📋 About This Mod
Description: Sea Elf custom playable subraces with high elf race base, and altered skins, hairs/beards. They all have shock cloak and shock resistence as race powers and similar stats as High elves. It is my version of "fish like" skins with some background story fitting that.
Instal: Download with manager or extract to Data folder of Skyrim SE folder. Subraces should be independent, only some of them have better eyes/colors, so use the one that does fit the best for you as the last one (if you don't use the main file) and with my other mod snow elf - it should be loaded before that one. I used race compatibility mod for vampire/werewolf quests, so it is required for this mod.
Versions: 1.,2. wrong packing 3. playable 4. added warpaints 5. added high elf morph of Sea elf race - the original is based on Wood elf (different only for males - shown in 1st picture) 6. added Dark Moon seafarers - not really lore friendly custom coloured skins. Should be possible to install together with the main Sea Elf race and the other subrace. For me it is some sort of Sea Elf subrace (no lore for that). 7. added Storm Callers - not really lore friendly custom coloured skins. Should be possible to install together with the main Sea Elf race and the other subrace. For me it is some sort of Sea Elf subrace (no lore for that). 8. for both subraces version 1. 1 - changed description of the subraces showed during creation menu. 9. added Divers of the Deep - not really lore friendly custom coloured skins. Should be possible to install together with the main Sea Elf race and the other subraces. For me it is some sort of Sea Elf subrace (no lore for that). 10. updated .esp file of Storm Callers - version 1. 2 - they are independent now - it can be loaded in a game with other sea elf races. +minor polishes (like more fitting hair colors to their skin) 11. added standalone lore friendly subrace of colorless sea-serpent riders - should be as close as possible to the description. 12. changed the custom skin of sea-serpent riders to better colors - grey doesn't look really cool - version 1. 1 13. changed description because it was a bit confusing with a lot of different skins. 14. I added resaved version of old skyrim version of all races in one file as a new main file and moved the old main file to optionals - so I hope there will be no bugs with scripts.
Credits: Thanks to TMPhoenix for his compatibility race - I wouldn't be able to write a script for this. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2853/? And I followed example of Hallgarth Deep Elf race and True Falmer race when I didn't know how to continue - he/she has the best race mods in the original Skyrim and it looks like they are still
