This mod allows the player to customize their character by choosing a class and specialization similar to previous Elder Scrolls games. It also adjusts starting skills and attributes based on both race and gender to create more diversity among the different races of Skyrim.

INSTALLATION
Disparity works best when used with a new character. Racial abilities may not update properly when applied to existing characters.
This mod requires Dawnguard, Dragonborn, SKSE, and SkyUI v5. 1+
If you are not using SkyUI v5. 1 or greater, then make sure to download the patch for older SkyUI versions listed in the optional files section.
- SkyUI 5. 1 is required in order to have the option to re-name the custom classes.
- FISS is required if you wish to save your settings and/or create custom class presets.
When updating to version 1. 45, make sure that the Thief Stone ability is not active (visible) in your active spell effects list prior to saving and updating.
If you're updating from Version 1. 1 or later, just replace the old files with the new ones and continue your save.
If you're updating from Version 1. 0, then I strongly recommend starting a new character or else reverting to a save prior to installing Disparity, rather than trying to update from Version 1. 0.
UNINSTALLING
Before uninstalling: Unlock the class settings, in the Class menu. Make sure you are not under the effect of any of the special racial powers, or revert the racial abilities and standing stones back to their vanilla state by unchecking those options. Then make a new save, exit the game,

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 10,886 endorsements and 222,812 downloads.
- Adds meaningful character customization beyond vanilla choices.
- Touches multiple systems—class, attributes, and standing stones—for a cohesive overhaul.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2024—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or mods.
- Attribute changes based on gender and weight might not appeal to players who prefer purely cosmetic or lore-friendly tweaks.
For Skyrim players who want deeper role-playing and character building, especially those who enjoy tweaking stats to match their character concept. If you're a completionist or modder looking to expand character diversity, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer minimal changes or are on a strict load order.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a mod that affects attributes and standing stones, make sure to load it after other mods that change similar systems to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to keep your load order clean.
- Check the mod's comments or forum for any known compatibility patches if you're using other gameplay overhauls.
