation Kit and read the comments carefully before editing anything.
- Use this as a base, but always test your custom race in a clean save to avoid conflicts.
- If you're new to modding, consider checking out a video tutorial on race creation to complement this template.
