📋 About This Mod
Custom Race Skeleton Fixes - No RaceCustomizer Requirement
Description:
This mod patches certain custom races that require a custom/non-vanilla skeleton to use a separate path for it, thus avoiding conflicts with humans and other humanoid races; also removes the RaceCustomizer requirement.
It does so by solving the CTD that happens when the Player used a race whose skeleton is not in the default/vanilla path.
Currently supported: (CaN) Crimes Against Nature (Pony race only), AnimeRace Nanakochan.
For the AnimeRace Nanakochan, it also splits the Player-race-replacing component of the mod into a separate plugin, following the standard set by other custom race mods and allowing the race to be used for NPCs only while the Player themselves remains human (or uses any other custom race the user may prefer) by simply disabling/hiding the "Player" plugin.
Usage Notes:
--- RaceCustomizer is no longer required for the race mods if you use the patches from this mod.
--- The skeleton files included in this mod come straight out of the original race mods as well as the vanilla game. If you use a skeleton replacer with extra bones or tweaks (such as ZeX or Knee Fix) and need to have them load on the custom races too, you will have to first find a suitable compatibility patch for them with merged skeleton files (e.g. AnimeRace Nanakochan - Zex Skeleton) and then manually place the skeleton files in the proper paths for each custom race:
>> CaN Pony Race: Meshes\Actors\Character\CharacterAssets\CaN_Pony\ || Meshes\Actors\Character\_1stPerson\CharacterAssets\CaN_Pony\ (1st person)
>> AnimeRace Nanakochan: Meshes\Actors\Character\CharacterAssets\nanarace\ || Meshes\Actors\Character\_1stPerson\CharacterAssets\nanarace\ (1st person)
--- The original mods still include their own skeletons in the vanilla path (replacing the standard human skeleton files).
Thus, you MUST install a loose-files skeleton replacer such as ZeX or the Knee Fix and make sure it loads AFTER any of these race mods and wins any possible conflicts.
- (CaN) Crimes against Nature Notes
--- CaN already includes separate skeleton paths for the races in their base data, so this patch only changes the Player plugin. You do NOT need this file if you don't intend to use CaN on the Player themselves and only want it for NPC mods.
