📋 About This Mod

DescriptionVolume 1 contains my past Racemenu presets along with some new ones. You'll find presets for every single race available in Skyrim, many with male and female presets. I have plans to add to the current roster to have a preset for each race and gender. Preset previews can be found in the image tab, as well as on the individual file download tabs.

Individual character presets are listed alphabetically by race, gender, and then name.

The only hard requirement for any preset is Racemenu and High Poly Head. While many of these presets may have an overlay (i.e. extra texture mod) included in their design this is completely optional, and can be deactivated in Racemenu.

A record of extra head parts names and their source mod (e.g. Vapor hair style from KS Hairdos) are visible in each preset's Racemenu image capture, visible below.


A few more quick notes..1) I know the 'Requirements' list is big. I've included everything in my modlist that have currently installed at the time these presets were made. I don't have the time or will to track down exactly what mods each preset is using, so here's all of it.

2) High Poly Head has optional add-on patches for Expressive Facegen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animation - Female/Male, make sure you install these patches as needed or you'll get clipping issues.

3) I'll add the missing presets in the near future and update this page when they're ready.

And finally, 4) Followers: I'm going to be honest, I don't particularly care for creating followers and I don't have the time to invest in making something like Inigo or Lucien. Any followers I make will likely be simple, or perhaps have an NPC replacer option. This will take some time to finish and I ask for your patience.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have High Poly Head and Racemenu installed and activated before adding these presets, or they won't show up.
  • In Racemenu, load a preset from the 'Presets' slot to see the face, then tweak sliders to fit your character.
  • If presets don't appear, check that the mod files are placed in the correct Racemenu preset folder (Data/SKSE/Plugins/CharGen/Presets).
