Description
This is it! The mod I’ve wanted to share for a while! Draenei in Skyrim! I’ve been taking a lot of time to make this mod and I’ve learned a lot while doing so. I now know how to make races, proper followers, and even use Tes5edit scripts. To be honest it was a pain in the know what but in the end it was worth it.
Adding Draenei as a race to Skyrim isn’t a new concept, as several others have attempted it. However, I always felt they were somewhat lacking in features and never quite looked proper.
The race's Features:
-Compatible with all official dlc
-Vampire and Werewolf compatible (Pretty sure)
-Custom body meshes (Legs that match the body!)
-Custom hooves
-Animated tails
-Head tails
-Several eye color options that glow-in-the-dark (blue, green, purple, and white)
-Five preset options
-Four horn options (Available at a forge near you at no cost!)
-Tail/Head/Body Jewelry (More later)
-Compatible armors with two options: CBBE original and Killer Keos Skimpy(All Bodyslide Compatible)
The Draenei (DRAN-eye) are a race featured in the World of Warcraft game series.
Adds the Draenei as a playable race to Skyrim, letting players create characters from the World of Warcraft race. With 764 endorsements and over 37,000 downloads, it's a popular race mod for fans of the Draenei. Last updated in 2019, so compatibility with current Skyrim versions may be uncertain.

⚠️ Cons

For World of Warcraft fans who want to play as a Draenei in Skyrim. Also for players who enjoy adding new races for roleplay or variety. Skip if you want a race with unique gameplay mechanics — this is purely cosmetic.
