📋 About This Mod
If anyone wants to port/use the assets to recreate the race for the Special Edition or on XboxOne, go ahead. I would do it myself, but as far as I'm aware some masters this mod requires, such as Expired's RacialCombatability mod haven't been ported and I've forgotten how to add in vampirism compatibility for a custom race, mainly because it's been years since I last looked at that part of the CK.
This mod is a rework of a previous mod cal led The Dwemer and the Falmer. I decided to separate the races into separate mods as having two together was cumbersome.

Why is it an esm? So that people can create other mods around it.
Update 0. 6
New skin tones. (You'll need to reselect skintones or else they'll remain Altmer tones)
Extra way to make Dwarven ingots using: gold ore/quicksilver ore/voidsalts/2 moonstone ore. This will make 5 ingots. (In the future, may add a spell so that one can transmute any salts into other salts as an easier way to get void salts. Also the ingredients may change depending on feedback)
(Requires Dawnguard)
