✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lore nerds will love the Oblivion-accurate heights (326 endorsements).
- Simple tweak that makes races feel more distinct without breaking anything.
- No dependencies, just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Only changes a few races—Bosmer get a big nerf to 0.90, which might feel off if you're used to vanilla.
- First-person view won't reflect height changes, so you won't see the difference unless you're in third person.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that edit race records, so check your load order.
For Skyrim players who care about lore consistency and want races to feel more distinct in third person. If you're a roleplayer who wants your Altmer to tower over others, this is for you. Skip if you play mostly first-person or don't care about racial height differences.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- If you use other mods that change race records (like body mods), place this mod lower in your load order to ensure its height changes apply.
- Test in third person to see the height differences—first person won't show them.
