📋 About This Mod
(In a Piper voice) Hmm... what's that for?
Making your character look like the ESO trailer's elf character via a Racemenu Preset.
This is now a redesign of my old preset and I have change a few mods that it is created with. Biggest difference is the preset now utilizes the High Poly Head from VectorPlexus. This preset has proven to be pretty popular so I came back and gave it a once over and some better screenshots. Enjoy!
I have always thought the Altmer from the ESO trailers looked cool so I decided to try and recreate her in Skyrim using Racemenu. With newermind43's astoundingly well made ESO Altmer armor already on the Nexus I decided to share this to complement it.
I created this using the actual Altmer race so in order to get this to look right set your race to Altmer female before loading this preset. I didn't test other races, but I can imagine that it's the stuff of nightmares.
