📋 About This Mod
LE Version: Playable Falmer
SSE Version: Playable Falmer SSE
Welcome to my new creation. I call it playable falmer. Theres already an existing falmer mod but this one will have more features. including at least 4 different falmer models to play with.
Starting the mod, you will be greeted with 2 new races. A single Falmer and A Frozen Falmer. 2 races with 4 different models to play with.
Before we began you will need this mod for this mod to work: - > RaceCompatibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard
So you will have a male and female falmer along with all their gear to be craftable. You will have an reused model of the same mesh but it will be with frozen textures. Male frozen falmers will explode in pieces when they die.
Theres also a falmer faction ring you can craft and equip so falmers dont bother you.
For males when you turn into a vampire your model will dramatically change shape into a more vampire like look. they will feature sharp teeth and whatever else a vampire will have, females will not have a different vampire model tho. As far as i know the non frozen male vampire isnt used in the game. probably im not sure.
Now for spells and powers you a list of summonable falmer weapon/armor. You can summon random falmer creature, sometimes they arent friendly towards people. You will have a power spell that lets you poison your weapon. some optional poor vision effect in 1st person. "blind" does nothing to you but only npcs.
All the spells will be optional and craftable. They wont be forced onto the race except falmer poison. It does 12 damage for 3 seconds for 30 seconds but can only be used once a day. falmers will have 30% better sneak. in vanilla they have the same buff but it only works in combat for them.
Falmer Abilities:
Fortify Sneak: 30%
Blind: 80% (How does blindness work?)
Poor Vision: Vision is slightly blurry in first person (Optional)
Frozen Creature's abilities:
Resist Frost: 100%
Weakness to Fire: 25%
Frost Smoke Effects and Male Body Explosion
Falmer Poison: Equipped weapons is coated in poison for 30 seconds once a day.
Conjure Falmer Sword Conjure Falmer War Axe
Conjure Falmer Bow Conjure Falmer Shield
Conjure Falmer Armor Conjure Falmer Npcs
One-Handed: 5 Archery: 5 Sneak: 10
Alteration: 5 Destruction: 10 Restoration: 5
Optional Files:
PF - Blind: Makes the first person view more blurry. its not final but its lacking that blur effect right now so its not that great
PF - No LoinCloth: Removes the Loincloth on the default body for falmers
PF - Falmer Wings: This will add the falmer wings used on the vampire falmer (DG) on all the falmers for from this mod.
Playable Falmer SSE adds two new playable races—Falmer and Frozen Falmer—with four models total, craftable gear, a faction ring to avoid attacks, vampire transformations for males, and optional spells including poison and summoning. Requires RaceCompatibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard. A niche race mod with 177 endorsements, last updated in 2019.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 177 endorsements and over 7,500 downloads.
- Adds real gameplay variety with two races and four models, including a unique frozen variant that explodes on death.
- The faction ring is a smart touch—lets you play as a Falmer without getting attacked by your own kind.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE patches or mods.
- Female Falmer don't get a unique vampire model, which feels like a missed opportunity.
- Requires RaceCompatibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard, an extra dependency that can complicate load order.
For Skyrim players who want to roleplay as a Falmer and explore a different perspective on the game. If you're into race mods with unique mechanics like crafting your own gear and avoiding faction hostility, this is worth a shot. Skip if you prefer polished, frequently updated mods or don't want to deal with extra dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you install RaceCompatibility for Skyrim and Dawnguard first, and load it before this mod in your mod manager.
- Craft the faction ring early to avoid random Falmer attacks while exploring Dwemer ruins.
- Use the poison power wisely—it's once a day, so save it for tough enemies.
