📋 About This Mod
A step-by-step tutorial on how make your RaceMenu exported character an NPC without having to use Oldrim or Nifmerge.

Written by Kalilies, it addresses a gap in SSE-specific guides. With 1,039 endorsements and 11,588 downloads, it's a well-received resource for mod authors.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved resource with 1,039 endorsements and over 11k downloads
- Fills a real gap—most NPC tutorials are Oldrim-focused, this one is SSE-specific
- Written by a modder who learned the process, so it's practical and tested
⚠️ Cons
- Not a mod—it's a tutorial, so no instant gameplay or visual changes
- Requires external tools (CreationKit, NifSkope) and some modding know-how
- Last updated in 2019, so some steps may be outdated for current game versions
For Skyrim SE modders who want to create custom NPCs from RaceMenu presets without wrestling with Nifmerge. If you're a player looking for new NPCs to download, this isn't for you—it's a learning resource for authors.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have CreationKit and NifSkope installed before starting—the tutorial assumes you have them.
- If you use ECE instead of RaceMenu, grab CharGen Export SE by ousnius to follow along.
- Follow the steps in order; skipping ahead can break the NPC's face or textures.
