Race Distribution Framework

Think SPID, but instead of getting an outfit or a perk, you distribute an entire race or the exact look of an NPC. Useful for mods that use custom races to avoid compatibility problems, or for changing the looks of an NPC without actually editing the records of the NPC. Patches be gone!

Also useful for fun mods like "replace every character with Nazeem". Cause who doesn't want every character to look like Nazeem?

For mod users:

• []If a mod requires this mod, just install it as normal. Nothing for you to do but install and play!.

  For mod authors:

  • []Distribute custom races (think COTR, SkyFurry, Project Ja-Kha'jay)

    []Distribute custom looks (an NPC replacer that requires NO patches?) Hell yeah!

    []Complete reworking of how armor races (RNAM) work for custom races (See below for more information)

    How to Make a Plugin for RDF (For Mod Authors/Advanced Users)

    If you're familiar with SPID, KID and similar, you'll have no problem making your own submods for RDF. I recommend downloading the example (in the optional files) to understand how to make your own replacers.

    • []Create a new txt file in SKSE/Plugins/RaceSwap folder.

      []You will want the base ID for the character/race you intend to change.

      []Let's say we're making a mod to replace Jarl Balgruuf (BaseID: 13BBD) with the looks of Ulfric (BaseID D0575).

      []Your first line in your txt file should look like this (without quotes): "match=13BBD swap=D0575"

      - Matches accept any combination of the following: NPC, Race, Faction, Probability (Probability is how likely the match will apply to a given NPC, default 100%). Note: The match setup is exclusive (eg: Race + Faction means only NPCs that match both race/faction will apply)

      - Swaps accept only one race/NPC. Swaps also accept a weight, which determines how likely a given swap will apply over another one (default 10)

      - Excludes accepts any combination of any amount the following: NPC, Race, Faction. These are inclusive (eg: matching the race or the faction will exclude the NPC from the entry), and you can include multiple races/factions/npcs per entry

      - Vampires NPCs are treated as their non-vampire counterparts when determining wh
