📋 About This Mod

A custom recreation of TES' Dunmer race with heavy focus on visuals, with unique passives and abilities.

This mod features a custom recreation of the Dunmer race from The Elderscrolls Series. It has a strong focus on the Cosmetics and Visuals of the Dunmer, however there are still unique passives and spells, and some level progression for each subrace.

This mod includes:

6 subraces themed after the Great Houses, House Dagoth, and the Ashlanders

7 custom spells with custom VFX

Custom Race and Subrace Icons, as well as Passive and Spell Icons.

11 Unique Heads (6 masc, 5 femme) with Brow Ridges, Scarification, and Support for Bodies 1, 2, 3, and 4

A grand total of 50 unique Skin Tones and 64 Eye Presets (includes blind options)

A Tattoo Atlas with 19 hand drawn Tattoos

An assortment of custom piercings themed after the gaudy gold and green piercings of TES3

A slew of patches for many popular head/hair mods, slightly adjusted to fit into the Dunmer race!

As of now the only requirements for the base mod are Improved UI and ImprovedUI Assets for the Race/Subrace Icons

This mod currently comes with 6 subraces, and while they are mostly for flavour they do have their own unique passives and spells, the 6 subraces are as follows: House Redoran, House Hlaalu, House Telvanni, House Indoril, Sixth House, and Ashlander.

The core Dunmer race comes with 2 Passives at level 1, and two unique racial abilities, one at level 3 and one at level 8.

Almost every subrace comes with a Passive at level 1, and a unique racial ability at level 5, barring House Telvanni and Sixth House.
