📋 About This Mod
What is this?
This is an early release for an update to Expired's RacemenuVR fork that Nightfallstorm and I have been working on for some time.
It SHOULD be stable but as we have not been able to test long playthroughs with it we are unable to 100% guarantee that.
What does this update even do?
This update adds 4 main features:
1.) Face Overlays for SkyrimVR
previously face overlays were not hooked up making them unable to function though they could be selected in the overlay menu, they are now hooked up and work as expected.
2.) Built in ESL Support
The external ESL support patch is no longer required when playing with ESL support.
3.) Fixed presets saved in racemenu using ESL parts not saving correctly
Going along with the previous addition we fixed a bug with the original esl support patch that caused presets using parts from esl files to save incorrectly when in RacemenuVR.
4.) Implemented the memory leak fix from later versions
without extensive testing we have no idea if this is actually working but it should be hooked up correctly.
How do I install this?
Using your favorite mod manager, make sure it loads after RacemenuAE just like the old RacemenuVR and delete skee64.dll and skee64.ini from racemenuAE. If you have the old racemenu ESL support patch disable it. This means specifically the racemenu ESL patch from the misc. files section of the ESL support page not the actual esl support mod

Credits
Expired for the original racemenu and for giving us permission to work on this.
Nightfallstorm for doing literally all of the hard work on this, he deserves my share of the DP but has refused it

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support (145 endorsements, 37k downloads) shows it's trusted
- Directly addresses gaps in the original port, so you get a more complete tool
- Actively maintained (last updated August 2025) — less likely to be broken
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Skyrim VR and the original Racemenu mod to work — extra setup
- Potential conflicts with other UI or character creation mods
- Limited to VR version, so flatrim players get nothing
For Skyrim VR players who want the full Racemenu character editing experience without the bugs from the original port. If you're a modder who relies on Racemenu for customizing NPCs or your own character, this is a must-have. Skip if you play the non-VR version or don't care about character creation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Racemenu mod installed first, as this is an update to its VR port.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files manually.
- Check your load order — place RacemenuVR after the original Racemenu to ensure it takes effect.
