📋 About This Mod
The lands of Tamriel are a place filled with mysterious and powerful magic that is studied much like a science. If one can reshape the flesh of the body to create a new face, adding or removing scars and muscle or editing bone structure, then changing your gender completely isn't much of a step further. It is even said that the Argonians of Black Marsh regularly use the Hist to swap their physical sex. Now, the Face Sculptor in the Ragged Flagon will offer this private service to you as part of her standard package deal.
This mod edits the racemenu that pops up when changing your face in Riften, allowing you to change your sex and name. but not your race. This was done for both lore-friendliness and to reduce potential issues.
How does it work?
Those of you who have used console commands to bring up the Racemenu may have noticed before that changing your gender doesn't 'stick'. NPC's will continue to refer to you by the gender you initially picked at the start of the game. However, this only applies to the console command, not the papyrus script function in the creation kit, so your new gender and name will be properly updated across the save, even if you change multiple times. This mod swaps out the Sculptor's 'LimtedRaceMenu' for the regular one (So that you can edit sex) and sets all races except for your own to be non-playable, so that you cannot go from being a Nord to an Argonian. Your own race is left visible because if there is not at least one race option, the game crashes.
The mod also tracks whether or not you just gave yourself a new scar and makeup, or actually changed your gender, and updates a globalvariable to note that fact. Any mods using this one as a master could condition dialogue or quests based on the player being transgender, if they so wished.
Disclaimer
I am not interested in getting into debates over the lore-friendliness or 'appropriateness' of putting transgender content in games. If you have a bug report or genuine criticism regarding the implementation, no problem. But any bigoted or ignorant comments will simply be ignored, so you are wasting your own time, not mine.
Installation
First, install SKSE.
Then, simply install with the mod manager of your choice (recommended) or manually
extract the download contents into your data folder.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything that does not edit the DLC1Surgery quest or it's associated script. Growl does this, so there is a seperate version for that (Only download one version).
Update: TheVoidKnight has created a version compatabile with Incognito, and a combined version for both Growl and Incognito, and kindly given me permission to upload them here. Hugely appreciated <3

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 578 endorsements and over 44k downloads, so it's proven to work for many players.
- Free sex change and name change in one trip—no console commands or mod menus needed.
- Ties into the vanilla Face Sculptor, so it feels like a natural part of the game world.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods that alter the Face Sculptor.
- Only changes physical sex and name—no gameplay or dialogue changes, so it's purely cosmetic.
- Potential conflicts with mods that overhaul the Ragged Flagon or the Face Sculptor's dialogue.
For Skyrim players who want to change their character's gender mid-playthrough without starting over or using console commands. Also great for roleplayers who want a narrative reason for a character transition. Skip if you're looking for deeper gender-related content like new quests or dialogue—this is purely a service addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to visit the Ragged Flagon in Riften—the Face Sculptor is located there, and the mod adds the new dialogue option.
- If you're using a mod manager, install via that to keep your load order clean; otherwise, just drop the files into your Data folder.
- Since it's a simple mod, it should be safe to add mid-playthrough, but always save before trying the service just in case.
